TAPS "Ghost Hunters" Revisited

In the "Ghost Hunters" program on SciFi, one of the team members makes a statement about the area where they caught a supposed apparition on camera. He says, in essence, that there is no way anyone could have gotten back into that area without being seen by the camera. Hmmmmm. I spend about five nights a week in that area, and as soon as he said it, alarm bells went off for me.

Thanks to Fear Turtles on the TAPS Forum for these pics.

Here is roughly the same view as the camera in the show. This is the rear basement. We are viewing the two pool tables, and please note that the entire right hand portion of the basement is obscured by a wall.

Here is the rear pool table, behind which the 'apparition' appeared to scamper. These buffet tables were not in the area when the TAPS crew was filming, BTW. Please note how much room there is off to the right, between the wall and the pool table. It is NOT the cramped area implied by the show's camera.

Here is the shot they never show you. This is a view directly to the right, turning the camera roughly 90 degrees. There is a door in this area which leads up to the main dining room located in the rear of the restaurant. Please note the fire exit sign-- there have to be two exits as stated by fire codes.

Also, to the right of this shot (just past the doorway in that stairwell), there is a small space which is used for storage. There is an area that would be quite simple for someone to hide. The door opens out, remember, because of fire codes.

The TAPS team was being misleading, at best.
