This section will address the debunking attempts made by Jason and Grant during the episode(Thanks FT for pointing out this part of the footage). I do believe they tried to debunk the locker "apparition". I just think that they might have missed what they actually caught during their recreation attempts and might not have recreated the circumstances of the original footage.

Their first attempt at recreating the footage was right after they caught it originally. In the clip I have posted from the show below, you can see the reflection of Grant's hand on the right side of the video. You can see it just to the right of the "2" and the temp. scale.

It doesn't show up as well because Jason is shooting to the left of where they had captured the original footage. Also, since Grant's hand is in the shot, it changed the temp. scale of the camera, which would make any reflected energy coming off the locker not show up as well.

During this first attempt at recreating the reflection, they also focused the camera at the middle of the locker pretty much the whole time, to the left of the "2". Since the "figure" was between the "2" and the right side of the locker, this part of their recreation attempt was less than ideal.

Here is a link to their first attempt at recreating the "figure". This is a short part of it where you can see the faint reflection of Grant's hand. The entire footage of them trying to recreate the "figure" was a bit to long for me to feel comfortable posting it here.

Recreation Attempt 1



Their second attempt at recreating the footage wasn't exactly ideal either. They once again kept putting Grant's hand into the footage which changed the temp. scale. They also were mostly shooting the middle of the locker again, though they did shoot the area of the "2" more than in their first attempt.

In the first clip I have posted below, you can again see a reflection of Grant's hand as he puts his hand on the locker, and then pulls it away. It is mostly blue and then purple in color.

Here are 3 screencaps from the clip. taps-recreation-reflection.jpg

Recreation Attempt 2b



In the second clip below, you can see part of Grant's reflection right above the recorder he is holding as they walk away from the locker. It isn't as clear as in the original footage because the recorder is in the shot and changes the temp scale, and also Jason is aiming the camera at the center of the locker again, and as he pans it towards the "2" Grant lifts the recorder up and you can just make out his reflection right before he does that.
