Sorry Skeptics . . . This One's Real

One major problem skeptics seem to have with investigative evidence is that fact that some videos and photos appear to have been tampered with.  While it is impossible to say that every video documenting the existence of paranormal entities is legitimate, it would also be incorrect to say that none of them are. 

In an earlier post, The Proof Is In The Tapes, I showed a video clip from an episode of ghost hunters.  In the clip, a brick goes flying across a room after the TAPS investigative team asks for proof that there is an entity present.  If you read the comments on the video, many skeptics claim that the video had to have been tampered with.  Here is the video, again:

In this next video, a professional video analyst takes a look at the clip to see if it had been edited in any way.  After investigating several theories, the analyst give his opinion that the video WAS NOT tampered with in any way.  The analyst provides further explanation in the video:

There you have it, the video was not tampered with, and the brick was, in fact, thrown by something unexplainable. 

Many times, pictures of ghosts are also said to be photoshopped or edited.  This website is extremely helpful in this matter.  It has two categories of pictures - one in which there is no explanation for the orbs or figures in the photo, and one for which there is.  There is also an explanation of how the picture was edited, and how to tell whether a figure in a photo is a result of dust on the lens or if it is an actual entity.

This one photo, in particular, caught my eye.  It was in the real column on the website.  If you look closely, you are actually able to see a face in the figure.

Check out some of the other pictures for yourself, and read the explanations of how the pictures couldn't have been tampered with.
