In "Pushy Poltergeists" title, several people are sharing clips from their home security system of alleged "disappearing entities". One is a black cat walking in front of a home, the other is a man walking in a parking lot. The footage is ridiculously blurry (less than 140p) and both "apparitions" are seen disappearing mid reel. This is a well-known phenomenon of these sorts of cheap cameras. The system blurs things off around the edges, and thus both the cat and the person appear to vanish when they reach a certain point. To be fair, the fact that they were already beyond blurry ought to have tipped off the show's hosts that this was the camera causing it. Instead, Susan Slaughter goes off on a tangent, creating a narrative whereby the person is a man in military uniform "observing things that aren't there", implying from a different era. Then they roll the clip once more, and everyone can see that no such things whatsoever can be seen. The repeat lack of checking their facts makes this production lose credibility whenever they present valid footage---which is very rare, but it does happen.

Footage of a plane hovering in place while it's filmed from a moving car: the combined (car + plane) motion creates the illusion of airplane stillness and hovering in the same spot for quite a while. In reality, they are both moving.

The woman in the South posted her video on YouTube. There is absolutely nothing there, except for an unusual cloud. PCOC crew blurred the footage, and then added a figure "walking" in the hole inside the cloud post-prod, to make it look like "God".

In "Rainbow UFO, Shadow Figure in Mexico and More", no one notices that their "demon" blurry white figure was sitting on the daybed at left before it they took the still of it standing up and called it a "demon figure". Furthermore, the still comes from a video camera, yet they never provided footage of the man sitting on the bed then standing up. They simply decided to freeze a blurry (as per usual, with this show) frame and call it a demon, instead of providing the crystal clear video footage. In 2021, no one sells baby monitors that video record as if through a potato.

Kalsey Davis, a woman who has been trying to become famous by posting doctored videos online. has, for some bizarre reason, become a recurring guest of the show. Yet, every single time she appears, none of her videos show any paranormal activity whatsoever. (A door slamming can simply be her friend hiding behind: they never open the door to prove that wasn't the case.) Most of her contributions are limited to her screaming, claiming a ghost touched her, and close ups on her heavily painted face, proclaiming herself a clairvoyant. This show has gone so far as drawing a moving circling over nothing at all, and telling the viewers that there was a shadow moving (there wasn't).

Davis has uploaded video of herself grinning at the camera with a double-exposure of a see-through woman in Victorian dress on the stairs next to her, obviously super-imposed post-prod. Yet, for some bizarre reason, this show continues to showcase her nonsensical contributions. Considering she also uploads "music" videos and wants to be an influencer, it ought to be clear to the Travel Channel that she is seeking fame. What is incomprehensible is why they would share her irrelevant videos, considering that none of them show any paranormal captures whatsoever. (It has been suggested that the woman has "booked" her appearances here, which she would be paying for.) There have been other similar recurring guests on this show, who are equally sharing inconsequential videos.

Whenever the production receives crystal clear footage, they constantly tamper with its resolution so that it appears very blurry. This takes away from the show's credibility, particularly when they've been caught doing it: in the one with the industrial cable spool rolling in a deserted building, they first show it once in crystal clear resolution, then they blur it beyond recognition, for unknown reasons. No matter the quality of the video submitted, the show will tamper with it, so as to air it in less than 140p quality. This---in 2020.

Another gaffe to add to the show: after showing us a famous casino's lights in Minnesota reflected on the night sky and calling it "an alien mother ship", this show brought us the Scandinavian sea serpent/Loch Ness monster, version 2.0. Only a title (from the same Travel Channel production company) "Beyond The Unknown" called Mysterious Bones, Terrifying Doll and Desert Beast showed that the same type of formation underwater: it was military debris from submarines. This title aired on August 24, 2020.

A great majority of presented footage has been debunked: from the casino lights projecting a huge circle into the night skies of early first season, to the latest season's people appearing out of nowhere in the middle of traffic. There is an app for that, just like the 'add a ghost to your video" apps. This one "videoshops" the footage of cars and trucks wildly swerving onto traffic (due to impaired drivers) to add a double exposure of an individual walking down the street, seemingly randomly appearing in the middle of said traffic, unharmed. The panel of "experts" then claims they are time-travelers or other such para-scientific occurrence. It is simply two videos seamlessly fused together. The same with the dogs who seem to vanish mid-run in allegedly untampered with CCTV footage.

Series uses as filler recurring footage of miscellaneous chandeliers swinging as evidence of ghostly activity. The plot hole is the swinging is always in progress when the video starts. Audiences have no way of knowing if someone sent the lighting fixture-a-swinging before they turned on their camera. It could also easily be the person on the top floor jumping up and down. This is not valid indication of any paranormal activity, yet the show persists on showing this same footage nearly every other week.

In their Top 100 episode, the top 4 are completely inconsequential and some of them have been debunked by the TV show Fact or Faked, such as the alleged cryptid climbing a cave wall. They ranked this one at number 3. It was actually proven to be a South American bat; when the light shines on it, the wings cannot be seen and this was recreated by that show. Also Bigfoot is the creation of a self-confessed prankster from the 1950s, yet some footage of it ranked at number 1. The footage presented here at stop one was evidently a man in a gorilla suit seen very blurry and from its back. There was absolutely no reason to rank that at #1. With so many videos of real paranormal activity, ghostly apparitions and objects moving by themselves that have been shown here, it is disappointing to most viewers that they resorted to such poor and questionable presentations for the top four of their Top100 show.

An alleged ghost train is shown arriving at a station and is attributed as being from China; but on September 26th 2023 the TV show Strange Evidence debunked it: not only was it not a train, it was a subway, and it wasn't in China at all, the footage was from Russia. Furthermore, it was debunked as camera interference: a glass placed in front of the camera was reflecting a train at opposite end of tracks, and it appeared as an arriving see-through train; but the fact that there was audio of the train should have given it away that it was not any ghost footage at all.

One of the regular hosts died circa 2020. (Blonde, elderly lady.) Sadly, she was replaced by a millennial who makes jokes at inappropriate times, and appears to make things up as she goes along. (She is a woman wearing purple glasses and heavy coral blush.) Example: a shadow is seen in a man's house; she proclaims it is a succubus. She is the only one of the hosts making such claim, out of the blue. (It doesn't fit the activity seen all over his house.) Oftentimes, she laughs as she realizes her talk was nonsense (a bit a la Michael Carbonaro, minus the seeming credibility). Other times she appears to strain to come up with something to say, then is reaching for answers to explain the paranormal. It shows that she is unscripted and appears unskilled in speaking of all things paranormal. It is unclear how she was hired, but she would benefit strongly from a script, or simply needs replacing by a seasoned host.

Susan Slaughter and Rachel Evans appear to be the weakest links in the show. For as long as she's been there, Slaughter invariably claims that the exact same paranormal event shown has happened to her. It is clear that late show addition Evans is delivering off-the-cuff remarks on the inexplicable images, and often appears to resort to Michael Carbonaro-type of rigmarole. Oftentimes, the latter even laughs at her own wit.
