Ghosts?

[Lancer]

Are there ghosts? Ever seen one? Know anyone who has? Got any cool ghost stories?

When I was a kid I saw a guy coming at me in my living room. My whole family was watching TV, and I turned my head and there he was, coming at me. Just a kid, I turned away and froze in my chair, in fear. When I looked back he was gone.

Then, also as I child, I woke up and there were two little people on my dresser throwing sparkles at me. I hid under the covers, checking once in a while to see if they were still there. Eventually they were gone.

I guess I'm a total loony tune, but you knew that already.

I've seen plenty of ghosts. Of course, they were all on an old TV with bad reception.

You know... I may be totally wacko, conspiracy theorist, Fox Mulder embodied, but I tend to explain ghosts with a number of factors, of which infrasound is the most important one. Low frequency sound that matches eye vibration frequency + psychological effects + fear instilled by infrasound + ghosts disappearing when you focus on them...

Wrong by itself. If people claim to see them, they do exist. As a figment of imagination, a spirit, a hoax, whatever, but they exist. Just like God exists even if there is no God.

Everytime you say that a ghost dies!

I don't believe in Lancers.

You guys can say that 'ghosts do not exist', but really all you are saying is that nothing you can't explain has ever happened to you and that your minds are closed.

Everything is explainable, Lancer, except human behavior.

[Lancer]

che, I'm inclined to agree...but I don't know the explanation.

UFOs cause ghosts! OMFG!

One word: empiricism.
