Interesting Craigslist find.

I'm glad someone brought up Paranormal State. That show is just for entertainment purposes. You'd have to be very gullible to believe anything in it is "real". They never really find anything substantial. They add tons of sound effects, so why wouldn't it be edited for dramatic effect too? That so called medium they use so much, he's an ACTOR who transferred his acting skills into pretending to talk to ghosts. His lengthy biography is on IMDB.

And isn't it just a wee bit odd that all the ghosts are catholic??! Oh I forgot, christianity is the one true religion right? And I guess the only way to deal with ghosts or "demons" is to use the catholic offshoot of it. IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!

It's one thing to be "open minded" but just remember that being open to ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, just because you know NOTHING, is equivalent to why 5 year olds can be taught to believe ANYTHING. It's also why so many cons like "Q-Ray" bracelets exist and make huge profits. Ignorance + so called open-mindedness. People tell themselves "Well it MIGHT work. I don't know enough about the science to say it doesn't! Why would they lie?"

Develope your critical thinking skills people!  Creepy + old + long history != ghost. Being too closed-minded is no good, but being too open-minded is equally no good.

All shows about paranormal phenomena are for entertainment purposes only. The point is that I would like to see some scientific proof. Off course there's no scientific principle that supports anything like ghosts. There's lots of interesting reading material on that. For instance, why do ghosts wear clothes? Do pants and shirts have souls too? And why are your shoes not surrounded by the ghosts of cows?

We live on a big rock that is floating in the middle of infinite outer space. I don't understand why it is so hard to believe in something like ghosts.

Look around you...the fact that we as humans even exist. I mean someone or something that we cant see put us here. How far fetched it is to believe that maybe when you die sometimes you "cross over" just because you don't have a physical body does not mean you cant influence things.

If you ask me the notion of out very existence in pretty crazy. You know that thing that is responsible for day light. It is a huge ball of burning gas that is millions of miles away that we orbit around. I am pretty sure just cause I can see that does not make it any less amazing.

There are some many "crazy" things around us that we just take as normal if you think about it.

Justin Z:
There is overwhelming evidence for the majority of the things you just listed, so I'm not sure how thinking "wow, that's pretty crazy" should have anything to do with the likelyhood that ghosts exist.  Is it just because that "would be pretty crazy?"

Are unicorns, leprechauns and cerberus likely to exist simply because it "would be pretty crazy" if they did?

Besides which, your point seems to be that the fact that we're even here is against all odds.  Okay, fine.  But then you immediately state "someone or something that we can't see put us here."  So you start by calling upon the unlikelyhood of our existence as a reason to believe in unlikely things, but then immediately posit that someone or something put us here.  How much more complex than we mere humans must such a being be in order to have the creative power to put us here?  How much more unlikely is it, then, for that thing to have existed in the first place?  It's an infinite regress.

So I'm not really sure I follow where you're going with your post.
