Are ghosts real? -Genuine evidence from a sceptic

Cold reading is fraud in my opinion. I believe they should prosecute people for doing it and let's face it, it would be easy for someone with experience to tell - the only ones that would complain would be the dishonest fraudsters.

Only by stopping the cheats would the "real" psychics gain credibility, assuming they exist. If not, then it's the end of all the bull crap, and that's only a bad thing for the money grabbing exploiters of the weak minded and vulnerable.

Either that or there are no false pretenses, and it's made fully well known to customers that it is simply a trick.

i would not dismiss anything, as we really don't know how many "wavelengths" there are. It's difficult to prove as we don't know or have those receivers figured out as yet. If the universe is infinite (impossible to imagine) how can we dismiss invisible rays that some people pick up. how many things have not yet been discovered?

Ask peeps 500 years ago about mobile phones, TVs etc...what would they think/ say? you would burn for asking.

We can dismiss it outright on the basis that there is no evidence whatsover, no part of science could even vaguely support the theories of these loons. Why is it that the stories of ghost/sightings always fall similar to illustrations in books? It's like how alien sightings all look like prosthetic makeup from aliens from films. The BBC have run a long series dismissing these pyschics, as have channel 4 as have channel 5. If you pick up the book classed as the bible amongst psychics it talks openly about how much bull**** it is. Anyone who works in these arts in my mind is either a conartist, or as deluded as the people who believe it.

No evidence in science as it stands today, are you saying we know it all now? is there nothing left to be discovered?

No, but as the case with aliens science is open to it as it understands that it is possible. With ghosts however this is completely bonkers. It's such an arrogant viewpoint that humans would come back as ghosts, has no one an understanding of just how insignificant our time on the planet is?!

our significance is irrelevant, the possibilities are (infinite universe etc).

We live on a little planet that is a part of an infinite universe, there is plenty of room for plenty of souls
