Captain Disillusion debunks that gas station blue ghost

Hahaha, not bad.


I like his show. It's kind of light hearted as if it were targeted towards kids, but still funny. More here.

Right, but then says voiceovers things like "I'm being exploited for shallow sensationalist bull****!" and "I feel like a complete whore and I'm going to go kill myself now.

I called this back in November. ;) And kyle made it funny:

The video is hilarious.

Looking back on that thread, Freelancer, I can't help but realize how delusional Sarn was. Sorry man, but you were pulling facts out of nowhere. It was always a video. No one ever saw the actual "ghost" itself. Only the video.

It was a bug.

the article I originally read said that there were witnesses that said they actually saw it..

also the witnesses in the video seems to imply that they saw it for real too.

Still doesn't look like a bug to me. It's not shaped like a bug, it doesn't have a solid mass (you can see right through it at it's thickest spot), and it's blue.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Maybe because the reporter fails at his/her job?

Seeing through it can be attributed to blurring, and the color from the light of the surrounding area


or its an alien

Maybe they just witnessed the video.

The fact that you can 'see through it' is simply because of how cameras work.

Witnesses to the video screen. It refers to them witnessing the "image" of it. :/

Honestly though I want to meet one of these people that thinks a fuzzy blue thing on a gas station security camera video is definitive proof of the existence of angels/ghosts/whatever, and ask them "what the f*** is wrong with your brain?"

I like the guy. But his makeup on his face kinda bothers me for some reason. I know that his thing about being "Captain Disillusion" but still.

first of all there was no doubt in y ind that it wasnt a ghost or whatever because a) its 19 action news, the local sensationalist station, and b) it happened in para, and every one fro the cleveland area knows theres nothing interesting in para.

right eon?

also, this guy is awesoe.

its just acting up on me. sometimes it works, other times not. i just didnt notice this time. weird because i've never spilled any liquid on this keyboard. took the key out and cleaned under there, and still its intermittant. has nothing to do with how hard i press the key either.

My first reaction when I watched the blue "ghost" video was that it looked like an out-of-focus blue plastic grocery bag blowing around.

Digital cameras without infrared filters (most security cameras) that have infrared LEDs (many security cameras) get that blue tint on close, dark colored objects. It's not light reflecting off of a blue wall, or whatever Captain Disillusion said.

the thing that makes this video FAIL is that Captain Disillusion did *not* test his theory. Ok, that's what it is? a bug on the lens? Prove it. Show us how a bug on the lens can look like that. Instead he just was like "It's obviously a bug on the lens. You guys that think it's an angel or ghost or whatever, are clearly retarded. MYSTERY DEBUNKED!"

To be completely fair, you don't have to actually test anything to be able to assert without a doubt that anyone who thinks its a ghost or angel is retarded.

No, he did not prove it was a bug. He merely offered a far more likely alternative. You did not prove it was a ghost, either. Let's try occam's razor here. Bug on the lense or ghost. Bug wins. You lose.

I still favor the edited footage/hoax theory, but bug beats ghost any day.

I never said it wasn't a bug. But look at what he's claiming.. He claims to be debunking it. he's not. To debunk something you have to prove it's inaccuracy. He hasn't proved anything. Merely made fun of the people that claimed it was a ghost.

I met an angel this morning. He gave me the finger, smashed my windshield, kicked my *** and stole my wallet.
