Besides, when I've have my random experiences, the last thing I think of is picking up my phone or my camera. You're experiencing an adrenalin rush like no other, because it's so far removed from the norm.

That's the only way I can describe it.
Does CCTV also suffer from the same adrenaline rush. Because none of the millions of camera across the world seem to record these events either.
Plenty of objects have been filmed moving of their own accord, but these things can easily be faked of course, as I keep saying.

There was nothing visible to the human eye when things have happened to me btw, so no, in those cases cctv most probably wouldn't have picked up on anything.

Why would you think that any unknown forces would automatically cooperate with film or photography? It's seems to be very narrow-minded thinking to me.

I'm not saying it wasn't a ghost, just in my experience they are pretty lazy. Ask them to do some real work in their hauntings and they will quickly get bored and move on to easier targets, like hiding car keys or blowing on elbows.
Agreed, I quite often leave the lawn mower out just in case, but you think they ever decide to push that around? Do they fk.

This is completely pointless though.

Whilst I am not saying any of these are real, there is not and could not be a video you would say is real.

With modern special effects anything can be possible in film. So what is the point of even looking at them. you already know you will say every single video in the world of anything you don't believe can happen is fake.
????
every single one of those videos is fake and has admissions from the creator

It is easy to fake, but it's also easy to tell if something had been faked. A computer wizz could check to see if an image or clip had been manipulated.

Why would you think unknown forces would take steps to avoid being captured with film or photography?

Why would you believe they think rationally or are able to be being captured with film or photograph? You're thinking on a 'current science' basis and this is way beyond that. Unfortunate to say, but you're being a bit blinkered.

Are ghosts/spirits/woo able to think? Do they have sentience? If they're able to think and have sentience, why are they wandering around moving office furniture and blowing on elbows? Why would they want to hide from any device capable of proving their existence? If they are capable of hiding or not appearing in photos or on film, then are all purported photos and videos of them redundant? Are they conscious of recording media and have to make an effort to hide from it or is it something else?

Why would you believe they don't?

Is it? Or is that just what you believe?

Er, really?

A lot of your view of reality is created in the brain. So you can see what you want to see but its gone when you do a double take with brain putting more effort in.
Things moved or doors open. mistaken or someone taking the piss.
Just think of the mess the world has got itself into due to mistaken recollection of events over the centuries.

So why make those statements then? There's nothing that can't be explained by human error and the mind filling in the gaps.

Because he's struggling to master the difference between:

I want this to be true

and

This is true

Yes. Nobody who believes in ghosts is horrified by the idea that they exist.

Everyone who believes in ghosts does so because they think the idea is exciting and fun. And because it hints at an afterlife, for which there is a similar abject lack of evidence. You believe solely because you want to believe.

What has happened to me, others I know and many posters on here isn’t seen as ‘fun’. The only difference between us and you is that it hasn’t happened to you, for whatever reason. If it did you would also be wondering what it’s all about and that current human knowledge provides no answers.
