For some reason, I really enjoy watching “ghost hunting” television
programs. There quite a few different
shows available on various channels at this point. I prefer the type of program that seeks to
debunk as a first step. I don’t find as
much value in mediums, electronic “voice translating” devices, or photographs
of orbs.
I don’t even know what I really believe at this point.
In my viewing of these programs, I have seen some compelling
evidence. Shadow figures caught on
video. Disembodied voices clearly heard
by the ghost hunters and clearly recorded.
Stationary objects abruptly moving or seemingly tossed in the air. Occasionally, what might be an apparition.
Last night, I watched a show where the most “compelling” evidence
was a toy remote control car that came to like and crawled ahead a couple
inches on occasion.
We are talking cheap electronics here. A television remote, garage door opener,
walkie talkie—just about anything—could trigger a toy car to blip to life.
Dolls with porcelain heads and cloth bodies: scary.
Remote control cars from Walmart: not scary.
