Paranormal Activity… BULLSHIT!!!
XDD… but if you can rip off stupid people, why not?
Why would you call these scam artists?? all you need are a couple of meddling kids and their dog to solve the mystery ;)
How does this remind me of SOS Brigade… xD
@Goldencrates Molly rules more.
em What The Fudge? Someone actually pays these guys to do that? Plain stupid!!
& gay
I dont like heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer xD
I only watch molly (:
I thought RB dealt in facts?
I’m sorry, but this is total BS. The video was well done though. :P
Wow, how stupid can you get!
Ok, I have to revoke my statement. The frequenzy meter and electromagnetic field meter make sense.
b-b-b-bullshit!!!!
ghost = money
@kluyulira
Have you read the book where they investigate ghost rumours?
You could see Ella was hooked the minute he got out his voltage meter.;)
Really disappointed with Rocketboom this time. No critical questions asked.
so did I… almost makes me want to unsub…
GHOST BUSTERS!
Maybe I should look into becoming a ghost buster, it seems like enough people believe in paranormal stuff that anyone can make money from it.
What is this BS? Rocketboom is suppose to be smart… :(
Lmfao, they investigate paranoia! xD
/sigh. Stick to know your meme and molly. Molly is 50x better than this shit.
Money busters!
Where’s Bill Murray?
Important note: Paranormal NYC conducts all of its investigations free of charge. So ghost hunting isn’t quite the lucrative career path it seems!
what does this guy do for a living?
Ella Morton: Paranormal NYC conducts all of its investigations free of charge. So ghost hunting isn’t quite the lucrative career path it seems!
Obviously Ella doesn’t realise how paranormal business (and quackery, generally speaking) works. You have to charge at the right time and not when you are building your reputation of serious, unbiased and disinterested researcher.

On July 26, 2009 at 3 pm, Sturges Paranormal is please to announce a lecture being given by Dom Villella of Paranormal Investigation of NYC. The price for this lecture is $20 at the door but you can save a couple of bucks by paying $15 in advance (via paypal) when you RSVP.
Regardless, I still like Ella and I’m ready to give her very confidential tips on skeptical enquiry. Free of charge.
At least the guy is realistic and didn’t evade questions
High EM causes people to have halucinations? Why don’t you halucinate every time you talk on your cell phone? That’s some pretty strong EM.
Natural EM meter? The only way to tell if EM fields are man made or natural, is because the man made ones generally have patterns. Other then that, the effects are the same.
Alarm clocks giving strong EM? Your usual alarm clock is powered by an AA battery, giving only a few watts of power… nowhere near enough to cause strong EM.
@ellamorton That’s nice to hear, but I think most paranormal investigators just take advantage of desperate people who are looking for answers to questions concerning their loved ones.
Once in a while it’s good to look at what other people believe, not matter how crazy they may be.
I was willing to hear what the guy had to say. That was until he said what he said about mediums; That just made me face palm. 95% if not all mediums are fakers and lairs.
“This will not pick up man-made electricity”
That incredibly stupid sentence made me LOL.
0:33 i see it’s a booming business
True. I became a medium for a summer job one time.
I have a massive book by Hans Holzer, simply called GHOSTS, and most of the hauntings he investigated involved a medium. They have these detailed dialogs between them and the…spirits. A little too detailed to be believed, sometimes.
I’m a skeptic, but what I like most about ghost stories is the history involved.
I’ll uh…stop talking now.
very cool
-ebay babe
The guy sure is interested in the stuff but sure doesn’t seem to have all his facts straight, although this could just be him skimming over or not fully explaining stuff due to an on-the-spot interview, but he also doesn’t seem too much skeptical, which isn’t really a wise thing to do when you’re a Paranormal Investigator.
Also I just found out about the making of the third Ghostbusters movie today, so I found this pretty funny. Hope the movie won’t suck!
I’ve always wondered what the difference was between “man-made EMFs” and “natural EMFs…”
I dunno, the guy wants proof about paranormal activity, and is interested in finding conclusive evidence. I totally respect what he’s trying to do, but why is he using a “medium” if he wants conclusive evidence? Anyone can just say, “I feel a presence here!” and pretend to “read” the ghostly presence. Of course, I guess one could also argue that video footage can be edited as well….
