‘Who knew ghosts could be so boring?’

    

Kalani Ghost Hunter

I am agnostic on the question of ghosts, spirits, etc. being somehow among us. I suppose anything is possible, but I’m wary of most of the living people around me, so maybe I have no interest in co-existing with those who’ve predeceased us. Whatever the truth may be, I want to think a video produced by—cough—“ghost hunters” would entertain with a little suspense, wonder, and perhaps even a smattering of fright, but we’re safe from all that in this recent production of Kalani Ghost Hunter, uploaded to YouTube Sunday.

The team visited the former Huntington Masonic Temple in Indiana which, you may remember, was purchased in 2017 by the Cannizzaro family to be their residence.

The ghost hunters make clear they know nothing about Freemasonry—not only by admitting it outright, but also by demonstrating their nescience through stupid commentary. Did you know the number eight has “significance” to Freemasonry? Me neither. 

Maybe I’m nitpicking, but if you aim to show the world an hour-and-twenty-minute(!) video on ghosts in a former Masonic lodge room, you ought to make some effort to familiarize yourself a little with the Masons. It’s not that the number eight would come up in your reading—it wouldn’t— but you would arm yourself with enough basic facts to inform your questions to the apparitions. Alas, all we have here are a few people trying to converse with an empty room.

I suffered the eighty minutes so you don’t have to. Oh, this episode is titled “TRAPPED inside a MASONIC TEMPLE.” No one was trapped, and it’s no longer a Masonic temple.
