i don’t care if a ghost files episode has compelling evidence or not. it doesn’t even have to be ridiculously hilarious. i’ll find a reason to love it. and it’ll definitely still spook me out and make me look over my shoulders while walking in the basement at night 🤩 i love you guys. thank you for making me smile throughout the years🤩
It’s so important, I think, that Ryan and Shane are unapologetically themselves in Ghost Files, along with all of their other videos. That’s why I followed them from Buzzfeed. Genuine creators are so valuable at a time when a lot of content feels so forced and overly dramatic. Please don’t stop being genuine creators!
Exactly. This is why I watch them and believe them when they actually come across evidence. I don't necessarily believe it's ghosts and there's likely logical explanations for a lot of the evidence, but I know they aren't faking things like other paranormal shows do.
Never expecting you to act any certain way Ryan!!! Do whatever you need to do to feel safe! Love watching you guys run around scary buildings regardless you being scared or not
this makes me sooo excited for ghost files if you can even get shane to say it was bonkers. also ryan, keep your physical and mental health safe. if you need to disassociate to get through something or even bow out entirely, your fans will understand.
Thank you for explaining anxiety so accurately Ryan! I’m a big horror fan and it’s cause I like to know me putting myself in a situation to be scared rather than being scared in life when I can’t do anything about it!
Yo, first time commenter...My favorite show on RU-vid is Ghost Files... You guys are such a good team! 44 year old Marine Corps Veteran, and I blipping love you guys. Prove em wrong Ryan, #Boogara
I love Ryan, love calm Ryan, crazy Ryan, you name it! Even though I'm skeptical and most of the time I know I'm laughing at a person being scared of literal air, I genuinely think he's the bravest man alive because with Shane, I know he doesn't really believe in shit and that plays a lot into how he reacts to creepy stuff but Ryan, my man is out there fighting for his dear fucking life and I really appreciate that commitment. Idk, I just love anything you guys do evidence or not, you're just fun to watch and I wish you the best.
I checked Stonemill Matcha and their website doesn’t show what Steven was talking about 😢 Really hoping they still do the leaf-to-powder process for customers!
OMG I KNOW ABOUT THE GORILLA C-SECTION!!! This happened at the Fort Worth zoo, they did a c-section cause they found out that the mom had preeclampsia and both mom & baby were at risk of losing their lives. It was crazy, the OBGYN is Dr. Jamie Walker Erwin. It was a huge deal it was on the news lol
Yeah, and unfortunately the mother gorilla didn't want to care for the baby so they tried to introduce a surrogate, but that's not working either. So they are sending the baby to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, and hopefully she will integrate into their gorilla troop.
@argentandroid5732 aw she probably has PPD. I know my c-section was very jarring and I didn't feel like I bonded to my son until he was about 6 months. I took care of him nonetheless ofc, but had I been a Gorilla maybe I wouldn't have been able to process what was going on.
I would rather see mellow Ryan than Ryan nearly dying from fear. ❤ Here for the funny banter, not to see someone suffer. That's part of why, even as a full-skeptic, I like that show; Shane is there to keep his frazzled buddy grounded and we get to see them explore fun spots at night, a very interesting perspective on historical places we wouldn't usually get to see!
I didn't start cause of Watcher but I definitely started in my early 30s. 😂 Also, just use the plastic picks if that's the only way you'll floss. You can make up for it in a bunch of other ways (like putting shea butter in a little refillable chapstick tub, not getting so much takeout, not getting takeout utensils or condiments, using reusable grocery bags and water bottles, flying less, etc).
since i haven't seen another comment on this, i went to google and now i can totally understand Ryan being so adamant. the grinder's manufacturer is called Cuzen, and the water filter's is CuZn 😭😭😭
That forest green to jungle green sounds almost like a painter's conversation, like they're discussing the color of the shadow's shade, because certain light or non-existing light and the original color can form a different colored shadow or shade than what it would be if it was brighter. It's possible they were considering painting the scenery of the bar. Me thinking there must be a reason to why someone would care about which color green there would be. It'd be much more interesting if they were painters. Edit: but funnier if they were just talking about colors just to talk about colors, like they were trying to seem deep, intellectual, and sophisticated, when they're not.
Very clever watcher, hyping up a chapter of the next season of ghost files in a podcast and then 12 days later hide said episode behind a paywall, very very clever
Shane, I love that you write down bizarre conversations you overhear in public, because I do this too - if I ever meet you (you won't see this comment but whatevs) I have a real doozy that I took down about ten years ago that is by far the weirdest conversation I have ever heard strangers have, and I think you'd enjoy it.
This was probably the most humanizing moment for Shane. I leave chapsticks around my house and my partner's house, and then I just found 3 in my purse yesterdayday. Normalize having multiple Burt's Bees!
7:00 you can make them tho. I bought a few pounds of beeswax from a local apiary & when my lip balm tubes run out, I refill them. Just beeswax, olive oil, and any other oils of your choice, like essential oil for flavor. Super easy. Saves plastic.
I'm surprised people didn't like Ryan appearing to be unafraid on last season, I enjoyed it a lot! It was something unexpected, those places they go to are creepy af. And even if he is scared he does it anyway, that's a brave person right there and eitherway I'm proud of him :)
Right? I was kind of excited! Like, “hell yeah, Ryan finally hit his stride. This is gonna be good.” The minority is always more vocal than the majority. That probably applies here as well. Those of us who liked the new turn had nothing to complain about.
