Wait, how did those "several trustworthy sources" demonstrate that they saw Lincoln's ghost, that it was in fact a ghost and what a ghost actually is?Yet, from the frequency of these experiences, it can easily be deduced that there have been millions of such incidents throughout mankind’s history!
I provided a website…. a Wikipedia article, no less…. that gave details concerning just one entity (Lincoln’s ghost) verified by several trustworthy witnesses.
You sir choose to ignore the ubiquitous nature of such evidences. They are found throughout every culture worldwide.
I’ll grant you, there are many fraudulent accounts, with greed as the motive. But not every single one!
To support my pov, I just need one to be genuine…
To support yours, you need them all to be faked!
Just the posters on RF alone, who’ve had such experiences, are enough to question your accusation of all of their experiences being “irrational”.
No, you didn’t. And they didn’t….don’t.
You’d have to ask them, but I would guess because the entity looked like Lincoln.Wait, how did those "several trustworthy sources" demonstrate that they saw Lincoln's ghost, that it was in fact a ghost and what a ghost actually is?
"We saw something that we're calling a ghost" tells us just about nothing about what actually occurred and what was actually seen. That part needs to actually be demonstrated.
You’d have to ask them, but I would guess because the entity looked like Lincoln.
I have a question, though: as most people believe they are seeing a dead person’s spirit, with clothes and all …. just how do clothes turn into spirit? Shouldn’t the dead, if that is them, really be naked?
People are observing something, but not dead people’s spirits. It’s a very common deception.
No, that doesn’t support your POV, at all. You assert these ones, like Churchill, Queen Wilhelmina, etc., did not observe anything that really exists. That it’s all in their mind.That question speaks directly to the point I'm trying to make to you about your assertions.
Do you have an answer for it?
Hallucinations resulting from faults in the human nervous system would be a much simple deception.No, that doesn’t support your POV, at all. You assert these ones, like Churchill, Queen Wilhelmina, etc., did not observe anything that really exists. That it’s all in their mind.
These experiences are real, but they’re not observing or speaking with the dead.
The dead are dead.
These spirit entities are impostering the dead, promoting the idea that life goes on ‘in another realm’, after death.
it’s an elaborate deception.
I asserted no such thing. Perhaps you should read my post again.No, that doesn’t support your POV, at all. You assert these ones, like Churchill, Queen Wilhelmina, etc., did not observe anything that really exists. That it’s all in their mind.