Eh, at least this guy rules out the most common causes instead of exploit people overlooking common causes to paranormal stuff. Plus, he’s honest that he’s never found any concrete evidence of paranormal activity… which is weird cuz how is this guy making money?
paranormal = garbage
Rocketboom is very diverse, it doesn’t hurt to know stuff that’s going on around the world.
well that’s just silly. garbage is not made out of ghosts.
nerd ghost busters with low-tec gadgets are so last ‘09 !!
When I see Ella smile, I hear Elmo singing “La-la la-la, la-la la-la, Ella’s wooorld” :-)
Immediately followed by OM-NOM-NOM-NOM. That’s Ella eating a cookie, as taught by the Cookie Monster himself!
Ella does the best interviews, I swear! :D
I wasn’t surprised that he admitted to never have found a real proof, because it’d be easy to disprove him. but I really was surprised that he said some of this paranormal stuff is actually plain normal. he might as well just pull superstitious people’s money outta their pockets^^
Ella, I’m a student studying to become an engineer. And one of the things I study is quantum physics. It’s a useful tool that provides us with many explanations and answers, if you take the time to understand it.
If I learned anything, is that energy in the universe is never lost, it only circulates. And humans are made of energy and matter. I’d have to say that anything is possible.
As Richard Feynmann said: “Nature’s imagination is so much greater than man’s, it’s never going to let us relax.”
the wolf howl in the beginning is from RTK legend of caocao
it’s called paranoid….I ‘ve been slimed
If they’re providing a psychological service (consolation) and education, and not feeding on the gullibility and idiocy of people, then I can get behind it.
this is actually pretty rad.
Fun, I suppose, but practically all “paranormal” things are bunk. People are just paranoid and gullible.
Just to throw this out there, in my neighborhood we have very old houses (Maybe like 50s)and I was over at my friend’s house, and she lives in a newer neighborhood, and sometimes when I’ve been walking around a lot my house makes tapping noises in catty-corners in the ceilings, and I was over at her house and we were watching paranormal state and she got freaked out because her ceiling made tapping noises XD lulz
she is sooooooo pretty
Probably mice.
Ghosts make electric fields? Do they consist of charge? lol No evidence for ghosts => no reason to believe in ghosts.
Holy crap, that dude looks like Egon. Is anybody else getting that?
this is what that stupid fuckin’ show most haunted has done, another useless job title, paranormal investigator, relationship expert, guidence counselor, fuck this bullshit, notice you never see a plummer on tv talking about how they unclog shit. turn the fuckin’ tv off man
Ella you had me at “something strange”. girl. & you will haunt my moments for the rest of the nite. :o)
He had a book on “Denial” in his shelf. Just thunk I’d point that out. Btw: I actually have not seen Ghostbusters.. is it really good/worth seeing?
i threw a ps3 controller at my brother, then blamed it on a ghost
Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes! Volcanoes! The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!
@Burlak4 omg the thing you have been looking for in life is the ghost busters
I love the ghost hunting shows (mainly The Othersiders) and I really like how he talks to them casually, because that pisses me off when they talk to them like “What is your name?” “Are you Sarah, the ghost girl?” If I was the ghost, I would be like, “No. I am John Jacob jingle heimer schmitd.”
And the important question is: if you do find paranormal activity, what exactly can you do about it?
I want to caress Ella’s boobs.
I do.
how did her boobs get like molly’s
AVGN?
old houses do make noises, old houses are also more likely to be haunted
“We haven’t gotten a lot of prank calls.”
…Until this came onto Youtube.
Also, this shows that one can get a degree in paranormal studies, which is very interesting…
run away or call the ghost buster i have the phone number
The day I believe in ghosts is the day Ella agrees to take me with her to London….lol. I’ve never believed in ghosts or spirits haunting us. I don’t believe in aliens or UFO’s and all that jazz.
