Greetings children! You better keep your distance tonight, because Captain Disillusion is angry. All right, come on, I am not really angry, come back. I am more disappointed. Disappointed in you, that is right, and do not cry. Sometimes it does not seem to take any effort for someone to make you believe a hoax is real. No special effects, no testimony, no shaky cameras, just context.
In this video, a person left a camera on overnight to find out what his dog has been whining at and discovered in the footage that the blinds on the back door opened, closed and rise mysteriously by themselves. The video is nearly four minutes long, but you get the idea.
I have just one question kids. And, this is important for me to know for safety purposes. How many of you are idiots? Because, judging from the response to that video, it is a lot.
Hundreds of thousands of views, thousands of comments and not just any comments, “Man, your video gave me CHILLS!!!”; “This is some really freaky stuff dude. At 136, you can see your dog’s hind legs being pushed. I would be deathly afraid of whatever it may be.”; “Dude, pack your damn bags that was weird, dogs and animals are smarter than us and the dogs saw in the video proves it. So I think that you need to leave before it gets bad.”; “Try to capture some EVP, pay attention to the times that occurs, see if there is a pattern.”; “Also, look above the dogs head, something rises before the dog gets hit, anyway get out of there it is a poltergeist demon, I know because I used to lived with one, get a priest to help or a Wiccan.”; “At 2:33, the dog gets hit by something. You can hear it and you could see it get hit on the shoulder. Now if that is real, that means everything else is real too.”
As a crusader of digital truth, my life is different, but if I was more like you, if I had a pet dog and a house and I got brand new electrically powered blinds for the back door of that house. I bet my dog would find them strange and amusing too. There is a literally nothing to explain on this one kids, do you really need me to do a break down? Fine.
The video is preceded by a long colorful and biased description. The definitive calling card of a hoax, its real purpose is to get the impression of all viewers mind in the mood to be screwed with. At the start of this supposedly unmanned overnight surveillance shoot, the dog is not heard approaching before it enters the shot. It simply shuffles right in which indicates it was positioned just out of frame. The demeanor of the dog is friendly, curious and playful. It wags its tails, squeals excitedly and after the blinds revealed the exterior, the dog’s attention seems to be focused on going outside. It also distinctly glances at the camera several times, I wonder why and it does not get hit by anything. It jumps at the loud clicking noise that seems to be made by the blinds as they stop. And an involuntary reaction found in every other living thing and there is nothing extraordinary about shifting blinds whether they are controlled electrically or mechanically by their usual strings which are not seen in the shot. And that is not a face of a demon; it is just you being a gullible duffus.
Context fooled you so that context set you straight. Look at the video creators You Tube profile, his other videos are magic trick demonstrations and more hokey humorous ghost premises. He was not even being serious, you were just being gullible. Do not disrespect your own intelligence. I still believe in you, but now I am afraid it is time for me to go kids. A student in Kansas is scared for religious reasons. This could be another long one. Remember, love with your heart, use your head for everything else. Captain Disillusion!
