Quote:Don't know if that counter is actually level
We can see in the video that the counter is level. The reporter even says it is a level surface. Do you know how slanted it would have to be for that tip jar to slide off it? Slanted enough to see, that's for sure. And then there's always the pencil cup next to it that doesn't move at all.

No, you can't "see" if something is perfectly level, nor would it take much with a vibration. But I highly doubt that it is glass or heavy, as you can see the guy pick it up with only his fingers, at 14 secs.
From watching it again, I'd suspect that a vibrating phone was in it, as it appears light weight, and the concentrated weight would keep it from tumbling to the floor.
But you go right on believing in your vaunted poltergeists, little buddy.

Yeah..it's a level counter, just like every counter in every shop everywhere is level. It's what counters do, provide a level surface that things can't slide off of. And like I said, for that glass jar, which is what the reporter said it was, to slide off of it it would have to be slanted enough to see. And then the pencil cup would slide off too. So much for that bullshit.

LOL! Wow..you really are desperate for anything to explain away the obvious.

The obvious? Oh, you mean "a ghost did it!"
Sure, whatever you say, little buddy.

Right...as documented in hundreds of paranormal investigations as well as in dozens of poltergeist accounts down thru history. Educate yourself.

As usual, the similarity between claiming the unexplained is caused by ghosts or god seems to completely elude you. At least most people who believe in god are sane enough to know better than claim there is proof when they have no compelling evidence. But then Republicans (as a stand-in for theists) understand science, and likely the criteria of evidence (even if only with respect to due process), better than Democrats.
"hundreds of paranormal investigations as well as in dozens of poltergeist accounts" is nothing but an argument ad populum.
I would echo your "educate yourself", but I know it would fall on deaf ears. The Dunning-Kruger effect will not allow you to apprehend the failure of your own estimations.

Then stay ignorant. Your opinions don't matter squat to me.
