And [3] - there is a LOT more 'evidence' for the various flavors of religion than there is for ghosts.

Video material of this kind should be posted with appropriate analysis, commentary, background information etc., so that a discussion can be had. Mere cutting and pasting of content from youtube is not allowed.

I see a couple of hikers with backpacks walking through the bushes.
What's ghostly about this?
I also see a telltale lack of verifiable data about this incident - the date is simply a year. The location is simply a region. Nicely impossible to follow up on.
Maybe there's more to this incident documented elsewhere, but this video is a dismal accounting of the event.

Not floating up in the trees like that. There's a little thing called gravity.
DaveC426913

They're walking up a hill. A little thing called terrain.
If only there were some way of verifying what the landscape looked like at that location. Pity there's no way to do that.

Nope. No hill. Just trees and the ground.

Making stuff up I see.
You have absolutely no basis for declaring there's no hill there.
In fact, we know the terrain rises in the distance because there's no sky - the canopy is off the top of the image.

The woman herself says they're up in the trees. She would know if there's a hill there.
DaveC426913
Valued Senior Member
No she wouldn't.
Again, it;s such a pity the producers didn't see fit to provide any actual location data that could be used to verify the terrain. I wonder why these producers - who are supposedly interested in documenting incidents - didn't bother to document the incident...

Liar. Now you're just making shit up.

That's a personal attack.
I'm analyzing a video, and you just called me a liar.
I guess this is where I shout desperate, competitive, arguer, get a life?
Hypocrite.
Anyway, back on-topic.
It would only have to be about six feet to look like that.
We know there's a rise in the terrain. We're looking at it.
This is no more interesting than a couple of backpackers switchbacking up a trail.
This is the best evidence you've got???

It's not for skeptics. I already know you'll just deny it. This for the people out there who really want to know the truth..
Will-O'-Wisp!

Huh. And just a few posts ago, you were screaming about 'not being biased', and 'going on the evidence'.
Fact: here's the track of the backpackers:

LOL So what? Still no hill.

If your "best evidence" is 'there's no way a bunch of backpackers could possibly encounter a six foot rise in terrain in a heavily-forested area', you are making a fool of yourself better than I ever could.
There's nothing even remotely evidential of weird activity here.
Next.

Nope. The woman there confirmed them floating in the trees. Backpackers don't do that.
DaveC426913

What an idiot.

Sounds like an ad hom. You do know backpackers don't hike at night in the dark don't you? Too easy to trip and fall.

Actually, I take that back.
To be an idiot, you would have to be sincere in your belief that skepticism has no place in ghost hunting.
And you're not sincere in that. You know perfectly well that skepticism is required for objective analysis (even if its not required for TV shows).
You also know perfectly well that there is nothing out of the ordinary in this footage.
What you are is a troll. You know perfectly well that the things you are saying are ridiculous. Your motive is to get a rise, and you're not above trolling to get it.
I'd suggest we get back on-topic, but there's nothing here to discuss. You've posted a video of some people seeing some backpackers.
Your next submission will be even more preposterous.
