Many people report to feel the presence of spirits through intense emotions, such as a sudden cold or an inexplicable sense of peace when they are in certain places. These perceptions can be seen as an intuitive knowledge about the spiritual presence.
 
Yawning is a unconsious reflex for humans. One yawns and eventually everyone in sight does. Try to resist it if you aren't the first. Or be the first and watch others follow.
It's an experiment anyone can do.

Calderaro, in a brief few lines, in your own words tell us the benefits and improvement in your personal life for belief in spiritism.

How did you choose this particular versión of it? Is there a group of like minds in your community?

And this rises no higher on the evidentiary scale than wishy, feely thinking. What people feel or think they feel is not any sort of evidence in favor of some random hypothesis to which they wish to attribute those perceptions.

None of that is on display here. What you see here are seasoned, experienced skeptics fending off a fairly standard exercise of begging the question and shifting the burden of proof. Your arguments are neither novel nor convincing enough to support a charge of pseudoskepticism against your critics.

Fringe reset: when an adversary who is taking an... unconventional... argumentative position realizes they have screwed the pooch so badly, they want a do-over. The "fringe" position wants to "reset" the argument clock at zero minutes.
