One time my declawed (not by us) cat brought home a leaf as a gift, to match her clawed companion's dead rodent from the woods. I now realize that must have been a powerful ghostly entity she had defeated.
Dude! I had a cat with claws who would constantly bring leaves inside. We had no idea why, but we were really glad it wasn't animals. She must have been a ghost slayer.
@@StarBlue42 They say cats bring dead animals as a gift because they think their owners are incompetent hunters, so yours probably though you were an incompetent vegan who couldn't even hunt a salad on your own. 😂
"The following tale you're about to hear... is true. And by 'true,' I mean false. It's all lies, but they're entertaining lies. And in the end, isn't that the real truth? The answer is no." -Sir Leonard Nimoy (Was he a "Sir?" He should've been a "Sir." Get on that, Charles.)
When I saw that plant rhythmically swaying back and forth, I thought it might be an Earth spirit tormented by urbanization, that is to say, a metro-gnome. Your assurance that it was just foliage filled me with re-leaf.
The thing I love most about these kinds of shows is they basically have to play dumb and pretend Davinci resolve and Blender don't exist. Also, they live in a world where we all haven't had HD image stabilized cameras that can shoot high quality footage on a whim in are pockets for the last 5-10 years. It's crazy how ghosts, bigfoot and aliens only ever seem to get caught by terrible security cameras, people shooting on 20+ year old cameras or folks using the lowest quality option in their phone with image stabilization turned off.
Sort of like how the number of UFOs detected by radar dropped dramatically in the early 1970s when improved radar technology was able to eliminate false echoes.
MY theory is that the leaf was actually bigfoot's friend and agreed to shake back and forth to distract a couple of dopes, while bigfoot snuck by behind them.
As a child I grew up in a 100+ year old house in a historical section of my town. I've seen many shadow figures and heard disembodied voices speak to me. That being said nothing could prepare me for seeing that leaf.
8:08 the green bottles are obviously full of ectoplasm. Back in the day, when I worked in an office over an ancient indian battleground, me and the boys had to scoop up any ectoplasm we had lying around in empty plastic bottles. That's how we invented Mountain Dew.
EDIT: ROFL! I wrote my comment before finishing the video, and the video of the ground breathing I referenced in my comment is straight up shown in the episode!! Now I'm a believer! I'm pretty sceptical about any of this sort of things, but I don't mind people believing in the paranormal, it's interesting even if you don't believe it... HOWEVER, what completely grinds my gear is when there's an extremely obvious explanation, but they'll still insist it's supernatural. Like a few years ago, there was footage taken in Quebec Canada where the ground was seen "beathing" and people lost their freakin' mind. It looked this way because it was a pretty windy day and the trees in the area had grown on top of rock beds, so the heavy network of roots would lift from the ground when the wind blew and the trees bent, but rabid paranormal fanatics were quick to call this "lies" and the people offering this explanation "sellouts" (sellouts to whom?? the people in charge of hidding that the ground breathes?! like, really??). Completely nuts.
Look, sometimes watching spooky amateur footage can be fun, like especially weird stuff like dogs randomly barking at absolutely nothing in a room, or things moving around in a multi-hour timelapse. It might not be real, but it's fun. There's a little bit of mystery behind it. Locust swarms and a waving leaf??? This production company isn't even trying to try.
That shadow person was garbage.I also think it can be neat to watch creepy security camera footage, but I could see the artifacting on that 'special effect' from space.
For real though, locusts are so cool! Grasshopper parents sense the oncoming swarm and have offspring that are morphologically different than themselves. It's an amazing process that we don't yet know everything about, so clearly it's ghosts
Leaf doesn't seem so much angry as just overtly excited to meet them. And the whole Skinwalker thing is just like... it's clearly just a regular animal you ain't fooling anyone.
Every time you two are together in a video together, I just end up smiling through the whole thing. I could watch you riff on anything! Also, don't make fun of the Leaf Couple! This is how The Happening starts! The leaves are very angry! :)
'IVE GOT A GHOST ON TAPE! A REAL GHOST! Now should I sent it to some scientists or government officials to prove there is an after life and get world wide fame? NO! Ill send it to some overly dramatized TV show so they can do a 3 minute segment and interview me!"
Remind me of the Bigfoot Girl documentary, Allison reviewed a while back... In the sense that Bigfoot Girl was as present in her movie as paranormal was present in this ghost show.
