Re: Ghosts?

Bruce,
How exactly will you verify something in a casual discussion forum on the Internet? How does one verify a ghost story anyway? I'd say the nature of the medium and the nature of the topic make verification pretty difficult.

I started the thread with a light heart; I laid out my reasons; I was curious if there was any "official" or general macro perspective on the supernatural. Since no one was answering, really...I offered these stories in the same light hearted spirit. I'm sure if you want to look up parapsychology you could find a whole lot of what you are looking for (scientific studies, etcetera).

There does seem to be some consensus and belief in ESP in macrobiotics. Does this belief tend to go along with a belief in ghosts as well? Does one support the other? Maybe you have an opinion. What about Jung and his coincidences (Syncronicities)? Jung was preoccupied with dreams and symbolism but macrobiotics would dismiss most dreams as imbalanced states. With the exception of "true" dreams, that is. But I digress. Perhaps we ought to have a new thread, for supernatural in general, or psychic phenomena?
