Unfortunately, the Paranormal field is just like the so-called "UFO" field;
There's so much bullcrap out there and so many "true-believers" being
sheared by so many con-men, you can't separate the wheat from the chaff.
Personally, I have my own understanding in both fields
and don't give a hoot what anyone else thinks about them.
We'll all find out on Judgement Day (Yep; I believe in that one).
As for the OP's question: I know from personal experience
that there is a conflict going on behind our backs and outside our perceptions,
but I don't believe for a minute in "ghosts."
Randy put it best when he said:
"Grandma always says she loves you, but she never says
where she hide the Will."
I think television "ghost hunters" and "mediums" who "contact the dead"
are fools at best and frauds at worst.
Every time I see camera optic artifacts and dust motes called
"spirit orbs" I roll my eyes.
The vast majority of so-called "EVPs" are random noises that have been
"anthro-pized" by the brain "filling-in the blanks"
as evolution and The Almighty designed it to do.
That, and so-called "hunters" TELLING people "did you just hear "GET OUT!"?
Oh please....
Here's an experiment: "Don't you DARE think of a pink rabbit!"
Guess what you can't help but think of?
Same with "Did you hear such-and-such?"
Well of course you do, after his kind SUGGESTION.
You can't help it. It's just "being human."
Now all that being said, you who call yourself "rationalist"
go to the next thread.
In the past, I have worked on a personal theory concerning
this "other" reality involving the use of technology.
While most experiments have returned no results,
a few have, and results I cannot rationalize-away.
I write this only to encourage the OP to pursue his interest.
I do not wish to collaborate with anyone or publicly post
results to be used as fodder for those who practice the
"religion of Self"* Never hand your ideas and dreams
over to the mob; they will not consider them seriously
but they will crush and belittle them,
because they feel good about themselves only by degrading others.
Remember the parable of "pearls before swine."
Follow your own lights.