I thought I saw a ghost once and just ignored it because I knew it was just in my head and it was scary. But I kept seeing it in that spot so I got a classer look and realized it was an ad on the wall at the corner of my eye
We never see the bottom of the leaf’s stem. There’s probably a raccoon down there wiggling it back and forth and thinking “Theeese huuuumanss are sooooo stuuuuupid!”
Every time Bigfoot comes up, I think of the meme that compares a map of Bigfoot sightings and another map of fursuit owners. They looked like the same map.
9:05 They've tied a string to one of the casters on the chair. You can see it's being pulled by one specific leg. Oh, I didn't even see the "shadow person" until Phelan pointed it out because I was focused on how obvious it was that it was being pulled by a string.
You're right! You can tell it was on her left leg because it doesn't leave the chair! When she stands up, she's also very careful to not move her left leg, as well.
11:00 - "If you look closely, you can see where we removed the guy pulling the chair from the footage by adding another layer of the still room to it" :P
Yay! The Let’s Riffs have returned…….ish! Always loved these style of videos (including the 2 that are sadly missing that I hope are re-uploaded). The commentary from you two is so funny & entertaining. I hope to see more like perhaps that Big Rock Candy Mountain would be a blast to revisit. In either case, this was a real treat to see before Halloween. ^-^
Crop circles don't usually pop up just before harvest. "Crop" circles are almost all found in fields that are fallow for the year. Like they aren't actually in crops, they're in like switchgrass or whatnot
From about 2005-10, give or take, I did my best to follow all the ghost hunting shows, every episode. I was trying to accumulate all the folklore of it, including anything that might be genuine or sincere, as well as how TV producers were framing it. Got a ton of laughs out of it, and more interesting information than I would've expected. But with more and more shows, following the same format, getting more and more shrill in their sensationalism, I blew right by the point of diminishing returns some time before giving up 😂
This was hilarious. I'd love to see you two riffing on more silly paranormal content. (You can see the wire that's sticking the demon leaf into the ground ffs!!!)
I think far more entertaining than these shows themselves would be a The Office style sitcom about the production company that has to make these kinds of stupid programs. Having to go through the submitted footage and desperately figure out how to make content from it, and the behind the scene dealing with the weird on camera personalities.
The funny thing about the Sasquatch is that it reminds me of an actual animal - an extinct giant ape called Gigantopithecus that lived high in the mountains and whose footprints and fossil bones may have inspired the myth of the yeti.
Thing is, we don't have anything but two jaws and dozens of teeth. I've been obsessed with that species since high school and it's frustratingly scanty. We can't even agree how big it was- it might have been 300 to 1,000 lbs. All we know is what it ate, where it lived, and that it was close cousin to the Orangutan
I didn't even notice the "shadow person" when the person in the char was moved. I noticed that the base with the 5 wheels rotated first before the chair started moving. Almost as if someone pulled on some fishing wire tied to one of the wheels.
My 3 spooky experiences: 1.My bedroom door hard slamming out of nowhere. This was back when we didn't have AC and commonly left the windows open 2.Walking around a public campground at night and a group of people mistaking me and a friend as ghosts (we kept quiet and in the shadows to aid the fun.) 3. A genuinely terrifying experience that really messed with my head until I learned that sleep paralysis was a thing years later.
Hmmmm...when I was a kid I visited my family in Canada. One time we had to pull off the highway because of a locust swarm. Leaf and Locust connection confirmed!
There's a kind of desperation to all the people in these videos. They so want the paranormal to be real that they're bending over backwards to fall for every obvious hoax and fraud that comes their way. It's just sort of sad when you get right down to it.
@@AllisonPregler Woah! You guys got Married!! I didn’t know, I stopped watching you guys after the hilarious Food Fight review. 😞 Still, happy to see you guys still together, honest.
The "Haunted" Leaf reminds me of the time Squidward thought he heard SpongeBob outside but it was a branch blowing in the wind and scraping up against his house.
As someone who studies, and is fascinated by the paranormal and occultism, from what I have learnt, the whole belief that oujia boards, or rather spirit boards, channel evil spirits and 'demons' comes from religious paranoia after horror films such as 'The Exorcist', which was claimed to based on 'true events', popularlied that idea. Originaly, they were used for purely fortune telling games, such as learning who you're future spouse was, and the name 'Oujia' was created by Milton Bradley as a version of a 'trademark named' spirit board, claiming that they got the name by combining the French and German words for 'yes', after asking the board what it wanted to be called. 😏
