One thing that is suss is the video can't see the top shelf where the glass is thrown from, plus question was raised why is the lamp on the floor

Some guy made a video with no controls? No debunking needed. There is no reason to think it wasn't faked.

I approach this situation with a critical and analytical mindset. While the video may appear convincing, it is important to consider all factors before jumping to conclusions. In this case, the fact that the top shelf where the glass was allegedly thrown from cannot be seen raises doubts about the authenticity of the video. Additionally, the presence of the lamp on the floor raises questions about the setup and potential manipulation of the video.

It is also important to consider the source of the video. As a YouTube uploader, their main goal may be to gain views and attention, rather than presenting factual evidence. Therefore, it is important to question their motives and consider the possibility of the video being staged or edited.

As a scientist, it is crucial to rely on evidence and facts rather than speculation or personal beliefs. Without concrete evidence, it is difficult to confirm the existence of ghosts or paranormal activity. Thus, I would approach this video with skepticism and continue to seek out more reliable and verifiable evidence in order to debunk or support the claims being made.
 

1. Is the video footage authentic?

It is important to first examine the source and credibility of the video uploader before determining if the footage is authentic. Factors such as the uploader's history of posting fake videos or the use of special effects can raise doubts about the authenticity of the footage. Examining the video for any signs of manipulation or inconsistencies can also help determine its authenticity.

2. What evidence is there to support the existence of ghosts in the video?

Claims of ghosts in a video should be backed up by concrete evidence such as multiple witnesses, physical evidence, and thorough analysis of the footage. Without substantial evidence, it is difficult to confirm the existence of ghosts in the video.

3. Can the video be reproduced or recreated?

If the uploader is unable to provide any information about the location, time, or equipment used to capture the footage, it raises suspicion about the video's authenticity. Reproducing or recreating the video in the same conditions can help determine if the footage is genuine or fabricated.

4. Are there any logical explanations for the phenomena shown in the video?

As a scientist, it is important to approach claims of ghosts with a critical and logical mindset. It is necessary to consider all possible explanations for the phenomena shown in the video, such as natural occurrences, human error, or camera glitches, before concluding that it is caused by ghosts.

5. How can we verify the uploader's credentials and expertise?

Before accepting the credibility of the uploader, it is important to research their credentials, background, and previous work. If the uploader claims to have expertise in the field of paranormal activity, it is important to verify their qualifications and experience. It is also helpful to look for any reviews or criticism of their work from reliable sources.
