Believe what you want, the more I look into the show the more fakery shows up,
(e.g. pay close attention to their clothes, 'the next day' and not only is
everyone wearing the same thing, but the wrinkles are in the same places?).

It shows up in the episode _The Messenger_, and it is just shown as "wow, a
cold spot",[1] but of you look at5 their camera in the brief moment it is on
screen it is obviously a can.
And that is hardly the only issue with that episode, the letter from the woman
who was the subject of that episode can be found at:

[1] As if that is proof of anything, 'cold spots' are one of the more circular
pieces of evidence used by ghost hunters.
