• Quick note - the problem with Youtube videos not embedding on the forum appears to have been fixed, thanks to ZiprHead. If you do still see problems let me know.

How to explain this fact?

Ever heard of a thing called an obituary? I hear they even put them online nowadays. The medium could have researched prior to the event, or been introduced to the father and then went into the restroom to do some Internet research.

Or, any number of other non-supernatural explanations, many of which previous posters have already listed.

Are you admitting that you cannot provide the evidence Loss Leader asked for?



I doubt you're here to learn about skepticism. You can't unspring the trap just because it didn't catch anyone and expect it to work again.

What would be evidence for you?

We're past that. You outed yourself. Now you're on the hook as a claimant. Present the evidence that Loss Leader asked for, or admit you cannot.

I hope you don't have pseudo-skepticism.

If you choose to withhold evidence, then no one has the obligation to attempt to explain your claim, or even to take you very seriously.

I don't. I'm attempting to draw a conclusion based on evidence instead of on the claim. You refuse to provide the evidence I'm asking for, so I have no obligation to give you a conclusion. Right now you are unable to provide any evidence that your story even happened at all. No one is therefore obliged to believe it did.
 
For some reason there is something about eyewitness evidence that this reminds me of. As we all know, eyewitness evidence is the least reliable evidence. Often, we see what we want to see and search for similarity. There is nothing paranormal about it. Just my opinion.

Quit playing games. Either supply the evidence we asked for or admit that you will not.

To say there is no evidence in an absence of study is an appeal to ignorance.
This is called abductive inference. It is a weak form of inference where one only finds what one is looking for.

No, this has nothing to do with your refusal to provide evidence. Either supply the evidence we asked for or admit that you will not.

The medium created the drawing, in my house and in the presence of twenty witnesses of the portrait of a young woman who had been dead for eighteen months and whom he did not know, a portrait recognized by the young woman's father present at the session.

My explanation: This did not happen.
