A Hampton Court Ghost

[smoke]

Possibly the ghost of xmas past heading out on 2003 scrouge patrol.

Altho he looks surprisingly solid and corporeal.

Honestly I don't get what the big deal is (my own mother just e-mailed me a link to this story asking if I could explain it). I mean, it doesn't even LOOK like a ghost photo, it looks like a photo of some guy in a robe...... there isn't even anything ethereal about it. And the guy is opening the doors (why would a ghost need to or want to do that)?

A security video was mentioned--all we've seen is a still photo--I'd like to see the video.

This is just words and anecdotes that mean nothing! Besides this goes against materialism and the skeptical world view so it is impossible and false and we know that as a fact! The guards were just halucinating due to their own wishful thinking that there are magical ghosts! The picture is a clear fake I can do that in photoshop in less than 6 minutes!

Debunked!!!!!!!!!!!

It's idiots like you that give other skeptics a bad name..... Seriously, people can take a post such as yours and say something such as "see, this is how close minded skeptics are".....
At least other skeptics on here give explanations regarding what they think it might be. As far as my opinion, well, it doesn't prove that it's a ghost, nor does it prove that it isn't., therefore the current evidence given is inconclusive.

Fine then let's get irrational and play into the believers fairy tales and delusions! That is just what they want us to do but we don't have to take their nonsensical quackery serious and consider any bull ◊◊◊◊ that they call evidence! If we even take this nonsense into consideration then we will soon be taking the tooth fairy into consideration! There is no paranormal science clearly tells us this and makes it a fact so to think otherwise would be to hate science! It is beliefs like this that separates the smart and dumb but us skeptics happen to be the smart ones!

Praise materialism in all it's rational glory in a non-religious way!

That's funny, I know alot of people with high levels of degrees who are extremely intelligent who believe in the possibility of things beyond our 5 physical senses. To be honest with you, I'd hope to God(or whoever) that no other skeptics on this board think like you do. ... Perhaps you are only on here to make a mockery of skeptics. I honestly can't take your posts seriously, and I don't think anyone can.
I'd feel really sorry for you if you were half way serious in regards to what you are saying.

Then those people are not being rational! Rational thinking above all else! As skeptics we must not take these rubish claims serious without dissmissing them because if we do who knows what else the kooks will want us to take seriously! Any rational skeptic here knows as a fact that the paranormal doesn't exist because of science so there is no reason to analyze fraud and delusions but I have already debunked this case of woo-wooism!

Best article on the ghost I've seen so far must be from today's The Sun newspaper (http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2003583270,00.html). I can't resist quoting a few lines from it...

Apparently, it "could be the ghost of notorious King Henry VIII, experts said last night". Who are these experts? "Leading authority Terry O’Sullivan ... the College of Psychic Studies’ top expert on ghosts". Right. And he adds that it's highly significant that it was filmed back in October, because "the period around Hallowe’en is the most active for apparitions of this kind. It is the time of the year when the veil between this world and the other world is at its thinnest. I find it entirely believable that this was the ghost of Henry VIII".

That's enough. I'm giggling too much to type.

If it was up to you, we would have never flown, because your close mind would have said
"it can never be done, it's not rational to think we can fly".

If it were up to you, we would have never sailed, because your close mind would have said
"the world is flat, it's not rational to think that the world is round"

If it were up to you, we would have never discovered be pondering such beautiful theoretical concepts like string theory, because your close mind would have said,
"the idea of other dimensions makes no sense to my rational mind"

and I could go on and on and on and on.....

LOL, I just wrote a poem. I think I'll keep it .... ...Nope, your thinking doesn't sound too intelligent to me, better check your IQ.

None of this matters because through science we know that materialism is the correct world view! Materialism is a scientific fact and the paranormal is impossible within materialism which discredits it so we must reject everything supernatural!

Don't tell me that you also believe in the irrational woo-woo concept of dreaming!???????????????????????????????

Dreaming does not exist just like ghosts don't exist!

 

[geni]

SAC_KINGS_FAN as far as we have been able to work out !Xx+-Rational-+xX! is joking.

 

[SAC_KINGS_FAN]

Don't tell me that you also believe in the irrational woo-woo concept of dreaming!????????????????????????????

Sure I have lucid dreams every week. Not only do I dream, but I can control many of them and do whatever I want to do in them by programming myself through various exercises I learned in a book the night before..... If you don't dream, then you are obviously not a human being....

Let me also ask you this question, how do you know that what appears to be real life isn't some type of dream??? Where is your proof of that not being true?


Just playing the devil's advocate due to your irrationality.

There is no evidence for dreams so remember the skeptic saying that "it's irrational to believe in anything that isn't proven"! Do you have any evidence besides anecdotes!?

Life isn't a dream because materialism is true and because of Occam's Razor but I won't get into disproving negative claims like this and Santa Claus!

Nobody has ever dreamed!

I don't need to prove what I already know is true. If you don't believe it, then that's your problem.

Anecdotel, it does not matter what people think they know what should be accepted depends on evidence! Geni just may have a point there but I will never tell anyone for sure!

Well then, if I don't know if someone is joking or not joking, then it's not worth me wasting my time with.

You are such a woowoo kookball believer..it ain't real...

Seriously..how long did you think you could carry on posting, like you do...and people not realise...

All you are doing is pathetically trying to make fun of members here...and the quicker people realise that fact..the better...

Get back to the John Edward board...or Shadowlands board...

You might be foolin' the slower minded here...but not me..

You are nothing but a Kook believer, who thinks he has found a new angle of attack...

Think you're smart...

Nah...obviously not...

I thought ghosts only appear as orbs in photographs.
