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.
