they're 3 apples tall 😭😭
This is canon 😭😭😭
We all love Big Dick Tom but tbh Shane apologizing to the doll he accidentally decapitated and saying "I'm sorry darlin," choking on his emotions, is a top 10 ghost files moment for me
As a history student going into library science, people way under hype how crazy book banning is

Since ghost files is ending, I’m gonna share two of my fav moments that I have absolutely loved. The first: Ryan and Shane being called a “nerd” by one of the ghosts in the St. Ignatisus (I think it’s that episode, if I’m wrong, please let me know!). The second: Shane beating the absolute daylights out of Mr. Hull and believing wholeheartedly that he may have killed a ghost.
Man. I would love to go ghost hunting with Ryan and Shane. I feel like I wouldn’t even be scared. So much chaos would be happening just between the two of them that I wouldn’t even need to feel fear. However, the moment I do have to go on a solo investigation, just know I will be metaphorically shitting my pants the moment something happens to me.
“You’re a deeply mistrusting person and I respect it.”

As for the horse? I did my best 😅
