    When we moved to Xenfora some of the signature options didn't come over. In the old software signatures were limited by a character limit, on Xenfora there are more options and there is a character number and number of lines limit. I've set maximum number of lines to 4 and unlimited characters.

The razor of Hitchens and the Spirits!

No! What do you think is the cause of these collective yawns because of my approach?
For the same reason young women's eyes dialate when i come near, or security guards go for their weapons. Pretty much any reason is plausible, except for the intervention of things which do not exist.

Your interactions with the spirit realm are self-reported to be gas, muscle twitches, and inducing boredom.

Got anything else?
 
I will study scientific skepticism with the help of artificial intelligence! Thank you all! Best wishes!!
Hommes. It's easy. When you see something strange, ask yourself if there is a logical explanation that accounts for it BEFORE you start introducing spirits into the equation.
 
The first phenomenon is the following, when I stand in a doorway, after a few minutes my right shoulder trembles! I think this is caused by spirits that want to pass through the door! When the spirits are passing through my body, the trembling occurs! What do you think?
Seriously? Let is imagine for a moment that spirits want to go through a doorway. Why do they want to go through the doorway? Why then? Why are you standing in a doorway for minutes on end anyway? What, in the material world, impedes a spirit? If they can pass through your body, why can't they pass through a closed door or a wall, or next to your body instead of through it? What is the dimension of a spirit? If you stand back, and let the impatient spirit pass, does your shoulder still tremble? If you turn around, does your left shoulder tremble instead of your right?

While we're at it, how do you know people stop yawning when you leave? Can you trust them to tell the truth any better than others can trust you? What is their observation? One thing you might want to think about is what possible reason the spirits that walk with you would have for making people yawn, considering that it seems a pretty useless enterprise which has accomplished nothing. Nobody seems to be convinced except you, and it's likely you didn't need any more.

Are those the same spirits that push through you in doorways? It seems odd, to say the least, that they throttle back once you're in the open. Do they turn around and come back?

Your spirits seem not to behave in a way that is either consistent or useful. Have you thought of just telling them to buzz off and leave you alone?
 
The other unusual phenomenon is the following, when I get close to people, they start to yawn, and when I leave they stop yawning! I think the cause of the yawning is the approach of spirits that walk with me, the spirits are invisible!

Very strange, my interactions with spirits are mainly exemplified by unplanned internet purchases.

Do you get muscle tremors when you're not standing in a doorway? Do you ever stand in a doorway and not get a tremor? Have you ever used a stopwatch to time how long it takes? Is it always the same length of time?

I suggest that if you're standing in a doorway waiting for and expecting your shoulder to tremble, it's going to do exactly that at some point. After all, you only stop waiting for it when it happens.

Also, there are a number of causes of essential tremor, and what you are describing sounds to this non-expert like that. I myself have an essential tremor that gives me shaky hands. It's neurological, not spirits.

Alternatively, the explanation could be that people yawn all the time, and you just notice it when you're near them.
 
You encounter spirits in doorways not because the spirits are passing through the doorway, but because spirits inhabit liminal places. Doorways, aka thresholds, are liminal places. They're neither in the home office (or whatever room is on one side) nor in the S&M dungeon (or whatever room is on the other side). If it's an exterior doorway, they're neither indoors nor outdoors. If it's the refrigerator door, the light is neither on nor off. Spirits, being neither alive nor dead, neither material nor immaterial, neither real nor unreal, are liminal beings (and nonbeings) themselves.

The tremor in your right shoulder, assuming you are right handed, represents your will to take action (the largest muscles that move your dominant arm being symbolic of that) that the spirits are stimulating in an ambiguous liminal way (a tremor being movement but with no force or direction). It's up to you to figure out what the spirits want you to do. But if you listen very hard, the tune will come to you at last when all is one and one is all, to be a rock and not to roll.

1, Why stand in a doorway for a few minutes? Are you a security guard? Do you work at a movie theater tearing ticket stubs? Who does this?
2. Why would spirits use a door? If, as you've previously stated, they are interdimensional then why not enter through the wall, floor, ceiling, or windows? How can spirits possess all these powers you've claimed they have, yet limit themselves to doorway entries?
3.If spirits are non-corporeal entities, as you've stated, then why not go around, or over your head, or between your feet? Why go through you?
4. Can you also feel radio waves? Can you feel microwaves? Can you feel low levels of radiation pass through you? What about the odd neutron? Why can you only feel spirits pass through your body?

Just your friendly neighborhood ghost hunter asking questions.
