What are ghosts?

[Rystefn K'ryll]

Yes I do think there is a reason for this and it's the same thing I told Logician earlier: Refusal to let go of preconceived beliefs/opinions and validation through personal prejudice. In other words, willful ignorance. When a scientist come across something in the paranormal that he/she can't explain with any natural means, more often than not they manage to come up with some new theory that is more laughable then the concept of a deceased persons spirit. "I don't know" does not appear to be some peoples vocabulary.

Call it "pseudo science" or whatever label you choose, but there is "proof" and evidence for the possibility of "ghosts."

You are a special kind of wrong.

Yeah, it's called "right". Imagine that.

 

[Mister_T]

You are a special kind of wrong.

And you've obviously run out rebuttals. Good day.

"Call it "pseudo science" or whatever label you choose, but there is "proof" and evidence for the possibility of "ghosts.""

Please post such.

There's only so many times I can say "Show your proof" before I get tired of being called out to rebut imaginary evidence.

 

[Rystefn K'ryll]

LoL... Sure. You must be right, because you declare it, and that's all the proof I need. You've convinced me - ghosts are real, despite the complete and utter lack of all evidence.

Real Ghost Pictures and Videos - Your Ghost Stories

While I'm sure many of these are hoaxed or otherwise (if not all), it is evidence for the possibility of "ghosts."

Now offer me "proof" and evidence we landed on the moon.

In the same way I'm completely convinced there is complete and utter lack of all evidence?

Then why are we afraid of the dark?

 

[Guitar's Cry]

Then why are we afraid of the dark?

Well, that was meant to reiterate the sarcasm of the quoted post.

But I would say that we are trained to be afraid of the dark.

Why honor such a ridiculous request?

You personally asking me for "proof" in this thread, amounts to 0.

If you are unable to address the post in question with a rebuttal, then please say so.

1. When a scientist come across something in the paranormal that he/she can't explain with any natural means, more often than not they manage to come up with some new theory that is more laughable then the concept of a deceased persons spirit.

1. Really, post some of these laughable theories.

2. Yes, burps, strange noises, shadows, moving lights, etc. which imply nothing about whether they are "ghosts", as the implication is arbitrary.

I did already. Read the thread before you post.

2. Yes, burps, strange noises, shadows, moving lights, etc. which imply nothing about whether they are "ghosts", as the implication is arbitrary.

No respectable expert in the paranormal field would base an assertion off of simplicities like shadows and strange noises, etc. If your method of research is anything like you demonstrated above in #1, I can see how you came to such conclusions.

Really(LOL), catch an episode of ghost hunters sometime.

"Respectable experts" do it all the time.

"Respectable experts" do it all the time.

If you did some actual research, you'd find that the majority of repectable ghost hunters do not consider the show "Ghost Hunters" very respectable.

 

[logician]

Hmm, I wonder what constitutes a "respectable" ghost hunter.

 

[ChristineES]

I have heard ghosts. When I was a teenager, we lived in a house in Colorado which was rumored to have been a Native American holy site once. I used to hear voices sometimes and I would think that maybe they were restless spirits who had their Holy site defiled (that doesn't sound very Christian, but I wasn't a Christian then). Sometimes I thought I saw images of people, it could have been my imagination.
Maybe I was just plain crazy.

How do you mean? What request?