I really respected the guy for admitting at the end that he hasn’t yet seen anything that proves it exists to him. Most people would have used this interview to lie as a way to increase their business. But it sounds like this guy really does want to find out if its true or not. While I think it probably doesnt exist, I would love for him to find real proof!
when I was 5 some kids at school told me the number to contact Ghostbusters was 911….childhood, good times.
lol@ paranormal stuff being taken seriously.
@wildboy92004
Ellas from Australia.
My fridge door opens by itself every night at 3 am
and screams “EAT ME!” Is that para-normal?
Ella looks like she’s been possessed.
first. sorry firster.
my comment will end up at the bottom of the heap anyway.
Screw the cartoons. THESE are the Real Ghostbusters.
Yes, but she won a trip to London. Check her Twitter comment from last night. But she can take me to Australia as well. I just figured if she won a trip to London it’s usually a trip for two…..hehe.
My logic is flawless, she would never have a more fun time if she takes me with her, plus it’s free. It’s a win-win situation. Come on Ella!!! :)
……………….I really hope she knows I’m just trying to get a good chuckle out of her…lol.
OOGA BOOGA DIMENSION 12
Now that I think about it I wonder if she realizes I’m ‘ISUcommunity’ from Twitter.
These people are quacks.
The cartoons came after the movies. I agree with you though, I’m just saying.
technicallyabsurd - hey if he makes a living *shrug*. besides, the same thing has been said about other people who are now in history books for discovering stuff
He’s only a slight quack job…
He appears so rational, but I can’t past the picture of someone measuring another’s body voltage, as if that has any significance to anything ever. I mean other than the differential created by touching a live wire and determining whether you’ll get burned…
I appreciate his honesty when he says there is no proof.
stupid crap
What does he mean when he says “he’s glad he’s started when he did, because if he had another 40 years in the business some of this stuff will be proven.”?
He makes it sound like he doesn’t want paranormal activity to be proven if it does exist.
GHOST BUSTERS!
wow way to make money off a basically useless profession that shouldnt exist
no proton packs? -_-
Seriously?? :O text book or manga?
hmm….
It was…
but not like you think
poranormal activity was proven to be a movie :3
I guess. It’s just so foreign to me.
@BlitzWing00 I think he just worded that sentence in an awkward way. Because it also sounds like he’s been doing that job for 40 years already. xD
oh boy, are this guys going to be prank called a lot now that they’ve been featured in rocketboom
Who you gonna call?
Ghost hunting is fucking bullshit. Paranormal my ass.
Mmmmmm I love me some redheads….
you obviously haven’t been haunted before. my friends house had several demons and we weren’t able to sleep there for several days.
fhost
Good thing they put some bubbly music to this video because otherwise It’d be super creepy.
I like that Ella. She’s a beauty.
That guy seemed a lot more grounded than I expected.
Tbh.. while i don’t believe in paranormal activity… i can see how these people help… someone who clearly believes their home is being haunted by ghosts will get them out… and after that they will believe they got rid of it.. and thus they’ve been helped… it’s all in the mind but try calling a psychologist a quack :P
eww ella
molly is the only hawtie, too bad she is kinda dumb and likes justin biebfag
Fake.
@MrFluffay
really? Ella is a beauty and molly is too and i dont think shes dumb at all
1:10 Rupert Jee on the David Letterman set. Awesome!
Like the guy said…he’s never personally seen anything that can be regarded as proof. He believe there are such phenomena though…which is what it comes down to. To be honest I couldn’t say with 100% certainty that there is no such things as ghosts or hauntings…I have lots of doubts but I am willing to listen if someone comes up with something tangible.
I would say that this is a nice way to alleviate people with excessive paranoia, schizophrenia, etc, but it would only serve in purporting delusional notions of the existence of the supernatural.
Don’t worry. We’re ready to believe you.
More interesting than the usual non-Molly stuff. Good watch.
Nuts!
i hate charlatans like that
wow everyone’s ella bashing. give her a chance.
she repeats the same question to him, lol, @ 0:32 and 1:17 funny
good stuff
Wow. So much money put into something so useless.
