The compilation of YouTube channels presented herein has undergone thorough analysis and debunking by seasoned YouTubers, who have amassed considerable expertise in refuting the "paranormal" content in videos uploaded to "paranormal" channels. This proficiency is attributed to their comprehensive grasp of past real-world experiences, knowledge of technical intricacies, coupled with extensive hours of meticulous observation, and adeptness in identifying fabricated or contrived scenarios within videos. It is pertinent to acknowledge that the aforementioned debunkers encompass individuals highlighted within the compendium of Debunking Reaction Channels, although this enumeration is not exhaustive.
Criticism and disparagement are unwarranted as I disseminate this roster. The individuals who have adopted a duplicitous stance have been duly exposed and challenged by an array of authoritative debunkers and reaction-oriented YouTubers. The ensuing compilation is the culmination of these meticulous dissections, expounding upon the fallacies pervasive within the scrutinized videos. In the event of a desire to vent frustrations, it is judicious to direct such expressions towards the entities that have denounced the fraudulent and deceptive practices, rather than towards this presentation.
It is imperative to elucidate that this register is not subjected to regular updates. Certain entries within this compilation might assert, albeit discreetly, that their video content is exclusively intended for entertainment purposes. While such a declaration is commendable, the latent implication that their content is genuine continues to mislead both their subscriber base and the wider paranormal community. The motivations that underpin their endeavors are primarily driven by financial incentives or the pursuit of heightened popularity, rather than a genuine dedication to paranormal exploration. This ethos of "Production over Paranormal," as frequently highlighted, underscores the misalignment between their stated intentions and their actions.
Additionally, it is worth noting, as underscored by a prominent debunker, that such deceptive practices inflict undue cruelty upon victims and survivors of grievous crimes. This holds particularly true when these "investigators" insinuate communication with individuals whose lives were tragically terminated by acts of homicide or suicide. This ethical transgression is deeply disconcerting. In instances where purportedly "haunted" locales are subject to investigation, a prudent temporal boundary of at least 75 years should demarcate the most recent crime. Alternatively, if more recent events are explored, discretion should guide the treatment of sensitive details. The exploitation of victims and survivors for the sake of gratifying a personal penchant for digital engagement is unequivocally reprehensible. The overt sensationalization of crimes, such as posing questions about the suffering of victims, is a glaring departure from ethical standards.
Conclusively, it is paramount to adopt a pragmatic perspective. Regardless of one's standing, whether as a renowned celebrity or historical figure, posthumous engagement or endorsement of one's channel is a far-fetched notion. This assertion remains valid even if one's acquaintance with these individuals was established during their lifetimes. Respectful restraint typically governs interactions with the memory of a notable figure. The prevalent practice among genuine paranormal investigators is to refrain from capitalizing on such associations. This assertion extends to the realm of popular culture, where allowances might be made for specific circumstances under contractual obligations.
In order to curb misleading practices, it is advocated that every "entertainment" channel that resorts to fabrication or staging of content incorporate a conspicuous disclaimer at the initiation and culmination of their videos. This disclaimer should explicitly read "FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY." Such forthrightness is indispensable, as deceit undermines the integrity of the paranormal investigation community's sincere endeavors to validate or debunk the paranormal. The intent is not to stifle creativity, but to maintain the fidelity of the pursuit.
The present compilation has been duly updated as of August 31, 2023. While new inclusions are anticipated, removals from this catalog are improbable, even in cases where admissions of deceit are made.

The compendium, herein referred to as "The Debunked," encompasses a range of practices, including but not limited to, instances of fabrication, staging, and misinterpretation of explainable phenomena as paranormal occurrences.
It is imperative to underscore that I am not the original author of this compilation. Nevertheless, channels denoted by a dollar sign adjacent to their names are those that, in my judgment, engage in the production of content through deceptive means or orchestrated presentations within their videos.
It is worth noting that certain channels within this list may have subsequently come forward to acknowledge their use of deceptive techniques and have taken steps to amend their channel or video descriptions, explicitly indicating that their content is designed strictly for entertainment purposes. It is advised that such content should not be construed as authentic or scientifically validated in nature.
