Bateyes that's exactly what I'm talking about but using more than 2 oscillators. That is the most amazing part of it all. Getting a whole sentence or complete answer in a 1/4 of a second! Absolutely bro. When I was working a show once I was doing sound check. I ran both FOH and Monitors so I had to go up onstage and physically check the mics with the onstage monitors so the singers could hear themselves. Now we had a chart of frequencies for all the places around us so we didn't interfere. We used the same frequencies EVERY night. I ran the sound 7 nights a week, barely had a night off. So I knew the set up front and back. There were 4 principles so I had 4 main mics for vocals. Soon as I turned on the first one to check it (I was standing directly in front of a monitor at my feet) this woman's voice came screaming out of the ONE speaker right in front of me. I had the mic dialed into every Aux meaning the mic was open on EVERY speaker in that theater. It only came out at the one at my feet.
Now I always kept the volume at like 10 db's when I checked the mics. This was WIDE open. I mean as loud as that channel would go. It sent me instantly to my knees. The pain from that frequency in my ear was incredible. It dropped me right down to my knees bro. I thought my ears were gonna bleed. All the doormen that seat the people coming to watch the show had their mouths wide open in shock. My Stage Manager was ghost white. She ran over to me and was like "what the F*CK was THAT?!". The weirdest part was everyone, EVERYONE knew instantly that it wasn't just feedback. It was one of the strangest things that ever happened to me running sound.
That and one other time this dude at the same theater, same show actually, was all pissy in line. Tired of waiting, thought the doormen were taking too long to get them inside the theater... When he got to the front of the line he started screaming at the Matre'd (however you spell it lol) and then grabbed his chest and dropped dead. Bro, I shit you not, dropped dead of a heart attack right there. RIGHT behind the sound pit. Of course right at the door of it. So me and a couple that came to the show started pounding on his chest until the paramedics got there. They blasted him like 10 times with the defibrillator and couldn't get a pulse. A few weeks after that I kept hearing some dude behind me calling my name randomly during the shows. Each time I'd turn around and no one's there. After a few times I thought to myself maybe it was that dude. What a way to go huh? Dropping dead a Las Vegas show while on vacation. F*ck that!
That theater was messed up. You'd hear chairs moving around when no one was there. We had two old Spot Coves they call them. Basically two dark holes you go sit in and run a follow spot. You're closed in there all by yourself. Well, one of our cleaning ladies got locked in there one night. I mean this thing locked her in there. She was TERRIFIED. She was yelling and hollering from the opening in the Spot Cove. "Let me outta here PLEASE SOMEONE!!" I was always the first one there other than the Production Manager but he usually showed up whenever he wanted lol and when I got up there something actually took her mop stick, unscrewed it off the mop, and put it across the door! She was trapped in there for like an hour. She said no one was there just her cleaning. After that she said there was a "Demon in the theater". She was from Jamaica and was very superstitious and swore that there was a Demon that locked her in there. I don't know about all that but I do know something liked to fuck with us in there. She would only clean in there if someone was with her after that. LOL She was too scared to be in there alone ever again. BTW that was about a year before that dude dropped dead there so it wasn't him lol but something was there for sure. I don't know why old theaters are creepy and got mischievous ghosts but I know for sure that one does!
Cosz, I'm sorry I didn't mean to come off like I was saying you totally discredited it. I meant that I agree with you on the TV thing. My wife says the same shit. "That's all bullshit lies and props". I just wish they didn't do that shit because there's plenty of ways to get evidence whether it's big or not. And hell yeah I dig Man vs. Food! Haven't watched it in a long time though.
I think the worst ones out of the bunch are Ghost Adventures. Zack is a total douche bag. He's more into showing off his Sonic the Hedgehog haircut and showing off his "big muscles". He's a fake, phoney fraud. That is such a shame too what they became because I was living in LV at the time they got some of the BEST evidence of all in the Goldfield Hotel and it was all over the news in Vegas. About a year later all of a sudden they have a TV show...
They all do the same shit too. No one "hunts" in the day! Some of the BEST shit the wife and I ever caught were during the day. Plus it's more difficult and harder to de bunk if you catch something in the day time. They all hunt the SAME places. For a FEW HOURS! How you gonna tell if a place is TRULY haunted in a FEW HOURS?! PLEASE! Especially for people that live in these places and live through hauntings, it insulting to say the least, to tell someone "there's no way this place is haunted" after being there for 4 hours. You can't make shit happen on cue. Well, on TV you can! LOL O.K. geez I've ranted on and on. The paranormal is such a huge part of my life though. Oh that brings me to another quick gripe. This shows NEVER use the right mics either. They use the Dynamic or Condenser mics. You use that for uni directional or to isolate certain frequencies, but the whole POINT is to get LARGEST frequency range possible! USE PARABOLIC!!! I've NEVER seen ANY of them use Parabolic mics when "hunting" and to me that's just Audio 101. When you choose mics for a project you choose mics based on WHAT you are doing! But, none of them ever use real Techs anyway. That bugs me too. These Roto Rooter plumbers (ghost hunters) trying to be the "Authority" and they don't even use the right MICS. Pathetic really.