I don't know, it seemed more genuine in earlier episodes/BuzzFeed where he was scared and made a good balance of one that was not bothered and one that was. When it's 2 that are like 'nah' it's not as interesting to some
@@BB-pw8ko I get that it's not the same effect, but also people can't expect others to not evolve. And he is still very scared sometimes, he just copes with it in a somewhat dismissive way now. Luckily the dynamic still stands strong because Ryan believes in the paranormal and Shane doesn't :) It's just that he won't be overreacting always like some other people in the internet do for the views. I love the early investigations with him jumping at any tiny noise too but idk I also like seeing him acting a bit stoic now
I just wanna say thank you to y'all (Matt, too!) for being a source of comfort for lonely people like myself; having a bit of a rough night and ta-da! Some chill dudes having casual convos to help ground me: who knew that's what anxiety-riddled people needed in the middle of the night 😂
I'm a big horror fan with a diagnosed anxiety disorder, too, and I definitely agree with Ryan about the feeling of it being controlled, but it's definitely a catharsis for me. Like, for six hours of Haunting of Hill House, I can be convinced reality is a joke mask covering a leering, gibbering nightmare face and the world I'm inhabiting agrees with me and uses that to say interesting things. Like, I feel happy in a strange way, watching horror. Like this intangible sensation of looming horror is suddenly something I can confront. It's a kind of fear that's more reassuring than a looming sense that I'm going to let everyone down and the world will collapse if I don't stop it somehow. At least then there's a goddamn ghost to point at and go "THAT-- THAT'S what scares me" instead of having to just sort of gesticulate at everything and go "It feels like it's all going wrong somehow"
It also helps like you mentioned when you know how long something is, like I will only be actively afraid for maybe an hour or two whilst I watch this movie. And it can be even more cathartic when you get to the end of it and realize you're not as afraid about something as you thought you were. Like with Hill House, I realized I wasn't so much afraid of dying as I was afraid of not being able to love those I love anymore, but if dead doesn't mean gone then maybe I can keep loving them, it'll just look different.
I've heard this feeling being described as being able to feel danger without being IN danger. Watching scary movies, sometimes even going on roller-coasters (for that temporary adrenaline), listening/watching to true crime content.
I have diagnosed general anxiety disorder and I'm entirely the opposite. I can't stand horror because I don't want to add _even more_ fear to my life. I avoid anything even remotely stressful like the plague, even if it's meant to be relatively lighthearted like secondhand embarrassment in fiction.
My favorite conversation I ever overheard was at a Thai restaurant. The 50-something man at the table next to me asked the waitress for "some kind of sauce that's not too spicy or sweet" and she offers soy sauce. And then he's like "Oh, what's that taste like?" Man lived into his middle-age without ever hearing of soy sauce.
This would be so great lol. They’d have to describe the stuff for listeners tho, so idk if they would. One of them gets really uptight about this being a PODCAST 😆
Ever since Shane told the cockroach story, now every night when I drink water I double check my glass to make sure a cockroach isn't in it. So thank you for giving my anxious ass a new phobia. Am I alone in this?
I put it on at night to sleep. Just set to low on my phone, under my pillow. One of the few entertaining things that can take my mind off a stressful day/life. Bonus: there’s no random loud/obnoxious noises, so I don’t wake the husband up.
Some context for the “apes lady” there was a big conference in LA for biological anthropologists & a lot of primatologists around this time! I imagine it was one of the scientists :)
God, why is Ryan’s answers to “what can’t you live without” so relatable 😂😂. Like, yes, Burt’s bees (I do what Shane does and have them everywhere), but also, all the things Ryan said. All of them. And the routine all or nothing thing.
Stonemill Matcha!! 🥰 Edit: My coffee maker also has a timer (waking up to the smell of coffee is the best!) but I didn't know that the timer resets when there is a power outage, so that is how I ended up with freshly brewed coffee at midnight.
Interesting to find out about Ryan's anxiety mixed with his ghost hunting. I never would have thought that he always seems scared but for the most part really level headed in the face of something hes scared of. I'd be scared to walk around some creepy place in the dark too, not cuz ghosts but like maybe tripping and impaling myself on a piece of rebar or such.... Like you see dudes on youtube hunting ghosts and they scream when they hear a drippy pipe. Ghoul Boys do good.
Like Ryan, I have a complete inability to form routines.... So it took me a while to think of something I actually use daily. BUT I for sure couldn't live without just an unreal amount of notebooks/pads/sticky notes. I gotta have something to write on nearby at ALL TIMES. No the notes app doesn't count! I need that tactile feel, a physical object that will remind me it's there to be used. I have notebooks of various sizes so that I can always bring one with me, I have three different forms of paper next to my computer just in case (and that's not even taking into account the drawers...). And the thing is, I use all of them, consistently. I couldn't live without paper sounds like a copout answer though lol
I think ghost files is also at it's best when in a fairly uneventful episode, Shane is nerding out about the history of the area or building while Ryan is scared and trying to set up a full-on paranormal investigation.
I was obsessed with Burts bees for years until one day I started getting these hard little bumps on my lips. Apparently some people get developed an allergy to beeswax due to over exposure. Just keep an eye out peeps
Nah, put the dead air. People are watching you because its the only trustworthy ghost show. We want the reality of you guys walking in a haunted place. If its just dead air then show the dead air, thats the entire point.
Ok.. Shane... Burts Bees is one of the worst chap sticks i've ever used.. I started using the regular chapstick stuff.. works way better. And if you have SUPER bad lips, the Aquaphor stuff is really good too
Shane truly has a way with words- the way he can make a regular wall conversation sound hilarious and keep his friends hooked on it. It's good that he does Puppet History cause he could be a stand up comedian if there was no Watcher.
I think it’d be cool if you had me on the pod. I’m not famous, special, or even particularly interesting, I’m just a guy. A podcast episode with just a guy
Honestly the Estes method is one of the worst I feel. You can’t prove what that person is hearing, they could be making up absolutely everything and you wouldn’t know. Putting in audio that who is under is hearing could easily also be faked because it’s a simple overlay of audio.
