^I think he's talking about leftists. Temper tantrums, talking to themselves (echo chamber), pedos touching people at night, rioting bang on walls.

Quote:You know what’s harder to believe than a ghost? It’s a ghost, presumably the spirit of someone who passed on to the afterlife only to return to the real world to repeatedly open a closed window, I assume for as long as the window sits in its frame.

Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? Do you think it just freelance ghosting? Not under orders, just pick a door and slam it continuously. What possible benefit to ghost or man does that provide? Hinge testing? Window hardware reliability check?

There are many theories. Some suggest that these paranormal activities are manifestations of past events performed over and over again as they were back then. Others say ghosts are doing these things to get our attention, as indeed it has in this now world famous video. The point is not to dismiss the phenomenon just because we don't understand it,. If we did that we'd never discover anything new.

Lots of people don't understand magic tricks either. Doesn't mean we should take them as serious topics of inquiry.

Everybody understands they are just tricks. Paranormal phenomena are not at all tricks. It's always the anomalies that when studied result in global paradigm shifts. How a window latch swings thru the air by itself and the window then opens would be one of those.

Nah, just simple tricks to fool dumb animals.

Asked AI : Do most.mental patients believe in ghosts.

Ans:
No, it's not accurate to say "most" mental patients believe in ghosts; however, supernatural beliefs, including belief in spirits or ghosts, are common in the general population and can be more frequent in individuals with severe mental health conditions, particularly psychotic disorders, where the line between reality and delusion can blur. For people experiencing psychosis, attributing symptoms like hearing voices or seeing shadows to supernatural causes like ghosts is a common way to make sense of these experiences.

Don't think MR is crazy because he gives me the impression that he's just playing us. However I find this habit may contribute to the frailty of those disposed to believing things without proof or who do not consult science for explanations.
