My family checked oout all kind of possiblilites. Far too many of the extended family witnessed this things.
    I'm not trying to make you believe, but why do come on here telling me that what my family experienced has to have some other explanation? Group hullucienations. Now doesn't that sound like some far reach conjecture? I don't see where that even comes close to human interaction with whatever was in this house.

    How can you honestly say you can analyze any information presented here when you obviously have a leaning against any of these reports. Open up you mind and look at this objectively, not with your slant.

    What makes you the authority to JUDGE (your words not miine) my family's experience in 1970. The mind can play tricks, but there was physical evidence.

    This is one reason why I haven't been around this forum for some time. There are so many experts here, I can't imagine how the world existed before you all were born.

    You sir are no expert in this subject, so stop playing the part.
    You are severely missing my point. You are asking me to believe in something supernatural for which there has never any reliable, repeatable, peer reviewed evidence for. I have seen first hand the wonder of what science has been able to achieve. In this case I consider the lack of evidence to be evidence which we can reasonably due when evidence should be present. Literally any natural explanation is more likely since supernatural things have not been proven to exist. I would sooner except that fairies or aliens were behind your experiences. I am not making a joke here. I would much sooner accept that aliens or fairies did it. As both are at least possible given what I know about the universe. I am not claiming any ultimate knowledge. The world did and does do fine without me. It would not have gotten to the place we are today if people had continued to believe supernatural reasons for the things that occur in nature. Advances have and do come when people reject supernatural explanations for lack of evidence and search out and follow the evidence. You asked me to open my mind. I am doing just that. I am open to a whole host of possible explanations with ghosts at the bottom do to their supernatural nature. You have rejected all possible explanations in favor of the first thing that made since based on ghost stories. For the record magicians have been performing illusions for centuries. You don't need electronics to fake a ghost. I implore you to take your own advice. Look at this objectively. With that I am out. If you want to continue you can message me privately. If you respond to this post I will respond to your privately.
