ayrt(should have put this in the last reply, oops :P).

tbh i think Shane is hindered a little by not knowing much about science/biology himself and thus can't refute Ryan's reaches with actual facts, because i sit there all the time going 'you have no idea how fucky the human brain is do you Ryan?' when he starts talking about how 'impossible' it is for people to hear/see things that aren't there.

i love him but i get annoyed by people who try to pass off their flimsy beliefs as 100% fact.

but yeah they need an actual expert in sometimes because there really is completely rational explanations to most of the 'evidence' they have. that and someone needs to explain how space-travel and FTL actually works to the both of them because yeesh.

exactly! it was probably their best supernatural episode because they were doing what we love best, trying to antagonize ghosts, and it was great fun. the spirit-box is a joke tbh and i have no idea why they keep bringing it out as though it as any scientific credence, it makes noise and sometimes you get partial words if you believe in it hard enough because it always sounds like garbled static to me.

oh yeah the history aspect is what is fun about those episodes, i really enjoy when they dig into it all especially when the suspect pool is so twisty and bonkers.

oh totally, like that case was just, jfc i never knew about it and it sounds like it was horrifying to live-through and ia with your surprise that no ones tried to make that into a movie.

Secret OP (lol are you even still reading this thread IDK)

Well yeah that's kind of the blessing and the curse of the show; they're just two film guys going around to spooky places and discussing crimes. On one hand that makes them really relatable, but at the same time it means they've got some pretty big knowledge gaps particularly related to science. That's why "Damn the wind's strong tonight" is a meme, because there probably are rational/scientific explanations for noises/apparitions but because Shane isn't really versed in psychology/acoustics/engineering/whatever he can't offer viable alternatives to GHOSTIES.


I think they just bring the spirit box along for the sake of views, because the fandom really seems to love how it spews out random shit that can be interpreted as words (APPLE TATERS) and because it's fun to watch Shane get annoyed. I still don't even get how tf it's supposed to work like...it's a glorified radio scanner? And somehow ghosts have the power to manipulate it? This is where having a scientist would come in handy because they could come in and explain exactly how the spirit box works and why it's bullshit.

Seriously you get Josh Brolin as Eliot Ness, Steve Buscemi as Dr. Sweeney, maybe Ed Harris as Martin L. Sweeney that's fucking cinematic gold.
