Haunted Puppet ? Solve the Mystery...

A local commercial radio station, Sam FM has short jokes read out by Gareth Hale. The latest that tickled me was

Parents, convince your children that ghosts don't exist by letting them watch Most Haunted

I began thinking that this was an overt, very poorly done fraud. But now, thinking about the claim that it was video taped for 3 months and all that happened was the cross fell over, I think that it was not deliberate but desperate: the "investigator" was becoming so bored and disillusioned that anything became a big deal, such as a vibration-induced fall of a precariously placed wooden stick. If they wanted to commit a fraud, they would have done so much more spectacularly, and/or sooner.

Puppets, ventriloquist dolls, all of them are creepy. I used to share a suite with a girl in college who owned a ventriloquist doll. One day I was in the suite by myself, I happened to be looking in a mirror brushing my hair. I could see her doll propped up on her bed behind me. At first, it's eyes shifted left, then it's jaw slowly dropped opened, followed by it tumbling over, and off the bed.

I ran out of the suite, stood in the hall a minute, went outside to sit in the sunshine to gather my wits. Eventually, I went back upstairs and back into the suite half expecting to see the dummy sitting back up on the bed. It was still laying face down on the floor. I scruffed it and threw it in her closet. From that point on she kept him stored in his trunk in her closet because the oils from other people's hands would mar the dummy's complexion. I really think she was afraid I'ld throw the dummy out of the window.

It's amazing what your imagination can do when you least expect it, this was pretty undramatic. I don't suppose this woman ever met Robert, the doll kept in a museum down in Key West. Now that's a story and something worth investigating.

:D I suggest you avoid The Talons of Weng-Chiang then.
 
I don't even want to ask,but I know my curiosity is going to get the better of me, and I'll have to look that up. So much for sweet dreams tonight.

Thin thread.

It is not real.

Thank you.

No ****.

What's in question is what is actually happening in the video not whether or not a freakin' puppet is actually alive.

Guess some people just have to snark.
