Wouldn't electromagnetic output be contrary to the very concept of ghosts?

Why would bob make every other miracle out of undetectable magic, but make ghosts detectable by gadget-geeks using techniques they saw in a movie?

Well I need to chime in on this as I am a paranormal investigator myself.

I am the third one from the top.

Orion Paranormal is affiliated with TAPS. We have actually been featured on an episode of Ghost Hunters. Orion Paranormal, as well as TAPS has a mission to prove that paranormal phenomena exists. We have not be able to do so and hopefully, done the road, we will be able to.

Because we can not, at this moment prove that "ghosts" exist, we give are opinion. I can honestly say that I have seen some things that I can not explain but I can not prove a place is haunted. When Jason and Grant say a place is haunted they are giving their opinion, nothing more.

Stock trader or plumber, it's really hard to say who's more qualified to investigate Ghosts. I'm hoping a carnival worker will post soon so we can see what's really going on.

Let me ask you a serious question. What is it that makes someone who works at a job that requires at least a modest amount of intelligence coupled with an ability to asses risk and probability, engage in some crazy fantasy hobby that he knows damn well will never, ever, result in anything. Are there hot women suckers who find this **** appealing or something?

Not a bit. It's not like I haven't done my share of stupid **** to get laid. That may be the largest understatement in history, come to think of it.

Simple - curiousity of the unknown

In college, my dorm mates and I used to explore abandoned buildings (urban exploration). We once went to a closed turboculosis hospital and I saw something I absolutely could not explain (yes I was sober). I tried to find out what the hell it was I saw and soon became a paranormal investigator.

Although I had had "experiences" before this episode, this is what led me to become an investigator.

Some people investigate for the thrill, like the old MTV show "Fear." I do it because I am curious about the unknown.

Sounds like very objective and unbiased scientific research there.

Sure they can. They just can't pass off their beliefs as fact and then act offended when someone calls them on it. If you want to say "I like to pretend that there's ghosts despite having no evidence", then go for it.

Ah, the ole "Try to shame the other guy into accepting your beliefs as valid" bit.

Oh no! I don't want to be a "close minded fool" so I'd better start believing in imaginary stuff! Smiley: rolleyes

i am apart of a group called Opid ohio paranormal investigations and debunkings and i don't under stand what you have against people who believe there are ghosts?


They're fucking slack jawed idiots who can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy.


Actually there's alot of results if you opened your eyes and stopped talking out of your ***?


No, moron, there aren't. In fact there are exactly none.


people who don't believe in ghosts are fine but people who say there is no such thing are closed minded fools who will never under stand why we try to capture evidents of ghosts existing.

There is no such thing. I understand perfectly why you try to "capture events of ghosts existing", you have virtually no social skills and are desperate to latch on to some feeling of commonality with other people. You're painfully boring and ordinary and this offers you a chance to feel special.

It's not exactly a big mystery, is it now, Corky? Oh look my electro-magnetic Patheticwasteoflife-o-meter is jumping off the scale when I point it at your post! How can you possibly explain such a thing!!

Do I believe that life exists in the universe other than on Earth? Yes. Do I believe that intelligent life from someplace other than Earth has visited Earth? No, but then I'm not functionally retarded or living in a trailer park, both of which seem to be pretty important prerequisites.

I hypothesize that Smash *is* an alien. I will need to come up with some way of testing this.
