When we were kids, my little sister, well only 2 years younger then i used to see little heads she said. She would tell my mom that she see's things talking to her and dancing. My mom being the old school Mexican she is, took her down to Mexico to them supernatural people down there and my sister NEVER had that problem again. To this day my sister doesnt remember it.

Totally this.

The common aspect of every single Ghost TV show I've ever seen is shitty camera equipment.

Also, if they truly believed they'd seen an actual ghost in some hallway and captured it on crap-o-vision. Why didn't they camp the fuck out of that hallway with high quality equipment until they got proper footage?

It had very long skinny appendages (15+ feet) which made it fill the entire room. It had to contort at a weird angle to actually fit the long spindly legs in, it had to kind of slide it's back against the ceiling to reposition as it came towards me. Periodically it would stop and quiver rapidly looking around.

It hung over me in bed. It had a foot or so long tongue lolled out and drug across my face. Then it took my hand and stuck it into its chest which had a consistency similar to meatloaf. It escorted me to the kitchen where it took out some deli roast beef I had in the refrigerator and placed my free hand on it. The meat putrefied to a gelatin like texture and my hand slit through it. After that it went back to my room and left me in the kitchen. I washed my hand and watched the 5 o'clock PBS news on the couch.

Kinda weird I guess.

Dude you have more issues that National Geographic.

No, it didn't, unless it was on the radio, and a local radio station played it every morning, and you had an alarm feature set on it.

You did not have a CD-only player that played Led Zeppelin without a CD in it.

Holy SHIT. This is conclusive proof of ghosts. Did you report this to Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack?

I finally believe in ghosts now, and not electrical malfunctions.

Nope

those are actually pretty hi tech nightvision cameras, tho i agree they look like shit to the point where i wont watch just cuz the screen quality is so poor.
also like to mention that plenty of credible people have claimed to seen ghosts and other paranormal stuff. the problem is when those credible people do claim to have seen something extraordinary their credibility turns to shit. its an unwinnable argument. only kooks see ghosts becuase only a kook would claim to have seen one.

Yeah, horseshit. Let's look at something logically.

Billions of people have died over the course of history. If ghosts were real, there wouldn't be a shortage of them.

You're conditioned to think, by TV shows, movies, urban legends, and ghost stories that ghosts would only come out at night. People only film "ghosts" at night so they can film something that you can't really see, that they can call a "ghost." What the fuck are ghosts, vampires? Are vampires real, too? Does the sunlight "burn" ghosts?

If ghosts were REAL and all over the place, they would have been caught CLEARLY on camera by now, in the daylight, not obfuscated, not through a blurry lens, and not caught out of the corner of your eye.

"Ghost Hunters" is just another idiotic iteration of the same old same old. Tricksters filming parlor tricks and special effects at night, and playing it back in shitty quality.

I think the problem is that many people want to believe.

Of course. It's all suggestion.

How the fuck is that logical? If ghosts exist there would be one ghost per dead person floating around? What exactly are you basing this opinion on?

But yes ghost hunters is pseudo scientific nonsense.

I never meant to imply that. I was pointing out that, if ghosts existed, there should be a good quantity of them. Yet, only tricksters and rubes ever claim to see them, and there's no compelling video evidence of them.

There is _zero_ proof of ghosts, anywhere. No one here has ever seen one.

[Dumar]

ghosts could exist. the problem is human perception, which is very very verryy limited. even scientific tools are like caveman clubs compared to what could possibly be really out there.

for example, the way the eye perceives color. you of course know the world is colorless right? but even further, what we really see is even a lie. it's not the real color either, but a combination of a tristimulus of color that we perceive. so not only do we not see the world as it really is, but we see it incorrectly.

so sitting here saying "there is no proof" is like a fucking blind man saying the sky isn't blue because "there is no proof".

who said there was a shortage of ghosts? just becuase they arent often seen doesnt mean they arent there. dogs can see with their nose, when they track a scent they can see it. why is it so hard to believe that there are normal humans who can see stuff others cant ? there are extraordinary humans in the physical and mental capacity, extraordinary psychic capacity shouldnt be such a stretch.
