Scientists 'See' Ghosts...

*nods nods* That is a strong suggestion towards any sighting. =) Either way, skeptics still aren't going to see something like that, yes?

Greetings, folks.
I have one question here, though. What about the skeptics that have seen them in well lit areas so much so that those skeptics became non skeptics... And then there's EVPs, unusual movement of items and actual physical contact...
But I do agree that dim lighting does play tricks with the mind and that most of the sightings in these cases are just that.
Y'all need to try caving sometime. In complete darkness, you really go through some wild mental imaging. And you can actually hear bats...no joke!
Later, dudes and dudettes.
