Agreed. Let’s face it, if I’m Lady Loch, and I’ve been living in and swimming around there for hundreds of years, is it at all possible that there wouldn’t be some kind of definitive proof of it? I’m not 3 inches long; I’m BIG.

You’re just a tool of the Technocracy! The Greyfaces WANT to disprove ghosts and such and to lock down Reality to their boring terms. THEY gave everybody cameras so that THEY could ‘disprove’ the paranormal. Once that’s done, all evidence is retroactively gone.

We’re through the looking glass here people.
