It’s so important, I think, that Ryan and Shane are unapologetically themselves in Ghost Files, along with all of their other videos. That’s why I followed them from Buzzfeed. Genuine creators are so valuable at a time when a lot of content feels so forced and overly dramatic. Please don’t stop being genuine creators!

i don’t care if a ghost files episode has compelling evidence or not. it doesn’t even have to be ridiculously hilarious. i’ll find a reason to love it. and it’ll definitely still spook me out and make me look over my shoulders while walking in the basement at night 🤩 i love you guys. thank you for making me smile throughout the years🤩

Honestly I think that Ryan putting his mental health first is a good thing. If he looks a bit "dead inside" but he's safer, that's more important.

It is shocking how often the Blue Man Group comes up in this podcast and I am here for it.

Matt should put in his resume : "toddler wrangler" bc keeping these 3 on track is a talent

Im offended that this episode is not over an hour long. I love yall

Man way to tease us with what sounds like a baller episode of Ghost Files.........shame it's going to be 5 months or so away.

Gonna start dropping “make it so” in casual conversation

OMG I KNOW ABOUT THE GORILLA C-SECTION!!! This happened at the Fort Worth zoo, they did a c-section cause they found out that the mom had preeclampsia and both mom & baby were at risk of losing their lives. It was crazy, the OBGYN is Dr. Jamie Walker Erwin. It was a huge deal it was on the news lol

I would rather see mellow Ryan than Ryan nearly dying from fear. ❤ Here for the funny banter, not to see someone suffer. That's part of why, even as a full-skeptic, I like that show; Shane is there to keep his frazzled buddy grounded and we get to see them explore fun spots at night, a very interesting perspective on historical places we wouldn't usually get to see!

Why is Matt’s voice so soothing, I love it every time he chimes in

since i haven't seen another comment on this, i went to google and now i can totally understand Ryan being so adamant. the grinder's manufacturer is called Cuzen, and the water filter's is CuZn 😭😭😭

Ryan: Shane and I don't think what we do is comedic gold Literally every episode of Ghost files: ✨comedic gold✨

Honestly after the flossing episode I realized I needed to floss more, so now I floss every day and now my dentist loves my teeth lmao.

I just wanna say thank you to y'all (Matt, too!) for being a source of comfort for lonely people like myself; having a bit of a rough night and ta-da! Some chill dudes having casual convos to help ground me: who knew that's what anxiety-riddled people needed in the middle of the night 😂

That forest green to jungle green sounds almost like a painter's conversation, like they're discussing the color of the shadow's shade, because certain light or non-existing light and the original color can form a different colored shadow or shade than what it would be if it was brighter. It's possible they were considering painting the scenery of the bar. Me thinking there must be a reason to why someone would care about which color green there would be. It'd be much more interesting if they were painters. Edit: but funnier if they were just talking about colors just to talk about colors, like they were trying to seem deep, intellectual, and sophisticated, when they're not.

Ghost Bangers should be the end of year 'best of' show.

This was probably the most humanizing moment for Shane. I leave chapsticks around my house and my partner's house, and then I just found 3 in my purse yesterdayday. Normalize having multiple Burt's Bees!

I'm a big horror fan with a diagnosed anxiety disorder, too, and I definitely agree with Ryan about the feeling of it being controlled, but it's definitely a catharsis for me. Like, for six hours of Haunting of Hill House, I can be convinced reality is a joke mask covering a leering, gibbering nightmare face and the world I'm inhabiting agrees with me and uses that to say interesting things. Like, I feel happy in a strange way, watching horror. Like this intangible sensation of looming horror is suddenly something I can confront. It's a kind of fear that's more reassuring than a looming sense that I'm going to let everyone down and the world will collapse if I don't stop it somehow. At least then there's a goddamn ghost to point at and go "THAT-- THAT'S what scares me" instead of having to just sort of gesticulate at everything and go "It feels like it's all going wrong somehow"