For someone looking for proof, then you should have come to the realization that nothing happens after we die. When we are dead, we are gone. We don’t have a spirit that lives on.
Dom looks just like Egon!
gingers do have ghosts!!!!!
There are no ghosts, no god , no bigfoot. Get it
That which has no evidence deserves zero credence whatsoever. At least he admits there isn’t proof and isn’t a fraud like a lot of “paranormal investigators”.
you suck
@mcgaugh57 santa? tooth fairy?
But I like yoooooooouuuuu!
I love you too, balzac308.
They helping people to settle by explaining things from science point of view. Wish them luck, this is very good business.
well maybe
do u love me ella
OMG He didnt got ghostbusters!!! They were doing parody of the same sham he is doing now and He didnt GET IT!!!! UBERLOL :DDDDD
I think it’s time to call in Scully & Mulder. Oh, I forgot, Mulder turned in his psi badge so he spend the rest of his life californicating.
If someone asks you if you’re a god, you…say…YES!
You want proof? Go to the house I grew up in. Everything from the haunted house movies happens there. You cannot write it off as an alarm clock when you actually talk to apparitions and see the walls melt. When you are chased down the halls by a ghostly wolf and cryin for mommy, you come tell me there’s no proof
like….ghostbusters?
nice that guy seems really down to earth and cool.
where’s slimer?Well what can you say about it?if you were to rule out there are no ghosts.that would mean you are at fault and subject to be diagnosed.only problem is this is a known fact of:
“trapped in the mind”it’s never one sided. isolation,in dark unknown areas……woah that’s heavy..”dark matter”
we’re inside a brain……
i have a brain in a brain.awesome!
p.s. you can exit out the ear.
:DDD YOu are killing me.. pls stot :DDD LOL
Melting walls, ghost wolfs… :DDD
Ghosts do exist. I have seen them, heard them and felt their presences.
When I have encountered them, I have looked for other explanations but could find none.
I don’t get high.
I don’t drink.
I am not crazy.
“There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio than are dreamed of in your philosophy.” Hamlet. Act 1. Scene 5.
I wish I could have a showdown with Gozer Stardust.
@ellamorton by definition or by self ignition?
does your engine run on regular suspicion?
That what I was going to say! lol
Why are you interviewing this nutjob? I thought Rocketboom were a intelligent show - but this is just stupid.
[...] Rocketboom FAIL! [...]
NAH UH! You gonna callz GHOSTBUSTERS!!1!
Molly is cuter!
@Reschat
Unbiased reporting on what people actually do and think is never a bad thing.
He may be a nut or a con artist (I think he is merely a victim of his own confirmation bias, even if he probably spends a lot of time reassuring the mentally ill that their old house isnt ghost infected) but hearing about the kinds of points of view other people hold in an impartial interview is always worthwhile.
This isnt like those crappy late night docu-tainment things at least.
Most of what that guy said was pseudoscientific nonsense, but it was accepted without question. As somebody else said, I thought Rocketboom was supposed to be smart :(
Please don’t give pseudoscience a free pass Ella/Rocketboom.
Come on, guys. Give Ella a break. She wasn’t born yesterday. She’s street smart and smart enough to know a scam when she sees one.
You dingbats are taking things just a little too seriously.
Lighten up! :)
why does this video only have 4 stars???
this guy is awesome!
Paranormal is bullshit………
source: Penn & teller
well that sorts it *renting*
@frilink My source is motherfucking common sense. Common sense of the motherfucking kind.
In the novels; I don’t know if the manga got that far.
@okzon It’s only 4 stars because one in five people are not quite brainwashed. The guy is serious in this silly game. That’s really bad.
Of course it’s good that he uses a logically consistent way of seeking the truth. That is, he checks first if it’s not something normal. But anticipating a paranomal phenomenon? That’s bunk.
Parapsychology is such a fail. I feel kind of bad, I’ve never 1-starred a video with ella in it…
Oh, the fun I would have with those bosoms…
Look, I believe in ghosts, don’t believe in God, honestly I don’t see the connection. Besides, people can believe what they want. It has nothing to do with you if you don’t believe what they do.
