Interesting. I saw something on national geographic debunking ghost hunters. A group of ghost debunkers first looked at the so called Orbs. these orbs, they proved by actually filming and testing it, are actually particles of dust. The flash from the camera, or the light from a video camera, actually refelcts off of the particle and is captured on film. I always thought the orb idea was something like that...and what even maes people think orbs are ghosts anyway? orbs don't look remotely human, so how can these ghost hunters say they are human ghosts? How do they know really, what they are? Second, the mist thing that some cameras capture, as tested, was merely breath in cold temperatures caught in the light. As for evp, there are numerous causes. Sometimes it is from loose wires somewhere nearlby that cause megnetic recordings to go haywire and capture sounds. There's any numbr of reasons...and they are almost never clear. The power of suggestion is amazing. If someone told me the garble is saying hey there, I could hear it if I wanted...or of they told me it said leg tree. Doesn't matter. But anyway, even if the voice was perfectly clear, who says it is a ghost? All the recorder provides proff of, is a voice, not who it belongs to, whether it be aliens, some other dimension being, ghosts, electrical weirdness, or some other phenominon. why choose ghosts? because the ghost hunters already have a natural inclination to believe it. That was an interesting show. They brought in 5 different ghost hunter/psychics that were brought to a house in a place, where the hunters knew nothing of the stories of what happened there. All the people in town had a basic story of the ghosts there, but the hunters did not. But after all five went in and reported the phenominon, they all got it wrong, and all had different stories. The Evp, I would conclude as fake when I hear garbled messages, or not neccessarily fake, but not good enough for any sort of proof. there's no telling what those are. But sarah's one voice from the girl is the only totally clear one I have ever heard...but of course, unless i was there, I do not know how that really got recorded. I do not believe every story people tell me, lol. but, even if it was, that does not still, point to it being a ghost. there are still other possibilities to consider, and only a blind fool would dismiss all the other ideas and say "no, it has to be a ghost." But I do not blame people with a ghost slant. It is harder for them to be objective, because they already believe in ghosts, so logic is dictated through that idea always. as for the orbs, that is the stupidest one of all. orbs in know way reflect the human form, nor do they speak, or anything? How can someone say a ball of light is a ghost? That is like saying a rectangle of light is a tree's ghost. how the fuck do they know what that rectangle is? They don't...they just wanna believe it is a ghost. why on earth does seeing an orb, mean it is something that is after death, some living being from the other side? that is insane thinking to me. How does one logically conclude that after seeing a globe of light? there are thousands of reasonably more real things in reality that it could be, as opposed to the low probabilities of ghosts actually existing. People just want to believe in them, because death is scary...nobody wants there to be no further existense after death, that would suck...hence, ghosts. and religion. ghost hunters, spritualists, wiccans, and any other sort of spiritual thing, it's all the same as christianity minded people. You can't change them and you never will, they will always be blinded by their beliefs. They want their beliefs, and logic can't take that away from them. And you can't say I am the same way, because I am never 100 percent sure...I base everything on probabilities. I am totally open minded to ghosts and any other spiritual thing, but when weighed against other ideas and FACTS, they seem less likely to be true. Whereas a person who believes in ghosts either believes 100 percent, or doesn't. Same as religion. It's just sad to me. So sad...how dumb and animalistic people are with their funny little stories they believe.