Never expecting you to act any certain way Ryan!!! Do whatever you need to do to feel safe! Love watching you guys run around scary buildings regardless you being scared or not

Ape fact: the OBGYN who delivered my aunt also helped deliver the first gorilla born in captivity

“Can I sample?” Ryan please 💀

Shane, I love that you write down bizarre conversations you overhear in public, because I do this too - if I ever meet you (you won't see this comment but whatevs) I have a real doozy that I took down about ten years ago that is by far the weirdest conversation I have ever heard strangers have, and I think you'd enjoy it.

I'm surprised people didn't like Ryan appearing to be unafraid on last season, I enjoyed it a lot! It was something unexpected, those places they go to are creepy af. And even if he is scared he does it anyway, that's a brave person right there and eitherway I'm proud of him :)

this makes me sooo excited for ghost files if you can even get shane to say it was bonkers. also ryan, keep your physical and mental health safe. if you need to disassociate to get through something or even bow out entirely, your fans will understand.

My favorite conversation I ever overheard was at a Thai restaurant. The 50-something man at the table next to me asked the waitress for "some kind of sauce that's not too spicy or sweet" and she offers soy sauce. And then he's like "Oh, what's that taste like?" Man lived into his middle-age without ever hearing of soy sauce.

7:00 you can make them tho. I bought a few pounds of beeswax from a local apiary & when my lip balm tubes run out, I refill them. Just beeswax, olive oil, and any other oils of your choice, like essential oil for flavor. Super easy. Saves plastic.

You should have Gloopers: ghost bloopers that don't make it into that one episode lol

God, why is Ryan’s answers to “what can’t you live without” so relatable 😂😂. Like, yes, Burt’s bees (I do what Shane does and have them everywhere), but also, all the things Ryan said. All of them. And the routine all or nothing thing.

I like “chill Ryan” bc as someone with an anxiety disorder, being so scared that you clock out from your emotions is too relatable lmao

I could hear them about ghost files all day, literally don’t know why

Maybe you cant talk about it, but I would love to hear Ryan's thoughts on the Hannah episode from Unsolved. That one still gives me chills!

Absolutely obsessed with the conversations Shane is recording.

Ever since Shane told the cockroach story, now every night when I drink water I double check my glass to make sure a cockroach isn't in it. So thank you for giving my anxious ass a new phobia. Am I alone in this?

Get the biodegradable floss picks! They have them made out of bamboo, cornstarch, etc. They are all I use!

Waiting for ghostfiles even more. Hype asf

I’ve got chills guys, I’m so excited for ghost files 🥶👻

100% agree, only paranormal evidence I've got was recorded accidentally and I found it later.

Shane truly has a way with words- the way he can make a regular wall conversation sound hilarious and keep his friends hooked on it. It's good that he does Puppet History cause he could be a stand up comedian if there was no Watcher.

My favorite comfort show man

I've been waiting for them to discuss evidence for the series as a whole versus just each individual one, would love to hear more.

I definitely believe “if you’re open to it, they come to you” thing. I haven’t talked about ghosts since 2018 and haven’t had any problems since!

The way I was just looking to see if y'all 🤠 posted a new podcast that I could drive home to! Absolutely love this pod!!!!

Very clever watcher, hyping up a chapter of the next season of ghost files in a podcast and then 12 days later hide said episode behind a paywall, very very clever

Having Watcher withdrawals so tuning into the podcast now. First of all, just so comforting. Second, absolutely PUMPED for the new Ghost Files season when it premiers.

Ryan is absolutely SPOT ON when he makes the point that people with anxiety tend to love horror movies because it’s controlled chaos. I immediately agreed and felt understood.

Dear Shane, I cannot count the times I have sat in my driveway in my car and listened to yall😂 It's my me time and you all make the best conpany!

