On
this page, I will show screenshots that help set up the positioning of
Grant and Jason in the room.
Image 16

This screenshot is from when Grant and Jason
were trying to recreate the footage. In the left side of the
splitscreen, you can see the corner ,of the recorder that Grant is
holding, in the bottom right corner. The edges are red, the center is
white.
Image 17

The above image is a screenshot from the
footage of the "figure". This is from when Jason was panning the camera
to the left and then up the locker. In the bottom left corner, you can
see the corner of the recorder Grant was holding, again it is white
with a red edge.
Image 18

The screenshot above is also from the footage
of the "figure", again it shows the top corner of the recorder, this
was a few frames before the previous image. In these 3 images you can
see that the recorder is giving off alot of heat and IR energy, and
this could have reflected off of Grant, adding to his IR emissions and
allowed for his reflection to be picked up by the thermal imaging
camera. The natural IR given off by Grant might have been enough to
create a reflection, but this this is another possibilty.
These images also hint at the positioning of Grant and Jason. Jason was
behind and to the right of Grant, in relation to the locker.

The above image illustrates where I figure
everyone was in the room. The camerman might have been just inside the
room, or just at the door. This is just a guess, but I think it is
supported by the footage.

This section of the
page will address the
issue of the colors of the locker "figure", and how they can be
possible if it is Grant's reflection.
The point of contention dealing with the colors was brought up on the
TAPS forum by a few people. It was asked why the colors of the figure
and locker looked so "cool", why weren't they "hot", if it was Grant's
reflection.
There are a couple of pictures I have posted below that I
will be referring to in this explanation.
The two pics are screencaps from the episode from the time right before
the "figure" showed up on the thermal cam. As Jason and Grant entered
the room where the locker was located, they were panning the camera
around the room. The two stills are a couple of seconds apart in the
footage. The part that interests me in these two pics is the coloring.
In both pics, the colors transition from red, to yellow, to blue and
green towards the center. These pics are several seconds apart in the
timeline of the footage, yet the same color variations are present in
each. If you watch the footage, you will see that the center
of
the image is always blue/green(I will include links to the footage
below). It would seem that no matter where they had the camera aimed
within that room, the variations of the colors within the image stayed
consistent, with the center being blue/green and the outer edge being
red/yellow.

New evidence and footage *
This
section contains new
"evidence" and footage from the episode they filmed in New Jersey. You
might wonder what that episode has to do with the Crescent Hotel
episode and the locker "figure". Read on and you will find out.
I will again be referring to several pictures that I will post below. I
will also have a link to the footage I am talking about.
The footage I am referring to is from the very beginning of the
episode, when they are detailing what will happen in the episode, and
showing little snippets from the show. It is only a few seconds long,
but when I first saw it I knew it would be useful in the debunking of
the locker "ghost" .I watched the entire episode hoping I would see a
longer clip, but they never showed more of the part they had at the
beginning. It is about a 2 second clip of some of the thermal
camera footage from their investigation. They seemed to have
been
filming in the room with the mirror on the door(I think it was a
bedroom). When I saw the clip, there seemed to be something familiar
about it. I am going to post a still from the footage below, followed
by a comparison photo of it side by side with what it reminded me of. I
think you will see what I mean when you look at them.


The picture on the left is a still from the Crescent Hotel episode(also
it is on the first page of this site). What I noticed is the striking resemblance
between the two pictures. The new one is from the thermal camera and is
a shot of Jason or Grant's(I am pretty sure it is Grant's) reflection
in a mirror. The one on the left is the one I think is Grant's
reflection off of the locker. In both pictures, the heads are
green/yellow, the bodies are blue/green. The one main
difference
between the two pics is the model of thermal camera used.
I do think that this new "evidence" might be enough to give
those, still on the fence, a little shove onto the "Grant's reflection"
side.
Here are a few clips of the footage:
