Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files: Any fans?

I like this show. They take two clips (out of like 6 proposed) and try to see if it's legit or not via experiments. Their attempts are very accurate I think.

I always watch that show! They just started the new season on Tuesday. For some reason I can't help but watch the marathons when they are on even though I have seen the episodes a million times lol

LOVE IT! Destination Truth is also a huge favorite!

Sounds like mythbusters to me

Well basically what they do is table a bunch of clips of paranormal footage from the internet and tv (so ufos, ghosts, strange occurances) and then choose two from the group to try and debunk. They try to find out what videos are real and which aren't. Its pretty cool

That episode scared me so much I actually had to sleep with a nightlight for a month.  And every sound the cats made during the night convinced me one of those things had managed to get into my house, despite not living anywhere near where it happened and KNOWING it was just the stupid cat doing something.  I wouldn't say I'm normally scared of things like that, just that one.... That one really disturbed me for some reason.

They also don't know whether it's a myth or not. They just say what others have thought. They DID get one to admit it was a hoax (the one with the reporter talking and the "alien" walking behind in the background.

I remember that one, he did it as a joke to see if anyone would notice.

Never seen it but it sounds interesting.

OMG That episode in the MT. Fujii suicide Forest terrified me, and NOTHING scares me. On Destination Truth I mean.

This will probably make people not like me but... I'm not a fan.
I had some grumbling with season one (the 'ghost train' one in the cemetery that they couldn't debunk... if you slow the video down you can clearly see it's a spider. The 'dartmoor beast' had already proven to be a lady's dog. And the sasquatch running one was just filled was flaws- there's clearly a camera crew on the ground yet bill's thermal reading only picks up the two cast members?) but I kept watching it for the few good episodes, like the nightcrawler one that no one seems able to explain.


But season two... I felt like they should just rename the show "let's do a night investigation!" They seem intent on proving that paranormal things exist- like the argentina news video where the 'alien' is clearly CGI but it's not until they get there that they realize the impossible shadow and the guy admits it was a hoax... yet they do a nighttime investigation anyway? And they apparently do NO research (ex the 'battle la' photo negative is available for people to see, and the newspaper admitted long ago that when it was printed, they did things like darken the sky and increase the lights from the gun shots to make it look better... or the 'monster' in the river in florida, which a couple of other shows like Monster Quest had already covered and determined what it was) though it did just make me laugh that their new 'photography expert' is the model girl from The Price is Right.


Sorry if I upset anyone.. it's just annoying to me because the show seemed like it had such promise and I liked the idea of someone tackling the online paranormal videos people post, but no one on the team is really a skeptic and it seems less like them figuring out if the photos/videos are 'fact or faked' and more like them trying to prove paranormal things exist.
