Thus in a short period of time it's possible to create reasonable doubt. That's all I have to do.

Or unreasonable doubt, which seems to suffice for you.

It is your job, not mine, to have us all interpret your evidence the way you want us to. 

No offence MR, but you haven't been able to convince Syne & I and we're only 2 people in the world. Your task is daunting to say the least. I don't know if you realize just how perfect you have to be, try 100%. I'm not LMAO because I truly want you to make me believe that your saying the truth. However I won't be easy. 

That's it until the next instalment. Good nite.

No..it's only my job to present the evidence. It's your jobs as skeptics to debunk it in any way you can in order to defend your world view. A job you are increasingly becoming less and less good at.

No offence MR, but you haven't been able to convince Syne & I

Yeah..something something about nothing's gonna change my world. We got it Zin. You're not about to allow yourself to be convinced. Which doesn't say much for your objectivity on the matter.

I don't want to get into the psychology of posters but I find the feigned laughter acronyms (i.e. LMAO) when used in a post response can be the equivalent of being dumbfounded, especially when your belief gauge suddenly has the 'service engine' light turn on. 

This PC and I are all I have as tools to dissect one of MR's visual recordings. No fancy equipment, just basic knowledge of how things work. Thus in a short period of time it's possible to create reasonable doubt, which is all I have to do.

Yeah, I read a forced discomfort to such laughter. Doesn't have anything to do with anyone's psychology, just how it comes across in context.

Yep, barring extraordinary evidence, reasonable doubt of an extraordinary claim is more than sufficient. The burden is on the unusual claim, not the assumption of typical, mundane experience.

Classic projection, where the true believer projects his dogmatic beliefs in the paranormal on others' acceptance of everyday experience. But he fails to realize that people aren't dogmatic about common, everyday experience, because everyone pretty much agrees on that. Then he shifts the burden of proof for his extraordinary claim onto simple and mundane ones and has to delude himself that his threshold of proof is somehow lower than what everyone experiences every day. And he just proclaims mundane explanations unfit without ever even bothering to try to explain away the points they elucidate.

He seems to deny all but one lighting change.
He has to make up nonsense like "strings that push" in a vain attempt to refute, you know, strings that pull.
He claims there's no one else in a room of which he can only see a portion.
He completely ignores the lazy door sound and the camera bump, supposedly with no one in the room.

Like atheists often accuse the religious explaining everything as "God did it", he simply proclaims "ghosts did it". A true believer by any name is just as dogmatic.

the lazy door sound

Bwahahahah! Oops. Excuse me. No laughing allowed.

the lazy door sound

Bwahahahah! Oops. Excuse me. No laughing allowed.

Yes, lazy, as in "moving slowly : sluggish". https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lazy
What, are you completely unaware of that definition of the word? O_o

I get that you're much more familiar with the sort of laziness you employ in lieu of arguments. And it really is funny the way you make a fool of yourself in a vain attempt to ridicule others.

LOL! You don't even get how stupid you sound. A lazy door sound? Seriously? Is that what it comes down to? Like it's a fake door sound now? You're insane.

Methinks you ladies doth protest too much. It's just an innocent video by a young soldier who caught something amazing happening. Something so amazing it forces us to rethink how we view our reality. I get why you both are scrutinizing everything in it for signs of fakery. Just relax. This is just one of those big mysteries of a reality we cannot even comprehend yet. The paranormal is quite real. It's all around us. And life goes on just like normal, with maybe just a touch more trepidation.

Who said anything was "fake"? That's just another straw man you have to make to defend your beliefs. And that's not "what it comes down to", as we've listed a whole slew of things you can't or won't bother to address or even acknowledge is clearly in the video. Here they are again:

1. Multiple lighting changes, not associated with anything strange moving and completely explainable by automatic exposure.
2. Camera gets bumped when there's supposedly no one in the room...much of which we cannot see.
3. The sound of the door is not hurried or slammed, as someone might make if actually scared.
4. Everything could be done by two strings, pulling in each direction, and this explains the lack of force in closing the door, due to the oblique angle forced by proximity to the wall.

You haven't made a single credible argument to rebut any of these. You just keep effectively saying "ghosts did it".
It's you who is protesting against all reasonable explanation, but with zero argument why anyone should think so. You're not "rethink[ing] how we view our reality", as you've obviously believed in this stuff for many years. You're just defending your dogmatic beliefs.

You're basically just proselytizing.
You're a religious nut job.

religious
: relating to or manifesting faithful devotion to an acknowledged ultimate reality

Two strings. lol! Hey everybody! It's the invisible puppetmaster! Was there a string tied to his blanket on his bed too? That'd be three invisible strings stretched across a room the kid moves about freely in.

Here's the video again. Notice all the "strings" the soldier never notices as he inspects the scene...lol!

[Syne]

Never notices, or pretends aren't there?
Could be a third string on the blanket, or just the first one across the bed and moving the blanket when being pulled taut.
I don't know, and neither do you, which is why you can't eliminate simple explanations.
Not hard for fishing line to be invisible on a very poor quality video. Where are the HD videos of the paranormal? O_o
