Ghost Sighting On Tape

Yes, we know. IIRC you believe in everything supernatural-anything that has anecdotal evidence as opposed to useful empirical evidence gets your thumbs up.

If they are fakes then how are they unexplainable?

Thus it was explained to me by one of these beings of pure energy. I’m am not so prideful as to pretend that I understand the science of higher planes of existence. Scientists and skeptics too do not know everything.

Circular reasoning.

Argument from ignorance.

Straw man.

Non sequitur??

Grim

LOL

I think everyone has neglected to mention that it’s a freaking guy in a cape and a mask opening and closing a fire door, filmed at a time when holloween parties are pretty common.

It’s not a ghost. It’s someone in a costume.

To whom are you referring?

If you are saying Blake was using a strawman then I don’t think you know what that term means.

I know what a strawman is, but to whom are you referring to and what exactly did you think was a strawman?

We know what strawman means, handsomeharold, but evidently you don’t.

TwistofFate: I’m still not sure about the Hallowe’en connection, but it’s surely a bloke in a costume. BTW, these people must have been gutted to miss the show by a couple of months. Or perhaps they didn’t miss it?

Just to be clear, the quote is an example of a logical fallacy and is in no way intended to be perceived as valid.

Nah, I said that. Second post in fact.

I’m pretty sure I said it too. I think that must of us have simply taken it for granted from the get-go that it’s a bloke in a costume. The debate has really shifted to a discussion of the reality of ghosts in general and the anecdotal assertions of a couple of posters in particular.

Yawwnn… Could we just argue about G-d now. I’m bored. Maybe we could argue about whether or not ghosts go to heaven? Wonder where I put my evidence on that? :eek:

Someone trying on their Halloween costume for a party in the castle itself or outside of work.

What the guy is doing in the tape looks alot like someone who is opening and closing a fire door in order to turn off an alarm.

I know what circular reasoning is, but to whom are you referring to and what exactly did you think was circular reasoning?

A simple “I was referring to Blake’s post” wasn’t sufficient?
:confused:
