Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

We did all the control testing we could and nothing else happened that night.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

We were there for hours.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

Nothing else happened.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

But the first thing we did happen and it was unexplainable.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

Nothing, nothing lit up.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

We tried other, nothing really happened.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

You guys weren't hot enough.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

We weren't.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

You weren't sexy enough for Michael.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

Yeah, there weren't enough women in the group.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

I talk about a study in the book.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

It's one of the few studies where I was like, I wish I had thought of that study.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

And the short of it was that you imagine you get 100 people, let's say half of them believe in ghosts and half don't.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

Then you mix them together and you split those into two groups.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

You got 25 and 25, right?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

So 50 people, 25 believe in ghosts, 25 don't.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

And then another group, the same thing.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

Now, in group A, you tell them when they come into the lab to do this study, hey, just so you know, we need you to sign this form to let you know that someone died recently in this room.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

If people were told that there was the possibility of a ghost being in the room, they reacted to strange events during their lab experience in the same way.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

It didn't matter if they believed in ghosts or not.
