Hoaxin’, hoaxin’, hoaxin…

B. is currently busy trying to set that to the Rawhide theme song. I'm going to dig up the dvd box of Season 2 Part 2 and leave it out someplace obvious. We shall see what happens. Heh – Mme.

Next Wednesday, 8-east…
There was a lonely Ouija Board
thetalkingmongoose and Mme. B…

They watched some guys named Grant and Jay
Just some plumbers who made paranormal pay
They did a great job writing up the ’sodes
Until the morons did some mischief that would make their heads explode!

(OUIJA ROLL CALL)
Talking Mongoose! (Hi Gef!)
Mme. Blahblatsky! (Ghant!)
GOWROOOW!

If you’re wondering how they made that move
And other ghostly facts
Just repeat to yourself “It’s done with string,
I should really just relax!”

B. to do the St. Augustine lighthouse episode, or maybe the Manson murder house with the fabulous K-2 meters. She's gotten awfully cranky since the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum and Fort Delaware, but she likes Crow T. Robot.

Blahblatsky and reminded her we have yet to finish this episode. She grunted. I do not know if that is an affirmative or negative reply. In past conversations she has indicated an extreme reluctance to pay any more attention to these "big old fabulists" but perhaps the approach of Halloween will jolly her up. We never got to make fun of the KII ouija meters, after all. I haven't yet told her about the plumber thing. I'm a little afraid. Fascinating observation about the MRI emf field! I once had an MRI and I was sure aliens were trying to send me a message through those loud bonking noises, but that was just wishful thinking. I showed your kind note to Mme.

I'm going to post a link on my blog to this for the sheer entertainment value, I don't know if you had realized this, in case you quit posting, (I am tired for the night and can't continue), but it has been found out that Jason and Grant aren't even plumbers, I don't know if this is in a previous post, I started with the "fake door chicanery" in Louisiana episode. Evidently, someone took the time to check with the Rhode Island Bureau of Licensing and couldn't find Grant, but did find that Jason had an old one year apprenticing license, more snooping was done and Roto-Rooter had to admit to RI authorities that Jay & Grant aren't Roto-Rooter plumbers, after all, who would want to hop in a hot-tub or take a hot shower put in by someone who doesn't even have a license to do so? Can you say "Death by Electrocution for 200, Alex?" Even scarier if they are working with natural gas and electricity! More so than than the FLIR "boogeyman" they caught recently at the Samuel Mudd House, and as you say, I cannot believe they are still pushing that...dang thing can only see solid objects, which I think I heard them mention once or twice over the years. I also have to mention the use of the emf detector...hardly anyone has put together the emf detector vs the MRI machine, KII meter reads in milligauss, MRI uses in the thousands...but no mention of any of the high emf sensitivity symptoms in the paperwork, or from the tech I asked, this would be the ultimate fear cage, and spending over 30 minutes in an electromagnetic field of thousands of gauss, strong enough to see my muscles and tendons in high detail, and I felt nothing. No itching, fear of dread, feeling of someone touching me or watching me, hallucinations, etc. However, there are people who do hallucinate in MRI machines, those with tumors on the brain or serious skull fractures and concussions. Also, those with claustrophobia can get a bit upset, but that's because of the confined space obviously. Possible irritation at tattoo sites where old red ink with lots of ferrous oxide was used, but even that I believe was found at most "plausible" on Mythbusters. That was mentioned on the form, I do have a tattoo, but again, nothing. I see logical, but slightly twisted minds at work here, and I love it! Mme B. and TalkingMongoose, it has been fun, and I hope to have more laughs tomorrow when I look for more follow-ups. But I, like you, after a hopeful start to Ghost Hunters, am very disillusioned with them. They are as you say, Charlatans, I shouldn't even dignify that with a capital C. Keep on Keepin' On!

One error however. The voice they caught was not an EVP, it was a "disembodied voice" which could be heard at the time by everyone present, so the earpiece debunking is moot. Interesting video.
