I better make sure when I prove Telekinesis that I'm far away from Pretty Alison. lol

two wrongs dont make it right,that is why it is impossible to argue against the imagined "truth", it is the double negative paradox. I am God therefore i am, as a case in point the 'faith believer' regardless of the faith will always use arguments like, without more research etc, what really stuns me the most is h

Also,

It is proven that eye witness accounts are the WORST form of documented proof. So, it doesn't matter at all how many people claim to have seen something. Group-think is almost ALWAYS inaccurate, especially in tight knit groups and very big crowds.

Because there is ZERO proof of any of those things. Once we can sit down and STUDY a Ghost, etc... we can then study something.

There is small bits of it. I mean when many claim like say a family see the ghost's then how can you be a skeptic of that? What is proof of there not being a ghost when more than one report the same thing>?

Because it is a proven FACT that eye witness accounts are the worst form of evidence. And, groups of people aren't much better, and worse when they are good friends or family.

The scientific method isn't able to deal with chaotic phenomena? that is a strange comment. I'm an ecologist and luckily I work with birds most of the time. But mammalologists are constantly doing studies that are repeatable. If you miss the point of that analogy mammals, especially small ones have to be very nearly as hard to study as ghosts would be and yet science handles them quite well? Why is science so ill equiped to deal with sprites, and ghosts and boogie persons?