Yo, first time commenter...My favorite show on KZfaq is Ghost Files... You guys are such a good team! 44 year old Marine Corps Veteran, and I blipping love you guys. Prove em wrong Ryan, #Boogara

Thank you for explaining anxiety so accurately Ryan! I’m a big horror fan and it’s cause I like to know me putting myself in a situation to be scared rather than being scared in life when I can’t do anything about it!

Ryan talking about anxiety and hunting was spot on! Also, love Steven's hair!!

Genuinely so invested in the episode of ghost files, it sounds like a truly frightening watch

I can now say I spent my morning reading about a gorilla birth in Texas. What a start to the week!

So excited to see this season. ❤❤ For the record I enjoy the “boring” episodes too. Any time with these boys is golden. Love from Nola.

I think ghost files is also at it's best when in a fairly uneventful episode, Shane is nerding out about the history of the area or building while Ryan is scared and trying to set up a full-on paranormal investigation.

I’ve never heard Shane say, ‘You got me.” I was in shock and had to rewind to make sure I heard it right.

Ghost Files is the best supernatural show I've ever seen, TV quality, entertaining hosts and Nighttime Dan! What more could you ask for? My boyfriend is a Shane supporter and I'm a Ryan fan because he acts exactly how I would and is a believer. Ryan also gave me my favourite quote "because if we are all going to die someday, why not today?".

BLUEPISODE ‼️‼️‼️

Lmao Ryan’s “….no….” when Shane suggests “Ghost Bangers” as the new title of the show actually made me lol.

I adore the authenticity that Ryan and Shane bring to their ghost hunting. They're literally the only well-known ghost hunters I trust, and I wouldn't trade that. The less active places are great because they add to the autheniticy and we get to see you guys being just silly goofy!! What more could we ask for?

Now I'm super stoked to see the episode of Ghost Files that was discussed. Thanks for more awesome content!

Interesting to find out about Ryan's anxiety mixed with his ghost hunting. I never would have thought that he always seems scared but for the most part really level headed in the face of something hes scared of. I'd be scared to walk around some creepy place in the dark too, not cuz ghosts but like maybe tripping and impaling myself on a piece of rebar or such.... Like you see dudes on youtube hunting ghosts and they scream when they hear a drippy pipe. Ghoul Boys do good.

Stonemill Matcha!! 🥰 Edit: My coffee maker also has a timer (waking up to the smell of coffee is the best!) but I didn't know that the timer resets when there is a power outage, so that is how I ended up with freshly brewed coffee at midnight.

*OMG I CANT WAIT FOR GHOST BANGERS!!!!*

cant wait for that ghost files episode!!!

47:36 personally for me as someone who has an anxiety disorder I learned that everything seems scary and if normal everyday things seems scary then being scared for an “actual” reason seems fulfilling? Like it just is nice to finally be scared over something that is actually scary and not something mundane so it gives you a sense of accomplishment or normalcy its weird

Been with you guys since buzzfeed unsolved, enjoying all the new and recent content. Keep up the good work! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Best episode yet. Great vibes.

Ryan was disassociating through season 2 so hard that he missed what Shane noticed

It's funny that Ryan can't think of what he can't go without when he wears that necklace ALL THE TIME! I think it's hieroglyphs?

The trio is baaaack!!! Yuss! 😈 Sorry, feels a bit odd without the trifecta.

Lims are like “ slanted “ that’s too easy !😂

I need Ryan to drink a cup of coffee before every ghost files investigation

I was already so excited for Ghost Files but now??? OMG I can't wait

I feel less weird knowing that Shane also writes down weird conversations that hit him, I’ve done this since I had a notes app and it’s to fun to find them randomly sprinkled in there. Reminds me of the poem The Orange by Wendy Cope :))

Shane not being able to live without burt's bees is actually so real. I always have multiple chapsticks/lip balms on me and it's an essential 🙏

1. GF teaser-cruel & unusual! 2. I have severe anxiety, but it’s quite crazy how calm I am ONLY in severely intense situations! A grocery store I’ll panic in, but I’ve been in life & death situations where I feel in control & at ease. It’s crazy. Proud of you Ryan, for speaking on it 👏

"I placebo'd myself". A great phrase!

