I love visiting old buildings, always have done since my youth. I have been in some pretty old buildings and spooky and underground places, and I love it. As I do not believe in ghosts, my fear would not be ghosts, but people or animals who may have been lurking. I love history, not believing in ghosts is a big advantage as I visit them without that fear. But as I said if I were visiting as a ghost hunter, I would not be afraid , as to find what you are seeking would be an achievement. I did go ghost hunting when I was young, I always went with an open mind and from believing there could be ghosts, I became aware there are explanations for noises, movements and sightings and they are not ghosts.

I'm with you I love history and old buildings, and have been to my local museum on a ghost hunt twice, got nothing either time. Yes if anything were to happen always rule out the living first and think logically about what could have caused the noise or whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakonwick Posted March 27, 2020 #55 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I used to enjoy watching Ghost Hunters just for the obvious fakeness of it all, it had it's comical moments! But anymore, the show has just become boring. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and by the way, the dragons on Game of Thrones were not real animals either 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paranormal TV shows might get edited to be entertaining but they can't be called 'not real'. They encounter real phenomena and the quality ones don't fake evidence.

And who would officially judge the evidence to be 'concrete'. It's always still subjective in this business was my point. We each are our own subjective judge of the evidence. But aside from the wordplay over what 'concrete' means in this context, I think these shows have given very compelling evidence for the paranormal over and over again.

There is no one "official judge" on this, but the scientific method can build a testable model, and if this can be successfully challenged and be used to make things like predictions etc, then you can say "ghosts exist". But you've always maintained that the paranormal is excused from this process, despite then saying: Quote I think these shows have given very compelling evidence for the paranormal over and over again ...so the scientific method cannot build a model for the existence of the paranormal but a TV show - which is easily and often faked - can? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we were talking about television shows documenting anomalous activity that has no current scientific explanation to the extent that is can be called that vague term 'concrete'. What you are doing is called 'moving the goalposts'. 7 hours ago, Emma_Acid said: ...so the scientific method cannot build a model for the existence of the paranormal but a TV show - which is easily and often faked - can? Well again, who was talking in this thread about building a model for the existence of the paranormal? In the scientific process 'observation can precede understanding'. The shows are at the observational level of doing science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchopwn Posted April 3, 2020 #71 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) It is fortuitous that I noticed this topic. I have actually been to some places where flying saucers allegedly landed with a geiger counter. While some were a bust, most likely because I wasn't looking in the right place, I have had a couple of sites where the identification of the sites was better and I was able to get some readings that suggested high levels of background radiation decades after the alleged landings. I count that as evidence, as these sites would just be random bits of woodland otherwise. Edited April 3, 2020 by Alchopwn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been to any sites in New Mexico? I would be interested in your findings at some of those alleged sites. Specifically Hart Canyon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
