Haunted Shows

These shows would be more appealing to me if the people would learn to use the equipment and lose the psychics.
But equipment doesn't prove anything either. You could go to practically any location and find cold spots and random noises.

What scientific basis is there to running around with a thermal camera anyway? Someone apparently decided any patch of cold air is a "ghost" and it stuck.

I'm assuming the idea of cold air being a spirit is because of a corpse being cold. Therefore, the spirit must be cold, as well...
 
I've encountered cold spots in a house I lived in and if they think it is just cold air, then they don't know what they are talking about. The air is also charged. Your hair will stand on end in the exposed area, like just the part of your arm in the spot. It isn't just cold air.

So you are saying that cold air doesn't make your hair stand on end, and therefore it must be supernatural? :wtf: Well I'm convinced, somebody call New Scientist :lol:

I take it you've never had goosebumps then?

This is different. I mean this was a column of charged air. It had a really well defined edge-inside goosebumps, outside none. Other bizarre things happened to go along with it. It wasn't just a cold breeze and I assumed my house was haunted.
 
One thing I always wonder about people who believe in ghosts is whether they believe in things like fairies, too. The belief in fairies goes back just as far (if not further) than the belief in ghosts, but one becomes laughable horseshit, while the other spawns multiple investigative TV shows.

It's always weird to see which craziness endures.
 
Isomeone said in a forum about an episode that featured a demon who called himself Seth, and said he had never lived (through a Ouija Board). Now this person (on the Internet forum), said this is BS because he couldn't find any reference to a demon Seth except for the Biblical Seth and an Egyptian God named Seth. I was thinking, maybe if this demon is for real that it's name was never documented.

Yes - how disappointing that a demon would not have his name recorded in "Who's Who Of Demons".

Somebody should look into that.

Actually what they say on the ghost shows is that the "spirit or entity" draws energy from its surroundings in order to manifest, and this is what causes the cold spot.

I like "Ghostly Encounters" because the people who are telling their stories are so ordinary. They just sit in a chair and talk about their experiences which, of course, is then dramatized. A little more interesting than running around in the dark hoping to run into a ghost.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that post... I was like, well, not every demon is gonna be mentioned in the bible. Why would they? Lucifer was outcasted in the beginning of Genesis.

I'm not sure if you're kidding or not. That is an effect of cold air. They're called goose bumps.
 
I would take him more seriously than the poster who wants to know where he can buy a copy of "Who's Who of Demons" and thinks that just because a spirit isn't named in the Bible means it doesn't exist.

Maybe he should try looking in the index of a copy of "Lord of The Rings"?


Seriously......and they say everybody should be allowed to vote.......?!?

:wtf:
 
These shows are entertaining, nonetheless, but sometimes I wonder if a lot of it is put-on just to get viewers. On another website, I can't find it now but if I do I'll put the link up, a someone said in a forum about an episode that featured a demon who called himself Seth, and said he had never lived (through a Ouija Board). Now this person (on the Internet forum), said this is BS because he couldn't find any reference to a demon Seth except for the Biblical Seth and an Egyptian God named Seth. I was thinking, maybe if this demon is for real that it's name was never documented. That deosn't mean that the story is false or fabricated.

Ok people, I found the website where I got this information from so you all don't think I'm crazy or nuts :) Here it is:

I agree with Tulin though, as I stated in the beginning of this thread :)
