I dunno about that. I've met a few poltergeists in my lifetime. Fortunately they were not the evil kind.

Posters 1,3,5, and 6, sorry to see that you are such closed-minded boobs, not just about the existence of things that have been theorized but not proven, but about the worthiness of a post about it. And screw you morons for making me stand up for McDuffee.

pumpkinhead, ghosts have never been theorized, at least not in the physics of our world. Someone saying "what if ghosts are real?" is not theorizing about the existence of ghosts.

Blair, thank you for setting me straight that not one person has ever theorized that ghosts may exist, and that all these people run around the world investigating ghost phenomena because none of them theorize that ghosts exist.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, however, and assume that you mean that the study of ghost phenomena is not a mainstream study in the area of physics, and there is no treatise that is accepted in the mainsteam on the subject of how ghost phenomena correlates with our established principals of physics, which indeed may be the case.

Screw you nonetheless, however, for making me use a weenie word like "phenomena" three times. Drat, four times.

I have to admit pumpkinhead is right.

Ghosts are as real as god. Everything about both of them applies. So if you believe in god you can't say that ghosts are nonexistent.

By the way, I myself am a Pastafari.

Cool, Bash. Thanks for the support. All hail the Flying Spaghetti monster.

I am surprised you wasted a comment on a blog about TV shows. THEY ARE ALL FICTION. Really, if you want quality, logic, and reasoning... start between your ears.

"Blair, thank you for setting me straight that not one person has ever theorized that ghosts may exist, and that all these people run around the world investigating ghost phenomena because none of them theorize that ghosts exist."

It's a late response I admit, but I feel I have to respond. They might think that ghosts exist, but that is not theorizing about their existence. In fact, it's not even hypothesizing about the existence of ghost. Unless you have a scientific basis for your hypothesis, or empirical evidence which cannot be explained by existing science, there's no science involved and so there's no theory involved. Therefore, ghosts have never been "theorized."

Actually Blair, ghosts have only never been theorized if we follow your rigid and stupid definition. I mean, we can first debate the fact that experiments could be devised which investigate ghosts from a social-scientific point of view. Then we can note that since a hypothesis is just a testable question and they are testing it however badly and coming to conclusions however shaky they do in fact have theories.

And finally we can conclude by looking up the definition of "Theory," (dictionary.com) and noting that what these people do match several of them, thus disproving your claim Blair from both a descriptivist and proscriptivist standpoint.

Can't prove a negative. Anyone past the age of five with 1/3rd the brainpower of a gnat understands that.

The onus is on you to prove they DO exist. We all anxiously await your results.

Ghost "hunting" is retard science for the colossally ignorant.

Malren, a bunch of posters have stated definitively that ghosts don't exist. I think Tim is just challenging them to state the basis of their certainty, since they are so sure ghosts don't exist that they have vehemently impugned the intelligence of anyone who is open-minded about the possibility that they do exist. But I'm sure you already understand that, clearly having at least 2/3 the intelligence of a gnat yourself.
