There's not proof for anything huge and wierd, but if you ever have seen one, you would think everyone who says there not real are crazy.Anecdotal and observational evidence is not proof of existence.

Right, because observation isn't the driving force behind science. Stick to teaching music and leave science for the people who know what they're talking about.
It isn't. Observation might be cause to investigate and test things, but it certainly doesn't prove anything of substance. People used to think unicorns existed, when clearly they do not.

Please respond to my previous post. I'm curious to see what you say.

I find that Teh-Ziod is NOT attractive for the reasons
she/he does not correct format sentences, therefore for intelligent matured members of society that may interact with her/him, may find her/him UNattractive for the reason that she/he does not comprehend with their level to successfully have a conversation therefore it will be socially an awkward interaction which may be wanted to be avoided

second i do not find it physically possible for a PERSON to be a ice cream truck.

No one doesn't want to join me in singing the Ghostbusters theme song? Come on...

Do i believe in "ghosts" per se no, but ive experienced something first hand that cant be explained so yes i believe in something paranormal, and to an extent yes ghosts. First hand experience has led me to this, creepy as hell when something happens to you.

I feel bad for people with no faith
Who needs faith when there's math and science?

For the things math and science can't prove, nor discredit.

If science and math can't prove it, I'm highly skeptical of its existence.

Skepticism is good, but if science and math neither say that it exists, nor that it doesn't exist, why do you automatically assume that it doesn't exist? Science and math only reside in the first 4 dimensions (to our knowledge), and anything outside those 4 are up for debate. How are you so sure that ghosts are in any of our 4 dimensions? Why can't they be in a 5th that sometimes interlaps with ours?
Because, like ghosts, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. There is no evidence outside of questionable observational evidence and likely doctored photos, videos, and audio recordings. No peer-reviewed publications support the existence of ghosts. If they do, please cite them now.

How do you expect everything to be explainable when you have such an incomplete understanding of the natural world? (Also note that this isn't a personal insult or anything: everybody has a very incomplete understanding of the natural world.)

You're stuck in this "if it doesn't exist in our 4 dimensions, it doesn't exist at all." Are you denying the theories that there could be more than 4? We are 4-dimensional creatures and science can go only as far as we are able to go with it. Proving or disproving that ghosts exist is different than anything else. You cannot simply put a ghost into a lab and test to see its properties. You cannot recreate and experiment with one like you can with other physical things. You can't just put it in a box and see what it does. Therefore, science cannot determine its existence (or nonexistence).

I understand this i dont know what it was, it was not normal what i saw, i wouldnt call it ghosts, as in the spirits of the dead. But it certainly was paranormal, still freaked me the hell out never the less.

"Life is constantly fleeting from your grasp even from the very day it's bestowed upon you, but the shadow of death is always there, waiting for its chance to take you away."

"Even though many may not think so, ignorance and innocence are one and the same. The only difference is that one sounds nicer."

"I once knew a man who spent his entire life contemplating where we go after our death....it's a shame he realized it a second too late to tell anyone."

Three type of people in this argument:

Those who believe.

Those who don't, but are intelligent enough to keep an open mind.

Those who reject any and all possibility because they're too tied into their little concrete world to think any differently.

I'll ask you this again in more direct terms:

How you can know it's paranormal if you don't know everything that's normal?

Where's the "Unsure" option, or "Open to the idea" option? Jeez everyone on this site sucks at making polls. There's more than just single black and white answers, you know!

It was not a normal experience for me, so there for was outside the norm of what ive come to expect. For me it was not normal for someone else it may have been.

i like you, your not being brutal with this and you raise a great point we don't know everything about our own world, the smartest people don't either nobody does and that is why nobody can deny or confirm anything just believe it is kinda wonderful really.

Many of the things in theoretical physics are outside my normal experiences, and yet I don't decry them as supernatural.