Being watched and hearing footsteps in New York? That has nothing to do with ghosts. Somebody say STALKER!
All investigations are done free of charge.
@ellamorton many place in the New England area have there own ghost stories and some even say certain places are haunted. Hope you do more stories like that. There are people who are sensitive to EM Radiation, not just clock radios but electrical power lines.
How does that pay for a living?
I’m on the new Youtube layout and you can’t rate anymore
I’m more interested in knowing how much he gets paid doing that.
What a bunch of loonies.
you got to be freaking kidding me. Paranormal police? Only in America….
Bollocks!
YES!!! *Stares* lol
Sounds like my kind of job! Sign me up!
Going into old creepy abandoned houses with a team of me, two guys, a prep, and a dog and proving that it’s not a ghost… That’s the life. XD
Spooky!
Fun vid but ghosties are a myth, a very old myth.
have you checked out the “diplomas” at the beginning of the clip. google that shit! funny as hell.
Dear Ella RocketBoobs,
Don’t you pay any attention to all those nasty ole mean comments (above)!
They are all just jealous of you because you’re beautiful, intelligent, look really good in green, and have a really fun job!
They can all just go poop up a stick.
Meanwhile, keep having fun, Deary!
(Ella’s thought bubble): “are you fucking kidding me, I can’t believe I’m listening to this scam artist, today I’ve hit an all time low on Rocket Boom”
Wait a second, why are people saying it is bullshit? It is bullshit but damn they must make a lot of money off stupid people, i mean come on, a gust of wind and they phone up, then the paranormal dudes close the window and get out a skinny alien dude cut out, profit goes up!
RocketBoom wasted 5 minutes and 6 seconds of recording time on this, quite sad really, i wonder how this even got uploaded, i figured even the SD card said it was bullshit and formatted itself
You crack me up! You should do jokes like this in newspapers, you know, liven up the funnies and things
very good business model! they sure make a lot of money by waving around their fancy 20$-tools…
“electro-magnetic field detector”? anybody believes this crap?
People apparently do. There’s at least two TV shows on TV purely about this, and they haven’t been taken off the air.
Well put. I agree with you. Unbiased reporting is better than all those “wanabe” documentaries about these kind of things.
But still. It’s like interviewing people who say that Bush was a reptile who with the Queen of England is taking over the world. Just CRAZY!
“We don’t get many prank calls..”
till now.
You grew up in a LSD factory?
What type of ghosts? Spooky ones? Ones made out of ectoplasm or rather fog?
Once I saw one that looked kind of like pearly fog, and one that was like a shadow that was like a still image that slid across the wall. I know people are going to thumb-down this comment but I’m just saying what I saw. I know they’re probably coincidences but I’m not going to call a physicist to tell me if the angle was possible or not, and I saw what I saw.
lol I can’t believe people think this shit is real
He isnt that crazy. He admits it cant be confirmed, he looks for non-paranormal sources of the phenomena first, and probably, as i say, spends a lot of time reassuring or offering placebos to mentally ill people.
Though, yeah, on the whole, probably ripping people off and taking advantage of ignorance, even if he doesnt think thats what he is doing.
I can’t express how disappointed I am to see Rocketboom do a piece on the paranormal. I thought they knew what science was but maybe they don’t. So disappointing. I didn’t subscribe to this channel to watch subject matter like this. It’s shit. You can’t start investigating ghosts before you know if there are ghosts to investigate. Should I expect a piece on the serious business of leprechaun hunting as well? Please stick with science. As Carl Sagan said, “It delivers the goods”.
1:12 letterman? why?
sheee’z beuuutifyyl!
Was it white? Or grey and always in the edge of your eyes?
Wow, so many skeptics. I’ve seen ghosts and heard them a few times. Many of my friends have as well.
I’m surprised so many people here think it’s nonsense. Well, you’ll probably just be all the more freaked out when it happens to you.
Paranormal activity = stupid bullsh*t
He’s glad he’s not around in 40 years time BECAUSE it’ll be “proven”?? That doesn’t make any sense…unless he meant “proven false”.
