 Posted: Dec Mon 18, 2006 8:52 am Post subject: Hoax or not? |
 |
|
I was searching the web for any New York chapter of investigative teams and stumbled across these guys. I think they're a hoax.... This picture shows how i think they may be a hoax. Any info you guys know that backs up the truth behind this photo can help me decide whether these guys are a hoax or not.
There was no definition for this pic all it says is "Man walking down stairs."
their site is here. www.newyorkghostchapter.com

Although it's almost impossible to tell. I would have to say this is a flesh and blood man walking down the stairs. He is in motion and a dark spot and the camera shutter spped is slow, which is apparent by the guy in the foreground being blurred.
So I would have to go with hoax or mistake.

This would be cool as hell if it was legit! It's impossible to say either way though.

heh i wish it was legit. But upon further examination of the photo you can see that he has legs and they look to be tan colored pants.

The photo looks surreal in the first place. The angle and perspective is kinda off. What kind of camera was used and was the photographer taking this pic for a different affect than ghosthunting?

Man, these people's site is filled with dust, moisture and breath photos.... What a shock! 
As far as this photo goes though, my best guess would be that someone was getting ready to walk down the stairs and they were backlit (you can see the light shining on the wall), which caused their shadow to cast on the wall.
On the other hand, if they are absolutely certain that no one was upstairs during the time of this photo, they've really got something good here. Personally, I doubt that's the case though....

Yeah i thought that too. Just like how TAPS explained in West V state Penn. Even though they're full of crap they got one thing right.

TAPS was mentioned on the forum.... Aedryan can you turn off those lights and sirens. He won't do it again! LOL
TAPS and all the other weekly show teams are no longer in the research community but have been moved to the entertainment aisle. No one but the truely naive take anything they do as serious.

I wasn't saying that i believe anything they explain. but they didn't screw up in explaining the back-light/hangman theory in that one episode. I don't ever veiw them as anything other then entertainment. And to get a look at the places that i will probably never get to go to do an investigation.
