Whereas your argument is more or less centered around more of a "I've seen no evidence of this, nor have I ever experienced anything which would leave me to believe in its existence" kind of position, which I can respect... However, your argument at least left me with the impression that you'd be open-minded to new evidence that suggested otherwise, whereas Frownland gave the impression of siding with disbelief (even after having experienced something possibly "paranormal") because he's more concerned about being "correct" than actually exploring the possibility that there may be something out there that current science cannot yet explain/measure/replicate. (Note to Frownland: I apologize if you were merely being self-effacing with your previous post, just trying to elaborate my stance to DeadC).

I haven't proofread this, and I typed it on my iPhone with man hands, so bring on the grammar nazis.
I am never self deprecating how dare you.
