Ghost Hunters - Duped

The first investigation is in Cape Cod, MA. This is one place that is on my bucket list, it looks so quaint and the shopping potential....... The Colonial House Inn which was built in 1730 is the site of doors slamming, babies crying, apparitions working in the garden and shadows. The carriage house was the scene of a suicide and now people hear a man crying here.
J & G start in the widow's watch of the carriage house. Jason starts feeling cold while Grant stays toasty, so they change places and Grant gets cold while Jason warms up. Tango & Kris debunk the shadow in room 102 saying that passing cars are casting the shadows.
Room 208 is a room that can't be rented because people get such a creepy feeling that they request to change rooms. J & G found the ceiling fan medium speed was broken giving off a hum which gives people the sensation of being watched. To prove the point, they send Kris in while the fan was off and again with the fan in the broken position. She didn't have any problem while the fan was off but with the fan "on" she started getting that creepy feeling.
Nothing was caught on audio or video and Jason tells the owner there is not enough evidence to declare the Inn haunted.
Moss Beach Distillery in Moss Beach CA is the next investigation. The distillery is the supposed home of an apparition the owner call the blue lady. Reports are that the blue lady plays with the light fixtures in the bar, people hear her laugh in the ladies room and glasses clinking and voices are heard.
J & G go into the ladies room and immediately hear laughter. They find a sensor on the door which triggers a speaker in the ceiling. They also find a mirror with a film over. When they pull off the mirror they find a mask of a woman's face behind the mirror. It's beginning to look like the place is rigged like a fun house.
In the hallway of the basement, J & G find another speaker set up int he ceiling tiles. Suspecting the set up, they go to the bar to check out the light fixtures. Grant goes into the ceiling and finds timers attached to moveable arms which makes the lights move.
J & G are understandably upset for getting played and want to confront the owner. They meet with the manager and stay cool asking why didn't he tell them about the fake stuff. The manager claims it slipped his mind. I'm not buying that. If it slipped his mind, why would he tell the team about the lights moving and the laughter in the ladies room? Jason tells the manager they didn't get any evidence and says the distillery is not haunted. Sorry this happened to you guys, hopefully the next case will be a real one! Double D
