Scientific reason for seeing spooks?

I found this article ridiculous. MSNBC.com is where this article can be found. It is absolutely the most riduculous explanation for seeing unexplained things. Good grief.

I wouldn't even want my name associated with that article. I understand that in a lot of cases there are rational explanations, however, I have personally experienced some things that can not be rationalized away.

When I was 17, I was sitting in my Aunt's living room. Everyone else was outside, down by the lake, I was reading. I thought I heard something and when I looked up, I saw a large object floating into the living room from down the hall. It looked like a ball of light, about the size of a basketball. When it come close to the television, which was across the room from me, it kind of faded into the wall and disappeared.

I have never been in a psychotic state, used drugs and I certainly was not sleep deprived. I was just a teenager staying away from the parents. Just like some of the comments at the bottom of that page, if you don't believe, and you've never experienced it, then just go on not believing. If you have experienced it, you should not use denial to justify what you have seen or heard. Some people are more receptive to the paranormal activity, and I believe that is a gift.

A gift that could be used to help the rest of us understand the paranormal world. However, because there is really no way for us as human beings to PROVE beyond a shadow of a doubt that psychic ability exists, most of us deny that it exists.

Something I learned from watching X-files, is that for the believer, no proof is necessary and for the non-believer no proof is enough. It's a shame. I am very open minded. I would love to have more "experiences" than I have had. There have been more than just the one listed here. I actually have had an experience with an evil spirit that was "attached" to a chair that was in my home. It was hideous, but I digress. My point is, I have no proof. Some of you who read this will think I may be a little bit crazy, or that I am the riduculous one for believing that this stuff has actually happened to me.

To each his own, I say. And remember when your keys go missing, and you know for a FACT that you put them on the kitchen table before you went to bed, denial is your friend. You must have moved them in your sleep...or something like that. Just keep telling yourself that. Happy Halloween!!!
