I just can't get past this part. Do people seriously eat this shit up? I guess they do because that's why the show is on TV. The TV show isn't on to show ghosts or to show supernatural events...it's to make money. It's not a documentary, it's entertainment, and nothing on the show can be believed because of that. If this show were real then scientists and researchers would be all over the grounds that they've visited.

I am getting a vibe of "you can only experience these events if you want to." I think this is the dagger in the heart of such arguments. I really enjoy debating stuff like this with "believers" and trying to debunk supernatural or spiritual events, but I am very curious as to what you and others are actually experiencing. I wish there was a way to see what you see, to experience what you experience. I know that you wouldn't make up bullshit out of thin air, but I also know that a creative mind can go a long way. If you want to see or experience something bad enough then chances are it will happen in your lifetime if you get my meaning.
