The Manchester Poltergeist DEBUNKED

The Manchester Poltergeist DEBUNKED
This is a video about The Manchester Poltergeist, which I debunked as a fake!

I CREATED A VIDEO REVISITING THIS, USING BETTER EVIDENCE AND MORE IN-DEPTH EXPLANATIONS.

it's kinda strange that things supposedly moved by a paranormal force always move in one direction and don't switch it

All I can say as a manufacturer of CCTV camera systems for over 15 years is that it's most likely faked. Not necessarily quality wise since high quality systems exist (we among others make such) however no systems with this quality is "switcher based". What I mean with that is that you don't "flip around" among the cameras. In stead, ALL CCTV systems after 2005 recorded all the cameras at the same time, even small £100 systems. That's the point. Nothing should be missed just because someone "looked at the wrong camera". Therefore the time code in this video make little sense. To make this video, the person have to convert each cameras video into standard video format to be edited in an video editing software. Therefore it makes no sense to have a "continued" time code. Also, the time code is not part of the "water mark" of the video as it should be in real CCTV video, instead it have been "added" afterwords together with camera name and site name. So, not to claim anything about poltergeists but this video is not what is claim to be, hence it's most likely faked "all the way", even the effects but granted, it is very well done and unless you make CCTV systems or are a skilled Ghost Hunter, it will fool most people.

I think you did a very good job catching that moving background and the shadow on the desk! it's really nice to see people looking at things critically :) I'm looking forward to more of these.

unfortunately you did NOT 'debunk' this footage no matter how much you claim to have done so at all


 let's start with the electrical static activity on the monitor showing some kind of 'force' charging the video screen with electricity hence why they all flash when the 'force' gets more intense in the office, let's talk about that door closer when that door swings open and slams shut for example, those door closers are very difficult to swing open that fast, the more force you exert on the door the harder the closer resists, to prevent slamming...whatever the force was that opened that door was pretty strong, it effortlessly swung it open and closed with ease...


 the chairs moving around showed no signs of people pushing them or strings pulling them, the file folders flipping out like that also showed no strings or any means of throwing the papers out of their place, the drawers opening and closing are inexplicable no matter how you try to, those 'glitches you showed' were just that, it happens with recordings sometimes, not a result of editing the footage, I've had similar things happen like that with my security cam footage at home


plus, this is a place of business, who in the hell would risk getting fired by 'faking all this, those papers are important to someone and can't just be thrown around without your ass getting fired the next day for such shenanigans and 'publicity'?? that's what you hire a 'publicity firm' for not create a hoax and put it up on youtube where a handful of people may or may not see it...that's no way to advertise for more business for your firm...


what happened here was exactly what it looked like --- a disturbance of unknown origins recorded on high definition cameras simple as that

[DucksAhoy]

The shifting background on the cabinets was a really good find. Good Eye!

[ffffqqesxg]

That’s it? You pointed out a few frames? You didn’t debunk anything

[AL-mmvq]

I never thought a company would also install audio recording.... strange right?

[gweiloxiu]

I work with CCTV/IP A LOT as a part of my profession, so the first thing that pops out to me as a red flag for a fake is the nature of a given piece of cctv footage. This might spoil some of the fun of some paranormal videos for some people so read at your own discretion.

I think the footage in this video is faked for the following cctv based reasons:

Mainly money
1. There is clear audio. Most real cctv (in a business or public environment) does NOT have audio. There are so many places that have very strict laws regarding the recording of audio that it generally is not worth the legal hassle, and so the majority of cctv cameras don't have audio and those that do almost always have it turned off because audio requires more storage space on the dvr which means more $$$. Cameras that regard audio are also more expensive. So legal expense, camera expense, dvr and related expenses for audio cctv almost always don't make it worth having. So #1 audio cameras, legal, dvr = $

2. The green "look it's real cctv!" shading. That is supposed to look like low light vision. Low light = more $

3. The high fps = even more $.

All of that money for what? To monitor a life insurance office?

Aside from the money there are other reasons. The video above if it's real is a straight rip. You are almost never going to see a straight rip from any cctv online unless it is from someones house. Businesses and other institutions only release cctv footage to the outside when legally required to do so. What you will see online is someones cell phone video of a screen showing the cctv footage. Because a security guard or employee is filming it because they are blown away by what they see and feel the need to upload it. It's true for paranormal videos, car accidents, anything crazy.

3:55 - If it wasn't there originally, the building's location has now been added. Here's the description: "During the early hours of 1st November 2012, security staff monitoring
CCTV at an office in Castlefield House on Liverpool Road, Manchester,
witnessed a harrowing chain of events. This is the actual footage seen
by those security guards as they flicked from camera to camera."

[terratec]

Great debunk.
Also, the office & corridors have plenty of lights on so there would be no need for "night vision".

[RandomGerman]

Click bait warning. He debunks nothing and just points out his opinion on a few things that look weird in the video. Ofcourse they look weird, a ghost is doing things.

[tahirissa]

why would a company advertise when the building is haunted. I surely wouldn't go to this place

[BigGaz]

I uploaded a video 2 years ago debunking it. I put it in my editor and analyzed it frame by frame and believe I know how it was done

[thewolfpack]

A part of the video where it’s he camera that caught the first chair moving, at some point there is a patch of light, and then it disappeared, could a man in black be hiding in the shadow and pushing out the chairs?

[ظ́ظ-بط]

In the original video there's one almost unnoticeable mistake that fails the whole video. When the monitors are blinking no light or any kind of glowing reflect from the tables.

[IAmLeviticusT]

Never mind the activity in the video. That's not going to tell you very much at all about it being fake or not. It's the editing that gives it away. The running timecode under the date shouldn't be so fluid. Security cams can be programmed for a main screen to record activity, but we can see this was spliced together to show where the most interesting activity was taking place. If post production splicing is what was done, the timecode wouldn't be perfect unless someone was paying more attention to it than the activity. If the timecode was added after the fact, then let's see the original timecode. That would tell us everything we need to know.

[ProjectLiquid]

Alright, let's just say for the sake of the argument a poltergeist could have tied strings to office chairs and pull them around, threw sheets of paper around, messed with door handles etc for what reason ever, then it would be pretty likely the monitor interference was caused by the poltergeist as well, right?



FAQ - this took like 5 mins with google - no, I don't care if you believe in a god/ghosts or flying cows - yes everything +ScareMe proposed was undeniably correct, but motive often tells you more than visual evidence - yes, I work in marketing & no, I'm not going to reply to your insult, thx for playing

PS - good job +ScareMe +Peyton Wilson +Pete Ainsworth +johanacquris +P. de W. & everyone using their brains
PSPS - I'm not going to proofreading this, it's late and this is just entertainment so spare me the spelling corrections

:3 take care & stay awesome ♥

[vinardokie]

have you noticed that in the original footage at 4:35, the air freshener indicator blinks faster. the video was sped up

[BethInAK]

in the above video, as in the original, I saw another anomaly: in 1:09, in the room with the fake staticky computers - look at the row of desks closest to the camera. The middle desk has something sticking out of the right hand front, right in front of the papers. . That thing disappears in frame 1:11. Its there in 1:10 and gone in 1:11. See it, anyone?
