Video #3 - ( Ayanna Russel) My Haunted House 

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout this video a young women discusses her challenges while growing up in an old century home haunted by ghosts. When she first began noticing signs of a spirit being present it was not harmful. Like a scene out of a movie, she noted items in her house being moved around or books falling off of the shelf. Then it began to progress and get worse. These harmless situations turned to dangerous ones when she would wake up witch scratches on her arms or being placed in frightening situations. Red Flags- Confirmation Bias: Humans have the tendency to remember events correlated with their beliefs. One who already may believe spirits will agree even more that her story is true. Proof by Verbosity: This sixteen-minute is packed with information to make the audience think almost too much. How could it not be true? Why would she make this entire story up and go into such detail all for a lie.

This image pertains a photo of a young blonde woman who looks as if she is a news reporter. But looking in the circled area a shape of a face can be seen. The ghost is translucent and one could almost miss the alarming figure if not looked close enough. Red Flags- Patternicity: The human eye is able to perceive patterns by simply looking at an image that would not show the obvious. There are many times the human eye may see something that is not there. Maybe even a ghost. Perception and observation: This can be affected by many factors. If someone does not believe in ghosts they may create an excuse for it so they do not have to accept the fact that they could perceive it.

A 48-year-old women was dropping her daughter off to a pageant and became bored in the car. She began to take pictures of herself while in the car. After looking back at the photos she took, she noticed in one of them that there was something odd. Despite no one being in the car with her – as her daughter was inside at the pageant – she was astonished to find the face of a young boy behind her sitting in the back seat. Little did she know, the road she was parked on was the same road a deadly accident took place on. The woman was not nervous at all as she mentioned she is a magnet for paranormal activity. It happens to her all the time. Red Flags- Appeal to Authority: This is a famous newspaper in the United Kingdom. Many people would agree that The Sun is a reliable source of information. The idea of putting fake news in their articles seems detrimental to their business. Mystical Energy: This woman mentioned that paranormal events happen to her and her family frequently. This positive or negative energy has someone found its way in her photo. She was able to capture this soul in camera.

This image portrays a man who is deceased and is a ghost because he has a white bedsheet. This has been what humans believe ghosts glowing white figure with a human-like shape. Since there is no supporting evidence to prove ghost are real, we create a picture in our minds to give us some type of proof to know what to expect if we feel the presence of a ghost or if you decide to make a career of investigating ghosts.

I think it also must do with indoctrination by authority. Children are raise in different environments and are raise by different customs (culture, social values, religion, myths and folklore) and adapts it from their parents. If their parents vocally tell them that they believe in ghost, the more likely the child is going to too. It also has a big deal with the influences around us. Paranormal movies, TV shows, novels and idols have increased in the 21 centuries that ghost truly exist.  I think too, people are see patterns when there not there. For example, seeing a flash of light or dark shadow indicates that a ghost is presence or the sound of a chair clicking.  I think grief is one the main keys to why people believe in ghosts and spirits. Mediums or physics are always getting a “reading” on someone when they come in to make connection to the other side to connect with a unwanted presence or unwanted guest. I think that is damaging to people vulnerable because half the time the physic is giving a cold  message or asking questions before hand to give  a fake reading.

This image portrays a photo of twin sisters holding hands for a family frame. If you look closer you can see that there is a little blond boy between them who looks translucent. This is indicating that ghost are more are to translucent and look exactly as they were when they died. The photo has no history or background information – I have search for this photo on two separate web browsers and both came up on Esty as cards, which I assumed that the photo has been manipulated and fabricated.

The red flag for this image is

Perception and observation; do you always think you see something in the corner of your eye ? It may just a flash of light? Humans contain too much information that sometime are vision does not mirror our thinking process. For example, say Jim wore a red t-shirt on Thursday and two-weeks later he will ask if you the same question and you would said yes even though the t-shirt he was wearing before had different lettering. It was recognizable to you because of the colour. Or how about street signs, you thought it was a yellow sign with rocks when it was turtles…  Sometimes we see things or depict things others won’t. We all have an opinion and I would have notice the boy between the sisters until zoom in.

