Haunted Ms. Pacman Cabinet?
Xiaou2:
I find it funny how the non-believers are so hell bent on bashing/mocking those who
have seen and had experiences.
They do this because they are frightened. Because if there really Is something
like this out there... it would change everything they believe in.
A true scientist takes all data into consideration. Does not bash/mock others, or other
conceptual possibilities. Nor are so quick to dismiss data. If that were not true, half of
what we know today, would still be unknown.
There is much more out there that human will ever know. Btw - please tell me
how all this 'Stuff' in the universe came into existence. And please dont tell me that
it was Always there... ;) :laugh2:

A ghost pooped it.

I find it ironic how someone who centers all his arguments on "Fact" and "Science" is now so adamantly pressing an issue that can only be believed or not, but never Proven. "Sorry, but it's BS. Come back when you have Facts, not Opinions." </xiaou2> ;)
I am not an atheist, I believe that spirits exist and that all this energy goes somewhere when we die. But I don't believe that we just hang around typing nonsense, moving things, and making blurry appearances in the corners of photos just to screw with the living. It makes great fiction, but what a waste of an afterlife.
And I think that while it may occasionally be possible to see a ghost, more often than not people just don't understand what they actually saw, jumping at reflections and shadows. Just watch any of these so-called ghost hunting reality shows, where they stumble around an old house freaking each other out, talking about shadows and noises, meanwhile never catching a thing on camera. :applaud:
I have seen strange things myself during my life, but they are always disproven when investigated logically, which is why I am now such a skeptic. One night when I was alone at 2am (working on my cabinet as it happens) I was in a dark room, and suddenly saw a brightly glowing chromatic apparition moving in the corner of my eye, which then shot straight up the wall and vanished as I turned to get a look at it. Yeah, I freaked out for a minute, because "I knew what I saw!" But not willing to leave it at that, I really wanted to figure out what the heck it was. So after taking a step back and looking around a while for the source of the image, I noticed a CD sitting on a pile of books near where I had been. When I stood in the same place and nudged the books, sure enough--there was my ghost in exactly the same place, moving up and down the wall! :P Critical thinking FTW.
People are gullible, and have vivid imaginations that try to make sense of anything they don't understand. But just as with stage magic, there is always some really cheezy explanation behind it all.

This argument could spiral on forever, but I'm a skeptic that would like to see something to know we're not just a heap of organic matter that dies, decays and disappears.
We have a guy here that claims the typewriter his dead mother gave him writes it's own messages. What would you do with that? Throw it in storage so it doesn't wake you up or use it to prove to the world there is life after death?
Please.
FrizzleFried:
People at one time thought that the light "rays" that happen sometimes due to cloud cover (sometimes called "god rays") were something spiritual... well, science has proven that not to be the case...
If ghosts were "real" there would be some verifiable documented proof SOMEWHERE. If it's out there... please show me. Every and anything I've ever seen, read, or experienced that was explained as "supernatural" had an explanation based on reality.
Next brother X is going to try to convince us the Easter Bunny, Santa Clause, the Tooth Fairy, and God himself exist.
