@Rarebear It’s difficult (understatement) to present my case since it relies on a host of collective evidence and courtroom logic. I’m not going to convince anybody of anything simply by posting links and using courtroom type logic. It’s also difficult because most sceptics would not even be familiar with a good deal of paranormal terminology.
I’m a member of a few paranormal forums, and I get pounded for asking tough questions myself. Chances are I’ve already asked the same questions (if not more) than you. Pertaining to physical mediumship, despite infrared photos demonstrating some alleged phenomena, I could never understand why these seances weren’t recorded with infrared recording equipment in a laboratory enviroment.
I’d questioned the Scole protocols too. I also can’t figure out why or how a medium such as Michelle Whitedove can demonstrate amazing abilities on national tv such as finding a body buried in a large area of land underground, or in a car trunk on a car lot, but yet a protocol hasn’t been set up to demonstrate these abilities in a more scientific setting. I’ve looked at the frauds, flaws and no gos in some experimental procedures, but it’s still difficult for me to dismiss everything. I have received a range of possible answers for the above questions, but these are not going to pass muster with someone who’s already sceptical. I know this because I was very antiparanormal at one time myself.
I was so antiparanormal that it used to anger me when someone would just simply read me my horoscope. I can justify your scepticism, but obviously we ended up having different opinions about these issues.
