Ghost Hunters-Pensacola Lighthouse

Maybe we should call this episode, the "Pensacola Camera Light" as the episode did focus a lot on Grant's infrared illumination light turning off and on, apparently using the switch no less.  Do we add this to the "Grant List" on the http://www.skepticalviewer.com/ website?  We couldn't see what Grant was doing with the camera as we weren't shown up close shots, one of them occuring when the light was on, directly at the crew camera, hiding any movement and another was conviently behind Jason's noggin!  This episode was really hyped during last week's episode, but memorable, not really. I didn't get to watch Ghost Hunter's Academy yet, but I imagine it will be another show of Steve berating these people interested in learning the paranormal.  He acts like everything Ghost Hunters does is written in stone, no other way of investigating the paranormal is correct.  Their way or the highway, if it includes a dodgy collar pull...I will take the highway anyday.  Why Jason won't speak for Grant on this issue is troubling, he did "inspect" the collar, so why does he always say "Ask Grant" when it comes to that issue?  Just sounds like deflecting any possible poo that hits the fan when the truth comes out so it doesn't hit him.  But the fact will always remain, he did check out the collar and the collar did move a strange way when he patted him on the back.  Grant seems to be backing up and trying to go with the "it might have been my earpiece" bit..if he had been wearing an earpiece though all the halloween live episodes before and was wired up before the episode, he would have known how it acts and how it might feel like a tug.  But an earpiece causing him to flail one arm and almost lift a foot if he didn't actually do so (the overacting was very bad), normal people wouldn't have left one arm in their pocket, they would have pulled it out to help in case of a fall, plus he did it more than once, the overacting bit when the collar was pulled downward, not towards the back, he also says "look at the infrared where the ghostie (well, he didn't say that) pulled!" But that was just the part of the jacket that was next to his neck exposed after the pull, of course there will be heat there, and if a ghost, wouldn't it be colder, since they often feel cold spots?

 This is what gets me, they see these solid heat emitting apparitions (the same amount of heat as a person who is alive), which is supposed to be the "holy grail" of ghost hunting, but they don't chase it?  Now during this year's Ghost Hunter episodes, we see that "Samual Mudd House" apparition featured during "next week on Ghost Hunters, or Next On Ghost Hunter" promos, Jason didn't pan to the left real far like he says he did, and why, if it was that close, did they stop and study the video (which they could have done later) and not chase the darn thing?  And why wasn't it featured in the reveal, but now used in these promos?  This is what makes these guys charlatans and the fact they are making loads of money on the show plus GH merchandise  as well as personal appearances, taking money from hard working people who want to believe so badly in them, disgraceful.  This is my opinion of course, and how they can sleep at nights is beyond me, all a believer in them has to do is watch the Myrtle's Plantation episode and pay attention to the scene in the "Slave Shack" watch the lamp cord, which is hanging straight down, with Grant a ways away from it, then in next scene the cord is hanging at about a 45 degree angle, defying gravity with Grant right by it, arms crossed and the cord appearing to go straight into the hand under Grant's right armpit.  I knew something smelled funny at that time...and it wasn't Grant's armpit (I don't think).  Very strange indeed.
