That's right folks, we've got ANOTHER skeptic! Congratulations Skillya, you have joined Bullet Maget and Havoc to become...

*fanfare*

THE FABULOUS....uh...

what synonym for 'fabulous' starts with three? Terrific?

*ahem*

*fanfare*

THE TERRIFIC THREE!

*more fanfare*

Ugh, horribly sleep deprived. Couldn't think of anything sarcastic to say.

Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I think my house is haunted.

I need a tan.

Maybe it's because people who don't believe in ghosts "always have a logical explanation". They might have seen a ghost, but decided to keep it for themselves and think it over. Of course, one day they forget about it and don't ever think of it for the rest of their lives 'till they turn into ghosts themselves.

BOO-YAH! I have a logical explanation!

Oh absolutely. Creaking, banging, knocking, weird temperature variations, shadows, figures, faces, the works.

Ghosts? Of course not. I'd be more concerned if there were no weird noises and apparitions. That would mean there is something wrong with my house and that my facial recognition centers in my brain are not working.

A word meaning ‘fabulous’ and alliterating with ‘three’? How about ‘thooper’?

I hate bullying, but you amused me no end with this.

I'm sorry....

Can you corroborate this claim of causation, or could it be the converse?

No, I can't really. I said I've never seen anything that would even give me the slightest thought that there was the spirit of a dead person hovering around, just waiting to pounce on me. As I said in our other late ghost thread, the only time that happened was when I was about seven and I thought I saw a face on my bedroom door. It was actually my neighbour's porch light. So....

Not necessarily. I speak for myself here, but never, under any circumstance, did I see anything that even slightly resembled the apparitions that were described in accounts of "ghost sightings". And what really takes away from their credibility is that they're all different. There're the accounts that describe a faint outline of a person; others say that the "ghost" looked exactly like the dead person and looked pretty much material, but took to appearing and disappearing in weird places; yet others say that a ghost looks like a little blob of light, I quite don't know how to describe it....
And those "photos" that apparently have a ghost on them. I see them and I think to myself, "Jesus, even I can do that with Photoshop."

I've taken taken ghostly pictures myself. Damnable double exposures. They would have been good shots, too.

That doesn't mean anyone else didn't see it...

And if I ever bring a ghost photo trust me, because I don't know how to work with photoshop.

Because nobody else was saying it...
