Let’s get some good camera shaking going, turn on the night vision, and run out of the room randomly.

And make sure to only see the ghost when the camera turns and make it disappear when the camera points back at it.

I've always been a skeptic but when I was a teenager Ghost Hunting shows were a guilty pleasure of mine. Tried watching some of the Ghost Hunters revival recently and holy shit its all so fake. Its a good 45 mins of the team "feeling" something with the rare instance of them claiming to witness activity that is conveniently off camera. Why don't they wear body/head cams? Because then they wouldn't be able to pull that shit and claim their anecdotal experience as "evidence" the location is haunted.

Btw they say every location is haunted now. Even when the best evidence they can find is some odd ambient sound or "EVP" that they suggest vaguely sounds like a noise a person can make. Notice how the person they are presenting the evidence too can never tell what the "EVP" is saying until the Ghost Hunters suggest something. At least in the old days they used to debunk stuff on occasion. They also used to occasionally find more substantial evidence, but I think in the era of HD TV's and Cameras + the scrutiny of the internet they know they cant get away with faking that shit anymore. They basically just go around giving businesses "evidence" to market that they are haunted and enabling delusional homeowners. I'm honestly ashamed that I was ever gullible enough to consider that they may have been legit.

I always envision this whenever I see reality TV.