Patternicity: People are pattern-seeking fiends. We want to piece to together endless possible and search for unexplained or mystified for reason. Patterns are in society, culture, thought, and thoughts. Ghosts is a patternicity because there is not a lot supporting evidence of energies that ghosts are materials. It only has come from blurry pictures, ghost hunter’s equipment, clairvoyance / mediums and or a gut feeling. There are times humans see patterns that are not there. Ghosts are supposedly a paranormal phenomenon in books and movies.

Video # 2  - ( Ayanna Russell) 5 Facts about Ghosts

# data[].attributes.body
Video (5 Facts about Ghosts): In this video a man reveals 5 facts about ghosts such as why someone may become a ghost, when do they appear and even why they haunt residuals. Red Flags- Appeal to Authority: Being a well-known Youtuber can become a distraction to the audience and viewers, so much that they may believe in anything he says. A subscriber may not even believe in ghosts, but later decides they must be real because someone higher up than them says so. Red Herrings: A lot of the information in this video was common sense. One example that stood out was ‘Who can become a ghost?’. And the answer given was anyone. Of course any one can become a spirit after passing away. It was just useless information to help fill the video and persuade the viewer.

This video is portraying that ghost are physical and real- as well as a prank. This video is just a person swinging the camera in multiple directions causing the viewer to be a little nauseous, heart racing, and maybe a little wary until you catch a glimpse of a man dressed in all black on the screen for five seconds. The screen moves and *Gasp* the man “ghost” is gone. I don’t know if the creator is showing the viewers of what is the difference of bad quality evidence of ghosts and spirits and just really think what they caught on the tape was a ghost. It was not working for me. I thought it was silly. The creator mentions in the description that they (two creators) welcomes anyone to send capture videos of evidence there are ghosts, spirits and demons in isolated and creepy places. I watched the video twice and notice that the guy hand is real.

The perceptions of ghost throughout centuries have been either ghost of the physical person that is translucent, or a white cloth over them. This ghost is a person in white. Not a ghost wearing dark, modern clothing.

The red flags of this video are the mistakes of the creator; I think the video is annoying with the movement and unbelievable, from the movement and angle, the location is some slum abandon place that assuming ghosts like to be presence. There no history of the ghost or research to even identity what ghost they are trying to prove.  The evidence is from the 21st century manifestations of films, books and ghost investigators. The red flag for the video is simplicity: since there is no research or science to back up supporting evidence that ghost are real. It’s just simple. That ghosts are presence and they have an “mystic” energy that technology or ghost hunting tools cannot trace. Another red flag is agenticity because this video mentions that fact it could potentially be a ghost, spirit or demon and that the creators believe that ghosts, demons and most certain angels are real.

The Paranormal Seekers - Website #2 ( Maddi Clark)

The Paranormal Seekers - Website #2 ( Maddi Clark)

http://www.theparanormalseekers.ca/
The Paranormal Seekers ( founded in 2004) is a website that portrays scientifically based paranormal research and investigation group based in Durham Region (Oshawa, Ontario, Canada). This means they are the neighbourhood watchmen to keep the community safe from unwanted spirits. The team uses psychic abilities, technology, and research and investigate cemeteries, museums, commercial buildings, theatres, and historical sites to write, post and file away of paranormal activity in the community. There are 12 members who have specific jobs and some of the places they have been too  is the Parkwood Estate, Whitby Centennial building in Whitby and Ghost Bush road and more.

In my opinion, I think the paranormal seekers are just enthusiasts and fanaticising to seek ghosts and spirits. They are not qualified as a ghost scientist. They are ordinary people who claim to observe, seek or seen the veil between the living and the dead. I believe that they are using people emotions and beliefs to create a show that will sent the truth about ghosts. If someone in the Oshawa community, rather not contact the police, they can call the Paranormal Seekers and they will take of the ghost like it is a bad presence of some sort. They say that they used 21 century technology that can traced the presence of ghosts, even though there has not be one proven support evidence (whether from a video or picture) that shows ghost exist. I read one of their article or “Findings” at the Whitby Centennial building/ courthouse theatre and to my surprise that the article had little information and part of the text was in white.

