As a non-believer, my criteria for evidence is that it directly explains what is actually happening or happened. Phenomena that does not have an explanation really cannot be attributed to something without a concrete link that is measurable and apparent by a proven means to do so. That is what science does. There may be strange goings on, but there are too many willing to make an assumption that if it can't be explained, it is supernatural.

@Tunnelfish You are aboslutely right. I totally agree.

Yet another awesome video, Mike - thanks! I'd be very interested in hearing your thoughts on the two vids I just uploaded recently; I think you'd be able to offer me a lot of insight on them.... :)

@wolfparanormal Sure I will check them out now.

@MindstormRecs No, the fallacy of the lack of imagination is this: "We all know ghosts don't exist, therefore they don't exist". Its not a logically sound argument to say that. Also, the fallacy of ignorance is saying: Science has not proven ghost exist, therefore they don't exist" or the opposite, "Science has not proven ghost don't exist, therefore they do exist."

@NinjaCthulhu In lack of imagination you mean that it takes a certain level of imagination to believe in ghosts. In other words ghosts don't exist without imagination aka ghosts don't exist lol

Glad you clarified this. I had always believed a skeptic was more hard nosed - it turns out I had them confused with non-believers. I have had several experiences that fall under paranormal/spiritual thus I am a beliver with an average dose of skepticism. For me, I need to have non-believers around me to help me look for possible explanations. A good vid- keep it up.

Cynics can be helpful, and I agree if their best answer is "its fake" that doesn't help, and it falls under the fallacy of the lack of imagination.
