With GhostFiles, ryansbergara and shanemadej have created a truly inspired formula for ghost-hunting content.
Ghost hunting media is nothing new. Shakespeare had a tendency to include specters in his work , accounts of supernatural encounters have been reported in print media stretching back to the 18th century, spiritualism saw a rise in the 19th and 20th centuries, and shows like Unsolved Mysteries and Ghost Hunters have become staples of television on certain cable channels. In a 2019 poll sampling the American population, nearly half of respondents aged 18 and up said they believed in ghosts.
Shane, on the other hand, has not had any such toothpaste moment. A skeptic through and through, Shane doesn't flinch even in the face of the most insidious supposed ghouls. He falls back time and again on science and reason of the physical world around him, and this is where the main entertainment value of the show emerges. The tension between their views leads to hilarious banter and equally amusing moments of action.
This philosophical conflict between Ryan and Shane becomes an example of 19th-century foundational thinking called the Hegelian dialectic. According to the Stanford Library of Philosophy, the dialectic is a method of reasoning in which contradiction between a thesis and antithesis ultimately leads to a synthesis of higher thought.