“On the second floor, Mike began to video tape the Theatre through the window. While he was doing this, we noticed something moving on his camera screen. Upon further examination, we found it to be…the Ghost!” (The Paranormal Seekers, 2005)

That is not all. The photos were not supporting their findings. I notice in one of the photos was in the theatre showing the chairs where there was a circle flash of grey. Almost a reflection from the camera flash, or dust. It’s really bad quality. I want to mention also about the photo with the women, she looks very sad even though I know she is channelling herself to the other side to get to know the ghost. Overall, I am really sceptic of this group because it reminded me of fan group of Ghostbuster, and knowing its rather amusing, I think this is harming their clients if the clients have lost someone important to them or feel a bad presence in their household.
The red flags of the website that portrays is ;
Agenticity : This website is supporting that ghosts, spirits, demons and possible angels in the community of Oshawa.
Observation and perception: They are taking their observations and physiological beliefs is playing a huge part of their decisions to make what is real and not real.
Simplicity: Ghosts is a controversial subject to really understand the science.
Mystic Energy: The group are implying that they claim that ghost have a energy that they can traced with their fancy equipment ( which is just the same used from the show, ghost hunters).

On an episode of Buzzfeed of Unsolved Mysteries was going on the tour of the most haunted house in America “The Whaley House” to investigate to know if ghost truly exist. They brought a camera crew with them to record everything. Apparently, the family went through some horrible times such as a business burning, children dying from scarlet fever and one of the daughters committed suicide. In the article, they explained more in detail of the infamous family and the house that currently stands on a busy San Diego street. Many people have witnessed hearing an infant crying (possible Thomas Jr.) and a young woman (Violet) and reports that Thomas Whaley and Anna still haunt the grounds. Once a police officer had said when he was walking the perimeter of the house, he saw a woman crouch down and crying. She vanished a moment later. When Buzzfeed investigators, Ryan and Shane went into the Whaley House, both experience some time of paranormal incident. Ryan when he was sitting in one of the courtrooms and heard one of the chairs creaking, and he felt ill. Shane on the other hand flashlight went completely out. The creepy part was when the guy went in one of the rooms for five minutes each to tried to communicate with any of the family members and recorded was a whisper. It was seriously epic!  I think that they had a lot of information and that from other people who had gone on a tour to the house had all different response such as door opening from their own, see a woman in old clothing and seeing a man who might be Yankee Jim who was sentence long time ago for attempting to steal a boat.

I have watch the video twice and I must say that is a creepy experience to be going to a haunted house at night. I am sceptic to this episode and have a lot of questions such as ; Why did they film in the middle of the night other to just add more effects to this creepy documentary?  It felt I was watching a old episode of Ghost Hunters – their expression seem too dramatic to me and I was doubtful about the scene in the courtroom and THEY ARE FILMING AT NIGHT LIKE GHOSTS ONLY ARE MORE ACTIVE AT NIGHT! If there was a ghost present, day or night they will be there. It makes me feel that everything was planted to look like the place is haunted. The chair creaking? The house was built in 1857, of course the house is going to creak. I live in a 102-year-old house and the house creak all the time. Plus, they are sitting in chairs that are possibly older than themselves. The sick or nausea feeling did not have to be the house fault, it could have been the state of mind, Ryan was in since he put himself in a situation that is going to make him wary and jumpy. As for Shane flashlight, maybe it did go off because of the ghost’s energy level or maybe they didn’t change the batteries. The recording of the whisper in the bedroom, I can’t really give a opinion on it. I can barely hear what it says but it is there. From, Ryan expression is being fake. I think for certain it was real.  Even though the video says haunted house, Shane and Ryan main attention was to see any of the ghosts that people have witnessed and see for themselves. What I learned in class is that ghost are not real because there has been any “accurate” evidence to support nor that no science method has been able to conduct that give results that ghosts are real.  James Randi says that the following characteristics have been suggested to be attributable to ghosts are that the temperature drop and unexplained sounds and the microphone may pick something an echo up, just as the Buzzfeed crew did. Randi says that people may  feel sick as well. I think the red flags are there for patternicity, confirmation bias and unexplained for the fact many people believe ghost are around because they are tied to something phyiscal, to leave a message or a emotional that is keeping them there.
