ghosts on tape

Everyone has heard ghost stories, but what if those stories were true? Hosted by James Coburn, this show investigates some modern ghost tales in which possible evidence of the supernatural has shown up in photographs, audio recordings and on video. Can there be a natural explanation for these phenomena, or are they proof that something is out there?

Originally aired as a Halloween special during in October 2000, the show features "real" investigations of "real" ghosts. It includes Peter James' (the psychic, not the novelist) investigation of the "Polaroid House" ghost from the home in Glendale, California that was built on sacred Indian ground. The ghost communicates by providing answers to questions on Polaroid film for all to witness.

Very good video. I think that before anyone takes an actual stake in the belief of the supernatural, they would require more evidence than yokels with video cameras.

good vid, but i won't vote for it cause i don't believe that it belongs on this collective, sorry

Guess you didn't read the description of TayTV then aaronfr... "Remember TayTV is a media playground. Make great use of the vast internet to make your submissions more informative and interesting."

well, i don't see any links that prove that he made "great use of the vast internet to make [his] submission more informative or interesting". also running down the list of encouraged activities:

- Researching Clips.
- Analyzing Clips.
- Analyzing someone else's clips.
- Posting while Inebriated.
- Questioning Authority.
- Being Skeptical.
- Being Revolutionary.
- Looking at the big picture, looking beyond your borders.
- Having a sense of Humour, having fun
- Being Environmental, appreciating Nature
- Watching the Biggest American Train Wreck: Fox News.
- Providing sources!

it would seem that this submission could (possibly) meet two of those suggestions: posting while inebriated and being skeptical (and that's a stretch on the second one). plus, based on the original mission statement, it does not fall into the categories of politics, philosophy, science, or comedy. i know we cast a pretty wide net with what this collective represents, but i just don't feel ghost stories belongs in there.
