Although I did say scientific reasoning is encouraged in the thread to balance out viewpoints, just saying 'it's bullshit' isn't exactly adding to the conversation, it's just repeating something we have all heard 500 times before. Like superfan1984 said; some people are open to its effects more than others and just because you personally haven't/can't experience it shouldn't mean you should go around invalidating others experiences without bringing some form of scientific evidence to the table.

Right, Antelsoncrack, ----- And have you ever noticed that almost all of those ghost shows start out with the announcer saying, "I never believed in ghosts until I had my own encounter"--- some people will never believe in anything until it happens to them. but to write it off as rubbish is ignornant.

I can't stand those shows, they are all so fake. Like, 'Ghost Hunters' and 'Most Haunted' play it up so much, it's OTT to the point of cheesiness. The one good show I've seen was called 'Haunted Homes' which wasn't a 'ghost hunting' show in itself, not in the 'lets go looking for ghosts and listen for bumps in the night, shit ourselves for the camera and pretend we didn't make the bumps ourselves' anyway. Basically each episode concentrated on one house that had a ghost residing in it, and the medium (I actually read the medium who presents the shows auto biography which was a really good read, I forgot her name though) at the end contacts the spirit and helps it cross over and also tells the family who it is so they get clousure also.

Yeah, I agree- Most of those shows are stupid- never really scary and so silly, walking around saying, "Come out- make a noise- let us see you..." ---- Stupid. Celebrity Ghost Stories is pretty good though.
