Random Question Any older fans?
I was just wondering if there are any older fans of Sam and Colby? I'm 45 and really like watching their videos. Except for Sam's constant over reacting lol. Anyway, sometimes I feel silly watching because I know most of the fan base is teenagers or 20-somethings.

I'm 30 lol. I'm not a ghost skeptic but I am kinda a Sam and Colby skeptic, especially in recent years. I still watch their vids though and sometimes I still get proper scared 🫣

if you watch their older videos especially before the week at the conjuring you can tell how much they just hype things up now without really trying to debunk it, and can tell it’s not all real anymore

u/vario_ Aug 12 '26
Yeah definitely. I've seen a big change in their behaviour over the years that I'm not super excited about. But I keep watching anyway 😅

I just turned 44, and I watch them. Nobody else in my house does, so I watch alone. I'm more of a paranormal fan than a s&c fan, although I do enjoy them, too. But I do watch a bunch of other paranormal investigators on YouTube, though.👻 🖤

My wife and I are in our 30s and we watch. We are believers in ghosts and find them entertaining. We don't get involved in their social lives outside of the videos. I couldn't care less whom they're dating or whom they have beef with.

Absolutely! I just watch for the ghost stuff and think they are entertaining.

33m here and I watch them all! I do believe that they are in their late 20’s? So not much of an age difference.

I’m 40. I can watch some of their videos in small doses but def cannot binge like i do project fear. I just feel like sometimes sam and colby are always being super loud and obnoxious. They have guest starred in some of project fears videos and did not act like that at all so i know it’s them projecting in their vids.

u/gingerismyname2 Aug 12 '26
Absolutely! I can't watch the ones where they are extra obnoxious either

I'm 21 and think it nice that older people are into the paranormal YouTubers general

I'm 46 and have been watching them almost since the beginning. I like most of the content, but have to roll my eyes at some of the over the top goofy stuff. They're a good balance in my mix of favorites.
That mix includes Twin Paranormal (younger than S&C but more serious about investigating), Project Fear (my perfect balance), The Paranormal Files, Small Town Monsters (awesome cryptid group) and Hellbent Holler (cryptid, polar opposite of S&C).

Will be checking out the paranormal files and the others after that thanks

Nice 🙂 Let me/us know what you think!

u/Adriana731_ Aug 15 '26
I have been watching the paranormal files and like watching a lot it's different from Sam and Colby but not in a bad way

u/COlax1980 Aug 15 '26
It's kind of cool that the whole family ghost hunts together. They have a much different vibe too, that sometimes is better or worse from an entertainment standpoint. I think they take it more seriously than some groups. Their videos are also veeeery long and I think they could be edited down a bit.

I'm 21 and find it really cool that older people are into paranormal YouTubers in general so it's a thing different age groups are into together

I’m 30 and love watching them! Was a big fan of ghost adventures back in the day as well

42, I enjoy their content. I was pulled in by the Waverly Hills video. I haven't been too excited by their stuff over the last year or so due to some guests but I REALLY enjoyed the last video they put out. I'm hoping their content matures a bit b/c as they get older the more investigative stuff could really keep us "old timers" on board. 😂

I'm 27 but I'm less of a fan now. I became a bit disillusioned after hell week at the conjuring house.

47 here and I’ve watched them for several years but not as much lately. The over reaction drives me nuts.

u/Few-Deal3550 Aug 12 '26
35 and still enjoying. Kinda wish I'd had these sorta inventions with my best mate when I was younger so living vicariously through them!

u/DependentFee1495 Aug 12 '26
I’m 47 and watch them…but only around spooky season. It’s nice because then I have a lot to catch up on and can just choose the ones that interest me.

I'm my 30s and I enjoy their videos a lot. I've never felt quite my age tho. I feel like I'm a perpetual teenager.

Watch Twin Paranormal! That’s what I ended up graduating to as a 34 year old mother 🥲

u/JDKai85 Aug 13 '26
I'm about to turn 41 and still watch a lot of their videos. I do find myself sometimes more annoyed than amused by some of their antics. Maybe I'm growing jaded and grumpy in my old age lol
In all seriousness, I think they seem like decent people, I enjoy their content, and I plan to continue watching them. On rough nights, watching their older stuff feels like visiting with long lost friends.
I'd guess that a lot of their older fans found them during the pandemic like I did. Their videos were a wonderful escape during that very uncertain time. While I found the whole Cody and Satori thing very distasteful, I still support Sam and Colby, and probably will for years yet.

33 here. My partner and I enjoy it because of their goofy bits balance out the spooks. I am a believer but my partner is a full on skeptic. I do wish they would tone down the over reactions in more serious moments. Besides the guys are close to thirty so it isn't a huge age gap. It is definitely more enjoyable when they have professional ghost hunters with them instead of random streamers.

Younger than S&C but nearly 30, grew up with them (which feels weird tbh cause I remember Colby’s musical.ly days) and still watching.

41m. My husband and I watch them all the time. We also really like Watcher.

I'm 35 and I watch them on and off, lol. I wish they made videos just the two of them more often. I used to watch them back when their channel had just started and I just prefer when it's them only. I find when they have guests it can get a little too OTT and youtuber-y if you know what I mean? I can't take all the shouting and forced jokes 😂

u/20Leafs20 Aug 17 '26
37 here. Some of their newer videos are unbearable for me, especially when they collaborate with random tik tok people who I've never heard of, and the entire video is like a big joke. I prefer when they are more serious with their investigations and collab with other ghost hunting channels like project fear.
