barleycorn Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Even with all our research and science the human race still only comprehends 4% of the universe. Not saying that proves ghosts exist -but goes some way to demonstrate that people can be a bit arrogant in terms of what we do and don’t know about certain things. Really, 4%? I'd love to see how you came up with that figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) A great big no, once again, to the notion of excluding those with opposing views from contributing to a thread on an open discussion forum. For a subject such as this it leads to the preposterous situation where the claims of 'mediums', for example, would go unchallenged. The common call of the true believer is that those who offer explanations for 'paranormal' phenomena which contradict their own dearly held beliefs and consequent interpretations are all closed-minded. There's nothing more closed-minded than seeking to not only actively exclude some potential contributors to the discussion, but to steadfastly maintain that unexplained = paranormal. I've been interested in folklore, legends, mythology and 'ghosts' for many years. While the anecdotes and stories are interesting and entertaining, what's absolutely fascinating are the psychological and physiological concepts and mechanisms that seek to account for them. I'm sure all contributors are sufficiently confident in their views, and the evidence they've gathered to support those views, that they can stand to have a bit of sceptical light shone on them from time to time.

We just want to read ghost stories!! not peoples opinions Go start a new thread Edited February 7, 2018 by Chelle-82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 We just want to read ghost stories!! https://goo.gl/NazMxt. not peoples opinions Your apparently ghost-friendly chums appear to disagree: Yes very interesting I hope other people watch the video would love to hear their views on it I'd like other users opinions too. A few ghostly looking figures definitely walk/run behind the guy. Someone should setup some motion activated cameras up there and run them for a month or so and see what they capture. Go start a new thread This one's been chugging along quite nicely since 2004 with many and varied contributions from a wide range of people. If you want to dictate who is and isn't welcome to add their views to a thread, go start a private Facebook group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
