Really Cool Ghost Video...

[AngelsGhosts]

O.K. guys, here is one I want debunked.  I cannot figure out how this amateur film maker did this video of a moving door and a cereal bowl flying off of a table.  Moving Door: http://angelsghosts.com/haunted_door_ghost_video.html
Cereal Bowl: http://angelsghosts.com/poltergeist_ghost_video.html

Please solve this one!

Good ones AngelsGhosts! I especially liked the cereal bowl one which looked scarier. It's always funny when you see the camera person beat feet after something weird starts happening. I would have left when the lights started flickering but you have to admire their courage for sticking around until the cereal bowl started acting up

These videos are very entertaining but these effects are rather easy to create. First, the guy holding the cam sort of gave himself away by anticipating the shots such as the cereal bowl scene; he was shooting the flickering of the lights and kept tilting cam down to table, to cereal bowl, up again and back down at cereal bowl (this time his partner didn't miss his cue of pulling on the thin fishing line or invisible tread). Now as to the door knob rattling. Using line again, it is either fed from above and through the center door frame and tied on the door knob internal workings, and someone tugging (please note the shadow on the wall, there seem to be an object resembling a pole of some sort). Camera guy waited until to door closes again to tilt up cam to top of door-wow there nothing there! (his assistance simply moved out of the cam's range - pole).  I'm sure that there were alot of takes.  Now, I would be very impressed if the cereal bowl would have levitated up about a foot off the table, moved to the left, than right, and have it smashed against a wall.

My aunt might live with a kindred poltergeist to that one you showed.  Here's a video of something that scared the *@#! out of me that I saw happen at her house.

These videos are getting better.  A suggestion to the cameraman: you're still "setting the shots", letting people know or be aware of the next effects scene to come. Starting with the lights going on & off, panning to the wall's portrait and...portrait starts to move, next you're shooting the table and to the cereal bowl and right on cue, the bowl lifts and falls to the floor, just like to other video. In other words, this footage appear to be a hoax.

Both of those videos creeped me out. That was one thing I always complaineed about paranormal videos. I never saw any poltergeist videos. Now I'm able to see a couple

Oh that cereal bowl is terrible! As Paranorman pointed out the setting of the shots is so obvious. And see how the bowl rotates slighty at first? It's a wire fixed to the bottom of the bowl; as the slack is taken up in the wire the point where the wire is fixed to the bowl gets pulled around, making it rotate. Also when the bowl drops off the table, it's flip does not follow the momentum of the movement of the bowl. It should appaer to flip right over left as it falls, but it suddenly flips fore to aft. There is a fulcrum to which the bowl pivots on as it falls; it has a wire attached to the bottom.

Nice try though.