They have plug in timers, that you could use to "set" things to...It's like a dial, at least the ones I've used for plants a while back...

Man really excited for this ghost files episode.

Ryan, I’m guessing you’re a most haunted fan, the U.K ghost/paranormal series that’s been on for decades. Absolutely love your content 🫶

I love Ryan, love calm Ryan, crazy Ryan, you name it! Even though I'm skeptical and most of the time I know I'm laughing at a person being scared of literal air, I genuinely think he's the bravest man alive because with Shane, I know he doesn't really believe in shit and that plays a lot into how he reacts to creepy stuff but Ryan, my man is out there fighting for his dear fucking life and I really appreciate that commitment. Idk, I just love anything you guys do evidence or not, you're just fun to watch and I wish you the best.

I speak for everyone when I say, absolute BANGER EPISODE. Actually my favorite pod u guys have put out 🔥

DUDE THE PERSON WHO PERFORMED THAT C-SECTION THAT WAS MY OBGYN, HE DID MY LAPROSCOPY AND TOLD ME ABOUT IT BEFOREHAND

please do a pajama party episode, I'm begging

Oh I’m so excited for the new ghost files season now !!!

Something I can't live without: dogs. Sweet baby puppies 😍

Like Ryan, I have a complete inability to form routines.... So it took me a while to think of something I actually use daily. BUT I for sure couldn't live without just an unreal amount of notebooks/pads/sticky notes. I gotta have something to write on nearby at ALL TIMES. No the notes app doesn't count! I need that tactile feel, a physical object that will remind me it's there to be used. I have notebooks of various sizes so that I can always bring one with me, I have three different forms of paper next to my computer just in case (and that's not even taking into account the drawers...). And the thing is, I use all of them, consistently. I couldn't live without paper sounds like a copout answer though lol

Some context for the “apes lady” there was a big conference in LA for biological anthropologists & a lot of primatologists around this time! I imagine it was one of the scientists :)

Damn Ryan I haven’t even seen the episode but just hearing him talk about it I’m so proud of him. It must be crazy to do something that every inch of your body is telling you not to do

this is my favourite podcast

I love Nukes Top 5. Im always excited to see me bois on there. 😁 Also shane and the chapstick 😂

For me, the most chilling event you recorded in your investigations, was the spirit box session in the cubbyhole behind the viper room

i truly don’t understand people that complain abt ghost files. like ur kinda missing the whole point then… i love how genuine u guys have made this show! it’s great even without ‘evidence’ being there constantly. i hope u do take care of urself tho ryan! i know u enjoy what you do but pls look out for ur mental health always. and if that means cool guy ryan has to take over then so be it! also can’t wait for ur cafe steven :P

I cannot wait for a Ghost Files episode where both Ryan and Shane are excited for the drop! 👻💀

Best conversation I overheard: (At the San Diego zoo) two college age boys: "Have you ever ate chalk? You mean like a vitamin that is chalky? No, I mean chalk- the sidewalk kind." 😆

I wish they gave us a 10 sec preview of what they were talking about for Ghost Files.

I’d be so stoked if this mythical hinted episode was at Leap Castle. It probably won’t be, but I’m pretty sure it was revealed some of S3 would be international, and I can’t think of a spookier place.

There is another Nukes Top 5 episode that Buzzfeed Unsolved made it into, it's titled "Top 5 ghost videos to scare your inner demons".

Ryan my guy have you been tested for adhd because saaaame, one leg of my routine is thrown off and my life descends into chaos

LMAO. Shane, anesthesiologists have to go to school for 12-15 years so I'm guessing it's kinda hard.
