Why don't people just stop being cretins and relalise that there is no such thing as ghosts.

And screaming in NVG-Vision at naturally occurring air movements does not good TV make.

I had a great conversation with my local's landlady recently. Some goons have started ghosts walks at a local castle.

Me "What a great scam, money for nothing. They're never going to find anything are they"
her "they might"
Me "They won't though"
Her "Why not? They might"
Me "They wn't though will they?"
Her "Why not? They might"
Me "becasue ghosts AREN'T REAL"
Her "Well yes, it is a bit pointless then"

Do you not "believe" in anything spiritual at all?

I must admit I liked the original concept behind these shows. Get four slightly jittery people, add a dodgy spiritualist type and send them into an old dark and dingy property, with out proper lighting.

Then sit back and watch them scare the crap out of each other on night vision, great!

I would be inclined to agree with you, but my neice saw one when she was about 4 years old (i.e. she was a bit too innocent to be making it up) - she just asked my sister who was the nice lady who watches over her some nights...

I agree. Original concept was pretty good and made good tele but then all this orb bks started with too much Yvette screaming at the slightest creak and lost all interest. Plus they still haven't proved anything have they..?? Saying that it must pay well judging by the motors Yvette and hubby have.

How do you know? Personally I'm not so sure.

Here's a wild and wacky ghost theory. They aren't ghosts from the past, but ghosts from the future.

Everyone says that time travel is impossible or we would have had visitors from the future dropping in on famous events. Well considering the human race could be around for a few million more years you have to think that maybe, just maybe someone in the future has invented time travel. Not the ability to travel forward in time, they can only go back. What would the governments do about it to prevent paradoxes and people changing history. They could allow time travel, but as non-interfering, non-visible "ghosts" able to observe but not change the past. They can't be heard, they can't be seen or felt. But sometimes the image or presence is noticed by more "sensitive" people.

Well it's about as believable as ghosts. So why not.

Good thinking, but the problem I see with your idea is that some people report seeing ghosts, for want of a better word, wearing recognisable costumes. The famous Roman soldiers marching through a building at York for example.

Classic argument of the spiritualist mentals. I can't disprove anything, it's near impossible to disprove something. On the other hand there is not a single piece of solid evidence for any of this rubbish.

Also there is the well documented point that if ghosts do exist then we will have to re-write all current laws of maths and physics.

I'm hedging my bets with Hawking and Newton rather than Feilding and Acora.

Ghosts may not have anything to do with being spiritual. I do believe that they are just simply something that as yet we don't understand, but one day maybe as explainable as anything else that maybe we didn't understand in the past.

A friend of mine works on the live specials. From the stories they have told me, the whole thing is a sham from start to finish.

How do you know I'm "spiritualist mental"? I may just be someone with a more open mind than you.

They dress up in authentic gear and pretend to be there smile Sometimes they get it wrong. hehe

I didn't say you were, I just said it was an argument 'Spiritualist Mentals' constantly make as they have no evidence.

Open Mind? I have a very open mind I watch all sort of documentaries about the unexplained, mysteries and paranormal I have done for years and the overwhelming thing that comes accross is that there is not one scrap of evidence for ghosts.

Maybe you should have more of an open mind to the facts? There is no credible evidence and the basic laws of maths and physics make ghosts an impossibility.

Just one question, if you had discovered time travel would you use that power to go back in time to watch the kind of idiots who go on ghost walks?
