Debunking the Scariest Viral Ghost Videos of 2023

And of course by "debunking" what I really mean is that we will watch the videos and attempt to find a rational explanation for what happened, since formally debunking a ghost video isn't always possible when it's only twenty seconds long and is incredibly grainy with no details to analyze, but the thing about YouTube is that titling your video "Attempting to find a rational explanation for ghost videos" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, while "Debunking ghost videos" gets the point across much quicker, so unfortunately we're just stuck with using shorthand language and you're just going to have to deal with it. Thanks for watching!

Not a paramedic but I'm an ER nurse, and I can tell you absolutely 100% it is not at all common practice to film transfers/transports/anything in a hospital. Why, you may ask? Because it's freaking illegal as all hell; blatant violation of HIPAA, the federal law that says patient information must be guarded at all times. If that video were legit, that dude would be fired at a minimum and could face 10 years in jail and a $100k fine if the court really wanted to make an example of him.

Also, I think that font is called 'cumic sans'

[convictartist]

I like how the defenders say "you're left to make up your own mind!" and yet they get incredibly mad when someone thinks it's fake. "you can have any horse as long as it's the black one" type energy

[nightknight]

I can't believe there's an actual ghost in John's closet. This changes everything

[JonBrownSherman]

I can confirm that I regularly film patients moving around the hospital as a matter of protocol.

I don't work there and the police said that I'll be charged next time but that won't stop me!

[athenaryals]

Paramedic here. No, we don't film transfers. Not only is it not common, it's illegal.

[devildog]

The amount of respect I have for John Wolfe is immeasurable. He filmed a spooky ghost video home alone all by himself with nobody behind the door, and then debunked himself! What a chadwick.

[younger]

Most clips are debunked in my mind by the simple fact that "Wow, sure was lucky you had your camera out and ready for SOME reason right before all the spooky stuff started."

[donovian]

If I was at a party and someone started filming and saying "Tonight is going to go well." I am immediately exiting the nearest door/window

[kinoate]

You're not debunking the amount of respect I have for John Wolfe

[danielj.nickolas]

My favorite part of these ghost videos with John isn’t the debunking (which is fun), it’s John openly and passionately advocating for rational thinking.

[suavewolf]

Wow, I had no idea John has been living in a haunted house this whole time. The amount of respect I have for him is immeasurable.

[cliffjumper]

Honestly the original video of Ethan's Tiktok video, is scary without adding in a scream. The fact that all the insects, birds, and wind stops, and before the silence, a lone cricket is heard still chirping. That is hella unsettling

[antihero]

The amount of John Wolfe I have for immeasurable is respect.

[lebunnylapin]

Funny how they ask for "Irrefutable proof" that the videos are fake, but they don't need "Irrefutable proof" that the videos are real to go around claiming that they are real...
And honestly, John DOES debunk a lot of them.

[Argacyan]

The burden of proof being demanded much higher on the criticism than on the ghost video making the claim is something I so hate, cause I also see it being done elsewhere constantly.

[neonsashimidream]

Normally I'd say "don't waste time on the haters" and all of that, but I have to say, despite the sarcasm, it was refreshing to see you treating the mad commenters as human beings and validating their perspectives and feelings by taking them seriously enough to walk through them and explain the flaws in thinking behind them. Man, I'm trying really hard to be positive but I don't think I quite pulled that off

[keithheinz]

The amount of respect I have for John Wolfe is immeasurable.

[TheSideEyeGuy]

Mate, no matter how much proof you show in your debunks, there will always be ghost-hunting fanboys/fangirls saying you've debunked nothing. I get this ALL THE TIME. You're doing so great. Love your videos

[LaCidiana]

The other thing that strikes me about the cop footage (along with the thousand things already mentioned) is the fact that the cop doesn't IMMEDIATELY check behind the door as soon as he enters each room. A cop is going to be looking for immediate threats, and in this case that would logically be behind the door since the door MOVED.

[ryckXattack]

Hey! I'm a paramedic! And no, we absolutely do not film patients because that is illegal.

I also worked as a SWAT medic and they absolutely do turn on lights. That Axon bodycam timestamp is easy to overlay, and the way that "officer" holds his flashlight and pistol is amateur, as well as the fact that he fails to clear every room he enters.
