    Now you're not talking about psychics? :huh: You're a skeptic about mythical creatures? How does that relate to the discussion of psychics?

    Mythical creatures* - ghosts (a myth) - psychics "communicate" with ghosts

    *ghosts are not really creatures though, but they are a myth (until proven otherwise, if ever)

    Where is PM? :huh: I am waiting.... :unsure:

    I have no idea! I PM-ed PM 3 days ago!

    I'll wait until tomorrow and if he doesn't show up, would you consider drawing?

    Then I'll take seeksit and put him after you so Grayven could go last to wrap it up.

    And if Marth shows up later he would have to go before Grayven and then I would still have to find one more player, but that's not a problem :)

    So they might not be /making up/ things, but that still in no way means anyone should think what they're broadcasting is the truth.

    No I meant that they are using true facts in their documentaries and anyone has a liberty to make conclusions of their own.

    It seems to me like you never watched any of it, I don't mean about psychic witnesses, but any documentaries on Discovery Channel (any kind of murder series) cause otherwise you would have known that they offer many explanations, but never claim that something is the truth unless it really has been determined exactly how something went down (again I'm not talking about psychics).

    This is my final post in this topic since I'm constantly being misinterpreted so it futile to post here and constantly repeat that I'm a skeptic when it comes down to mythical creatures, but who's listening?? :rolleyes:

    Of course they do. Exaggeration = more exciting = more viewers = more money. It's still all television.

    By exaggerate I meant make up things like they do it all the time in the news, that's what I meant. :rolleyes:

    Andromeda, the same Discovery Channel that airs A Haunting, and similar bogus ghost stories? ;)

    We in Europe have a different Discovery program than Americans. I have never heard of A Hunting! :lol: besides Discovery only retells the stories they never claim that it's true! By mentioning Discovery I meant they have no reason to exaggerate.

    That's what the Discovery Channel and affiliates are good at: raising unfounded and unprovable scenarios that do not stand the scientific "repeatability" test but cannot, like the existence of God, be disproven. It simply requires common sense to judge whether these phenomena actually function in the real world. I've seen too many psychics of various sorts put to the test under controlled circumstances, and fail to demonstrate skill beyond random chance. Sure, there will be the odd "miracle". If you are able to cherry-pick your anecdotes after the fact, you can always make it look like there's something substantial to your claim (whatever claim you want to make). But listen to the skeptics, do not close your mind :)

    Yeah... but we are not entirely familiar with everything in the real world, are we??

    Well given what we do know about the real world, psychics are nothing but gibberish, but we don't REALLY know everything about the REAL world now, do we??

    Read my signature! We still don't know how far the realm of science extends, do we??

    And just for your information, I'm a skeptic, but I choose not to be deaf and blind!

    But how many times have these 'psychics' failed otherwise?

    There are a lot of fakes so I wouldn't know?!

    They could have easily either had something to do with the crime, or were tipped off.

    Don't be silly. :lol:

    Have we actually ever had this happen, where the psychic could have not known in any possibly way where the body was, other than by 'talking' to it?

    Like I said I was watching the "Psychic Witness" series on Discovery channel and there was some pretty awesome stuff.

    If that is true, why aren't ghosts seeking these people out all the time?

    I'll tell you someday when I turn ghost! :P

    You know what would be interesting? A murder 'solved' by a 'psychic', murderer jailed and all, later to be proved impossible by DNA testing or something.

    Well if the psychic that works on a certain case is bogus it might easily turn out that way.

    You know, just because most of them are fake doesn't mean that all of them are.

    You still didn't answer my question though :lol: I didn't ask about what-ifs and maybes I asked how could have they unmistakably known where the body is?!

    So no guessing, no involvement in the crime, no tipping off (??) no trial and error but unmistakably knowing where the body is! There were cases when the psychic witness knew exactly by following the directions, and remember this was on Discovery channel!

    I'm just saying that when these situations do occur, they never say how many wrong turns they took before finding the body or whatever the case may be.

    I'm not talking about wrong turns. I'm talking about a streak of right turns :)

    Also you only find them stories on like the back of page 10 in your local newspaper. If it were truly a gifted expierience then it would probably make national, if not worldwide news, because that would be quite impressive.

    I wouldn't know I don't live in America. But I have to admit that I don't remember a psychic ever working on a murder case in Serbia, at least it was never mentioned.

    I'm not saying that any of it about psychic witnesses is true, all I'm saying is that it's interesting enough to raise an eyebrow and make you wonder. :)

    Why not solve every murder mystery then??

    Well I don't think it works that way. The "dead" people approach the clairvoyant people not vice versa. They can't choose what to see. That's what they say at least. But you still didn't offer me an explanation. How come that some mediums know where the dead body is located?? What is your opinion, cause you basically answered my question with a question.

    So, if you think your seeing ghosts, get your eyes checked.

    If you are talking to ghosts, maybe go see a psychiatrist.

    I have seen the reenactment documentary shows on Discovery channel (reenactments of real events) and if clairvoyant people are making things up, how come that they can take the law enforcement officers at the exact spot where the dead body is?? :huh:

    - when some1 tells you the wrong time when the right time is much, much earlier than that. (this happened last night at the airport)

    When people are using numbers to write... is it so hard to write 'someone'?? :rolleyes:
