If people at one won point quite reasonably assumed the Earth was flat, the liklihood is you would have been one of them. And it seems it's not.

taper Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 How dare you. In a previous life I was Pythagoras. Believe what you wish Louisa. But rest assured your fears of ghosties and ghoulies are not well founded. Pleased to hear you didn't spunk any cash on the psychic.

Lynne Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 If it was just a question of how many people had died in any place, then all hospitals should be so full of ghosts that it would be difficult to walk through the corridors.

maxxi Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Get the wrong kind of psychic whistle and you'll be surrounded by the ghosts of a thousand dead dogs.I don't think evidence is necessary - the faintly ethereal and slightly scatty are free to believe in ghosts just as the seriously deluded are to believe in god/gods etc. Just as long as they don't start killing each other over the right approach to poltergeists and/or organise a fatwa against Ghostbusters for trivialising the issue.

Other people (I knew one) can only see things in shades of black and white. No amount of others telling them they were "wrong" could convince them that colour "existed", if they had a mind to doubt it.Some people are sensitive to psychic phenomena which others can't perceive. Telling them that they are talking bollocks just because you are not so sensitive is closed-minded.

voltore Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Amongst all the stories and "beliefs" on this thread, to my mind the least scientific statement made was to give 100% assurance that something doesn't exist.A healthy state of agnosticism is probably best Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/39745-ghosts-and-paranormal-activity-in-ed-pr/page/2/#findComment-707128 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you don't know somwthing doesn't mean it doesn't exist and I'm talking about anything. For feeble minded read closed mind in your case.

Alan Medic Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Who is asking you to accept anything apart from a possibility? Anyone can do that surely even if you think it unlikely. But to say something doesn't exist because you haven't experienced it is narrow minded imo.
