No such thing as Ghosts. Get over it

I'll be happy to stay in most "haunted" place too and video me getting great night sleep

The imagination of easily suggestible people are where ghosts reside.

From a very young age Scooby Doo taught me that there is normally a good explanation for spooky shenanigans.

OP,is it not easier to keep an open mind than rule it all out as a pile of crap as you say.By the way,seen that you thought that my recent experience I told last night on the creepy thread was rubbish,then I am willing to give you the money to visit the place yourself as I did and you can see how you get on.

Nah, don't believe in it but I do enjoy the movies it inspires :P

I don't believe in them at all but my sister and her partner used to live in a house share with another couple. One night I was staying over and got up in the night for a drink. A woman in a white dressing gown came into the kitchen. I said hello, she said get out of my house. My sister was adamant the other couple were away for the night and I imagined it. I reckon she was covering for her housemates rudeness.

You don't know that there is no such thing as ghosts.

Get ready for the Christopher Hitchens style put downs.

I only wish I was as capable of a withering put-down as Mr Hitchens was.

No, I've no belief in any of this stuff. It's either projection, imagination, sleep deprivation/paralysis, lucid dreaming, willingness to believe, some other psychological issue, or a combination of some or all.

I know this because my guardian angel told me via the medium of tea leaves.

Its rubbish talk, No such thing as ghosts or paranormal stuff. You know someones mind is going when they start saying they saw ghosts ufos or any of that mumbo jumbo.

You can't prove a negative- the onus is to prove they DO exist

Maybe all the oestrogen in the water makes people gay like the crazy lady said on Vincent Brown that time. Without proof I don't have to give it credence

Nope no more than I believe in pixies, santa or god. All made up nonsense

Plenty of evidence,depends if you believe it or not.
Unless you trap one in a box and display it on the Six One you're unlikely to get the proof you require.

No, there isn't.

Just nonsense masquerading as evidence that the pre-convinced accept at face value.

Given the supposed nature of the thing the only evidence you're going to get are peoples stories of sightings.So we're back to if you believe it or not.
I posted a link earlier of sightings by medical staff,presumably intelligent,level headed and not given to drama.You can call them crazy or keep an open mind ,the choice is yours.

See, none of that is evidence. Evidence is something incontrovertible, not just something someone thinks they saw.

It's not about being crazy or having an open mind, it's about making claims for evidence where none exists. Someone's opinion is not evidence, and the plural of anecdote is not evidence.

Didn't say there was or wasn't evidence.Peoples accounts are the only evidence you can have if they are real.

Real evidence doesn't require you to make a choice.

If ever we were in an era that would prove the existence of aliens, UFOs, ghosts etc, then it has to be this one.

The huge number of camera phones, security cameras, CCTVs, webcams etc would surely catch something, you'd think.

You only have to look at all the weird and wonderful stuff being caught on camera for many years now. You can see a small kid falling out the back of cars in China, but any sign on 1 single good video of a ghost or an alien? No. And there's a reason why.

Would you believe them if you saw them?

Wrong question.

The right question would be:

If ghosts were real, wouldn't there be real evidence?

Nope, and it's always a nonsense story to people who saw ghosts or experiecned something.

Johnny died at 11pm miles away from the house - we were at home watching the telly and heard a board banging upstairs at that time, the husband went up and checked - nothing. We thought nothing of it, but the next day we found out Johnny died at that time.
Johnny was sending a message.

Yeah, Johnny died and his ghost went back to his house , banged a f*cking board upstairs for a bit and then f*cked of to the afterlife for all eternity.

Do you believe in Ghosts, paranormal etc...
