Re: evidence - a question for skepticsBrett, are you still pretty active in ghost investigating?
Re: evidence - a question for skeptics
i see no reason in scientists investigating this kind of claims just because people like to believe in them i think i remember that NASA used their satelites to look for Nessie and they didnt found anything... did that stoped cryptozoologists from believing in their beloved monster?... nah the same will happen to ghosts there is also a psychologist study explaining the tunnel vision when you have a Near Death experience.. but does people care about the scientific approach?.. nah... for heavens sake!.. Clarence Clemons from th E Street band went to Howard Stern yesterday and claimed to have a NDE and hear voices.. people really dont want those studies. For every person who reads this valuable book there are hundreds of naïve souls who would prefer to have their spines tingled by a sensational but worthless potboiler by some hack journalist of the paranormal. You who now read these sentences join a small but wiser minority. Martin Gaardner (Psychology of the Psychic)
Re: evidence - a question for skeptics
well sadly these days because of both my disabilities AND my "lets do this job properly attitude " - i dont get to do much ![]() ![]() ![]() + the bubble has sort of burst in the UK , oh sure the pay to play groups and "experts " are still active - but i have noted a lot of former groups either gone or their sites are not updated so i am sort of holding my self in reserve for the real case , the one with multiple manifestations , poltergeists, and all the bells and whistles ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() in the mean time prof - i am researching - reading and following up some historical stuff that is of interest to me - oh and of course annoying people on forums ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() hope that answers your question LIFE - just filling the bits between birth, death and taxes
Re: evidence - a question for skepticsdo you have a link to that study please csicop ?? - i would like to read the latest ( if of course its not one of those pay to read it type studies ) and actually i am glad you brought this up , we are told that science has the answers and we should follow the scientific method and read research papers - then what do they do ?? - want to charge us for the privilege - thus restricting and in many ways discriminating against those who do not have the wherewithal to do so , after all like film reviews , abstracts can be cracked up to sound brilliant , only when you see the film do you say "well that was a waste of money "
and i am sure that you would not argue that we believers , should not look at ALL the available data and thinking on the subject , eh ?? ( oh of course WE are not clever enough to understand it are we ?? ) i mean what have the people writing the papers got to protect ?? - oh sorry i forgot - its all about commercial exploitation and money again or are they frightened that if some of us got to read them we may have the temerity to disagree with their findings and theories ?? ![]() LIFE - just filling the bits between birth, death and taxes
Re: evidence - a question for skeptics
Yes, that answers it. I'm sorry you aren't able to get out and investigate. They could sure use more people searching for the real answers. I lived up in Suffolk back 20 some-odd years ago and ghost stories were all the rage, but little to no investigating at that time (that I saw, anyway...)
