Ever seen a 'ghost'?

[rushts]

A cat in a park late at night once winked and spoke to me but I'd had copious amount of LSD.

Ghosts? Oh please.

I once followed a rabbit that had it's ear pierced right home to my apartment in Ibiza many years ago. I thought it was the ecstacy, but i saw the little fella a few nights later when i was sober/clean.

Poor rabbit.

It was definitely somebody's pet.

Which ear was pierced? Left or right?

No I haven't and furthermore I don't believe anybody who says they have.

People hallucinate, exaggerate, misinterpret and quite generally bullshit their way through life. This just seems like another way in which people like to try and make their lives feel more mysterious and exciting. Seeing how easily fooled the general populace are by things like psychic mediums gives me little confidence in their veracity as witnesses.

I remember my Aunt used to live in this old farmhouse. The entire family there assured me the place was haunted and that weird things happened on a daily basis. Everything from weird smells, to chairs moving, doors opening and shadowy spirit figures. I am actually interested in the paranormal and would love to see something I genuinely couldn't explain so I offered to stay there for a whole week.

Nothing.

Do unexplained things happen? Yes. Are they due to the actions of ghosts? No, they're unexplained. Big difference.

Cold Mr Flux, cold...but true.

Well i do believe some really think they saw a ghost but are under a grave misapprehension.
Most are lying sods though.

All these mediums and such...load of cobblers!

Aren't you contradicting yourself a little there. If they are unexplained then how can you unequivocally dismiss them?

Can I unequivocally dismiss it in terms of it remaining a possibility? No, you're quite correct, just as logically I can't unequivocally dismiss that it was fairies or something like that.

Can I reject belief in the idea on the grounds of insufficient evidence? Yes, I can.

That wasn't really what I was getting at though. I was referring to the fact that an unexplained event can't be said to have a definite cause, because then we'd have an explanation for it. I'm not dismissing the possibility, I'm dismissing the affirmation of a definite explanation.

My point is it's like 'god of the gaps' in spirit form. You can't just substitute ghosts into the equation in order to explain phenomena.

And the Big Bang

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Most Haunted and numerous other telly programmes have seen nothing with cameras everywhere at the most haunted of places in years. All they ever get is a bang or thud in the only bit of where they are that isn't covered by cameras.

The pro ghost bods will say the ghosts wont show on camera , all rubbish.
