Ghost Hunters Live airs tonight from Pennhurst State

GhostHuntersLiveThe annular Ghost Hunters Live event will take place tonight at the infamous Pennhurst State School and Hospital, a place which has previous been investigated by both the Ghost Hunters, and the Ghost Adventures crew.

The episode will be hosted by Josh Gates from Destination Truth, which will return for a fifth season starting next year.

The show will also get visited by special guests (just people from other SyFy productions, what a surprise…), such as Barry Fitzgerald, Kris Willams and Joe Chin from Ghost Hunters International and Ben Hansen, Jael De Pardo, Devin Marble from  Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files.

You will be able to not only see it on your TV-set, but it will also be possible to follow the investigation trough live streams on the official site. There will be a panic button for you to press in those special paranormal occasions…

With the uprise of social media, you will also be able to chat and ask questions to the TAPS crew through the night.

This live investigations may turn out to be an controversial one, as previous has been.

The most controversial thus far is probably the one conducted at Fort Delaware in 2008 where Grant Wilson, has his jacket collar pulled down by an unseen force three times, when his hands where placed in a suspicious manner, getting the critics all fired up.

This clip shows it clearly:

Only the time will tell if something will happen during this investigation.

Check your local listings for your air schedule.

Leaked video showing grey alien, Roswell crash survivor? – Most likely CGI

Every now and then, a video like this leaks out to the from some anonymous source. And here we are again.

This time it is said that it is only one many videos of the same subject, and that this is the first tape that leaked out. The video is said to be of one of the Roswell crash survivors.

Note from the original uploader:

“Alien footage leaked of Roswell UFO crash survivor

Michael Cohen m.cohen@allnewsweb.com

Old footage showing a "grey" type alien who might have been a survivor of the Roswell UFO crash that occurred over sixty years ago in New Mexico has been released onto the Internet. The black and white clip is allegedly part of a much larger collection of footage that was filmed by government agents working on top secret UFO and alien matters between the years 1942 and 1969. Only a fraction of the much longer 180 minute archive of footage has been released thus so far.

The people or person who leaked the footage alleges to have done so anonymously as a precaution to ensure their safety. The alien seen in the video is clearly humanoid and is said to originate from the nearby Zeta Reticuli star system. As can be seen he is wearing the tight fitting space suit so commonly described by those who have experienced close encounters with aliens

It is this publication's believe that this footage is genuine and this is yet another deliberate leak attesting to government knowledge on the UFO issue on the road to to an official announcement of knowledge of alien visitors to Earth.”

 

And by reading the comments on YouTube, the reactions on this video are mixed

YouTube user “deadist” put it this way:

“Looks really damn CGI-ish. The Frames per second for that era of film is waay to fluent and the movement is too mechanical.”

User “synthdood” has a more liberal look into it:

“Well the film looks very real, but stuff like this can be faked these days. Keep in mind that it would take a team of very talented artists, months to create something like this. It is no trivial effort to fake something this, and it would be very expensive to produce. So why would someone fake this? For a new movie maybe? It's possible, but it looks pretty real none the less.”

I tend to believe them. With todays technology, it is possible to make a really good fake, which I also believe this video is.

Dead Russian alien revealed as a hoax, not surprising

Yesterday, I posted this article about a dead alien found in Russia and already then believed it was nothing more than a fraud.

And just what I suspected.

The local police questioned the people, which immediately confessed to creating it themselves. According to Russia Today the alien was just skin from an chicken, filled with bread.

Dead alien found in Russia?

A video that was uploaded on April 14 has begun to make it’s rounds around paranormal websites.

It depicts what looks like to be an dead alien found in the snow somewhere in Russia. The video states:

“Россия, республика Бурятия, Кабанский район, посёлок городского типа Каменск! Ребята в лесу, за посёлком, обнаружели НЛО!!!”

Which when translated by Google Translate to English says:

“Russia, the republic of Buryatia, Kabanskiy district, an urban type Kamensk! The guys in the woods behind the village, obnaruzheli UFO!”

And that’s about what we know about the video.

We do get some close-ups on the alien, but that about all.

To me, the body strikes similarities to other aliens uploaded to YouTube.

Is it real? That’s impossible to say. Without examining the body there is no way to be sure of either.

And every purported alien have turned out to be hoax, so I don’t think this thing will end up to be anything different.

Close encounter of the jerky kind

Check this video out

A teenager in Australia, I believe, is together with a friend, when they apparently hear some strange noises, and starts filming. They move out on the porch, where they spot, and capture what appears to be an bipedal extraterrestrial looking creature on tape. They get a close-up look at it, when suddenly, the power goes out. Strange noises are heard from upstairs but nothing is found, when investigated.

From the porch, they scan the surroundings, but the “alien” has disappeared.

Pay close attention to 01:20 – 01:30, that is when you get the best look at the alien.

But could this video be the real? Does it prove that we we’ve made contact with extraterrestrials?

Nah…

By looking into his other videos, it’s apparent that this was not the first he was approached by, what he calls, an “alien”.

The aliens throughout his videos look similar, which may be a sign that it is the same alien that are stalking them. Or that they just use the same alien suit.

This video could easily have been hoaxed; you’ll never get a full-body shot of the alien, and it’s movement seems kind of jerky, like it was attached to a stick.

The “alien” also seems to be holding on to a light, which just bears to many similarities to an ordinary household flashlight.

Though he is apparently capturing close encounters of the third kind on tape, there are no the-day-after videos, looking for physical evidence after the supposed alien encounter.

That makes me skeptical, and I believe that his videos are the result of prank that, he himself are totally in on.

But, I remain open, and may change the day he shows some physical evidence, not just some jerky nighttime footage.

Alien caught on tape in Canada? - I have my doubts

A new interesting video has turned up on Youtube. This time it's a footage of an alien allegedly shot in Alberta, Canada in June of this year.

The original description from "MrBeeHat" is as following:
"This footage was taken at around eleven or twelve at night in rural Alberta on June 7th 2010. A few days prior to this, me and my brother had been hearing noises from the yard at night and thought we had seen something out the window, so we decided to keep a camera handy in case it happened again. As you can see, the footage we captured shows a tall creature with a strange manner of walking. It had quite large hands with three fingers each and appeared to almost go completely invisible at times. One of the strangest features of this being was it's almost metallic looking skin. Feel free to comment on this footage."

This isn't the first time a video of an alien shows up on the web. In the summer of 2008 this video showed up on Youtube:



The video was promoted by Jeff Peckman, but was said to have been shot by Stan Romanek in North Dakota. Back to the new video.

I have some minor knowledge 3D-rendering, and there are two things interesting to me: when the "alien" runs it looks strange, and the collision with the chair doesn't look natural either. It looks like when an object is knocked on a video game and it just falls down.

I doubt that this video shows an actual alien, it is more likely just a computer rendering of some sort.

Here's the video anyway:

'Nessie' picture branded a hoax

"ATTEMPTS to tout a charcoal drawing supposedly of the Loch Ness Monster as a masterpiece by the Dutch artist Maurits Cornelis Escher have been dismissed as a 'scam' by the managing director of a company which licenses the use of copyright on all the artist's work.

An on-line campaign has been mounted to authenticate the drawing found in an attic by retired traffic cop Raffaele De Feo in Voluturara in Southern Italy. The story has hit the Italian national press and TV...
