And how do you suggest I deal with it?.... Take your word for it? Why should I care at all regardless of the nature of care?Who fuck'n cares. It happened. Deal with it.

I love ghost stories, but then I like a lot of different kinds of fiction.You're posting in a ghost thread. You obviously have something at stake here.

Isn't that interesting. A theist tells me I believe in God , but I just don't know it (yet).No...there's more to it than that. You're concerned about ghosts existing, which ties into your particular life journey at this point.

Now I have a ghost-believer who tells me I believe in ghosts, but I just don't know it (yet).
Good Lord.., what else do I believe but just don't know it (yet)?
How many more idiots are going to try and shape my life and knowledge?
And I told you. I like fantasy fiction, I like science fiction also, I like most all fiction except cheap slasher themes, they remind me of the bad side of reality.I didn't say you believe in ghosts. But there's a reason ghosts interests you. That much is obvious.

I have a great many interests, some of them because others believe they are true. I am a humanist, but also a true realist.
You don't believe these issues of "belief without evidence" should be examined and discussed or even debated?No..it's not just that it's fiction. You have an interest in trying to refute the experiences of others. It's kind of weird. It's as if you are trying to validate yourself somehow.

When someone tells me why I need a ghost in my life I have the right to demand an explanation and if that explanation is not good enough for me, I have a right to oppose the view that I do need it.
In the mean time an honest debate usually tends to clear up some "misunderstandings" about reality.
Do you have any problem with that? Do tell me what your stake is in this? Are trying to convert everyone?
Perhaps that will validate your perspective somehow. Confirmation bias?
I did. I am also interested in science fiction. You are the one insisting that occasional anecdotal accounts of unusual occurrences by lay persons have important scientific implications.I'm just telling people about the experiences people have. It's you that is being all defensive. As if this is some malicious assault upon your worldview. Why can't you just relax and just say, "That's interesting.?"

I believe that I have provided more information on the subject than you have. I could be wrong.
Does that bother you?
Once you really understand the real causes, the scientific knowledge of unusual natural phenomena humans experience becomes all the more interesting, IMO.I haven't even mentioned science. What does that have to do with what people experience?

Nature is "magical" in its own natural way. Why do people believe in unnatural ghosts, but refuse to learn something about real science? That's what puzzles me.
Why do people read the bible and not a great book about astronomy? The number of pages are about the same. But then people seldom read the whole bible, even then.
It's just "lazy" thinking.
Ever heard of a successful exorcism?
Like I said: no one more than me wants to see a ghost.Well then experience before you close your conclusion as true .
You just won't learn will you? Your reality may not be my reality at all. To begin with, reality to each of us is from a uniquely relative perspective, which is why we do not need ghosts.I don't see what a person's paranormal experience has to do with either science or the Bible. It's just reality being reality. There's no need to consult someone else on the matter,
Unless we consult with someone else, we cannot trust our senses.
This whole thing can come apart very easily and persistently and you may never even know it.
You have that backwards. The guy who looks in the mirror and sees Napoleon is the one in the psyche ward.People who doubt their senses belong in psych wards,
