Mabel

I've watch what apparently seems to be a collection of videos about a haunting at a house by a ghost dubbed "Mabel" and at first I was skeptical about it. Because anyone with a digital camcorder and video editing software can make a good "ghost video" nowanddays, but I'm actually intrigued by this.

Don't you dare move out on Mabel! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCXJ6zU0mAk)
Pantry examined IE Breaking and Entering (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXSMf-t8H6w)

I wish I could find this house and examined it myself, to see if this Mabel ghost is real or if it's very good special effect.

So, real ghost or really good video editing?

There's one more video that I just now found.

Mabel likes to play hide and seek. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqknGn6kgIA)

Look towards the dresser at the 3:08 mark.

ghosts aren't real.

if you want me to believe something it has to make some sort of logical sense first :wink:

I dunno, it does seem to warrant some serious investigation.

No, it really doesn't. The hammy acting? The obviously fake special effects? Come on dude, stop lying to yourself. It's pathetic.

it takes too long to watch them all. i watched "mabel in pantry 2" and it was not proof of anything.

which one did you find the most compelling?

We understand enough about physics and specifically the laws of thermodynamics to know ghosts are impossible.

Did you happen to look at the video response to your first link?

Much more reasonable explanation.

Do those toys look more like sex aids than kids toys to anyone else, or am I just seeing too much?

True, however this particular one was debunked was it not?

Um.....on the mabel in the pantry 2 they say it's 12:34 in January and then in mabel in the pantry 3 it's September it's also 12:34, so like......does the ghost adhere to daylight savings time....or like what?

Found your explanation:
People who drink too much coffee could start seeing ghosts or hearing strange voices

lay off the coffee, Wil.

Why not start? Might explain your seeing ghosts then. ;)

Just because you can't explain it, doesn't mean it can't be explained.

Ghosts are a pigment of your imagination (you have a very colourful imagination, Wilgrove ;))

Do we? How so, please explain.