I love your Ella Morton, I love you RocketBoom
I wish. His house is still haunted, and progressively worse.
Bullshit or not, that guy seemed pretty reasonable, and the interview was interesting.
@4K4K1K0
The first I saw when I was outside of the [outdoors] pool, and over the fence there was a volleyball court, the ghost was there, in plain sight, only I was the only one who saw it :S And it was white, and fog, but like pearly, kinda wierd xD The second I saw on the wall, like a still shadow that just slid across the wall (since it was a shadow it was gray) but I didn’t see any from the corner of my eyes, they were all in plain view.
I’m amazed at the personal testimonials on here from people that ignore anything they don’t like and just keep moving forward, deeper into delusion. Personal testimonials are notoriously unreliable. Memories are unreliable which is why science demands multiple, independent lines of evidence that aren’t subjective. And people, please stop arguing from ignorance or personal incredulity. Please stop mystery-mongering. Please stop trying to out-skeptic the skeptics. It sounds really pathetic.
well, grey shadows at the edge of the eye can be cause by eye lens deflection and white (often bright) forms are often hallucinations, you don’t implicitly need to be drugged to see these
@GR1o6180339887498948 Who cares, he’s making cash money off of something that MAY or MAY NOT even exist, hah.
WTF RKB???????????
Actually, standing sound waves at certain frequencies can cause the effect of seeing gray shadows at the corner of the eye. It occasionally happens that a room will have such a standing wave due to vibrations from nearby.
Idd, the brain is programmed to find patterns.
Sensory deprivation can be interesting too, Put on loud static from Tv or radio, turn on a RED light, put 2 half pingpong balls over your eyes and sit down and dont move for minimally 30 min’s
Your brain will start to form its own patterns and information because you are no longer receiving any..
Since when is Rocketboom limited to science? It’s doing an interesting report — most of us are rational enough to conclude that ghosts don’t exist, so this is just an interesting interview, and that’s all it tries to be. The fact that they interviewed this guy doesn’t suggest that Rocketboom believes in the paranormal. They just wanted to find an interesting interview and tell people about something a little crazy/silly/interesting in the world, which they succeeded at.
Your first question is irrelevant to what I was saying. Your second, third, and fourth sentences are just bold assertions that are either irrelevant or plain wrong. You are especially wrong in your assertion that most of us are rational enough to conclude that ghosts don’t exist. Please check your facts before you make sloppy assertions to me and please don’t address me with logical fallacies that waste my time.
I have a friend that’s a ghost. His name’s Norman. He lives in my attic and reads books about dinosaurs. He died when he was walking across the street and was hit by a bus. We’re good pals. I talk to him every night.
Are you going to interview a pickpocket next week? Maybe a bank robber after that?
Isn’t that the same case for the warranty? It may or may not break.
It is a shame when someone uses the concept of logic to prevent the need for actual content in what one posts. You basically just said “no, wrong, wrong” over and over again with no reasoning or backing.
What I meant was perfectly clear — “No, I don’t think Rocketboom should “stick to science.” A story like this is perfectly interesting.” How you managed to totally miss what I spelled out and called it all “irrelevant” is a mystery.
You’re trying to disparage my comments because they don’t mesh with your opinion. I also still disagree that the story was interesting and I posted that opinion and my reasons. If you think that the story was interesting, fine with me, but please don’t disparage me because you don’t know how to think properly to get from point A to point B logically and feel entitled to correct people. You are acting as if your opinion is somehow the default correct way to think. Back off!!!
Doesn’t pick up man made electricity…
It’s an all natural, 100% organic electromagnetic field detector
Creepy man.nice interview. new york is so dynamic.
This is the first time I have actually been disappointed by a Rocketboom post. I hope you will use your credibility and access to eyes in more productive ways than publicizing such pseudoscientific nonsense.
kek
More like paranoia activity :P
they did that kinda stuff in ghostbusters? interesting, i’ll have to watch em.
No you call the GHOSTBUSTERS!!!!!!
