Welcome to Gaia! ::

Some people can't stand the thought that something like a ghost may even exist, specific reasons tend to differ. Then again, he/she may have thought you were losing it and tried to (if you were indeed delusional) knock some sense into you. I would suggest asking "do you believe in ghosts?" before talking about them, you get attacked less often. xd

Baron, had it ever occured to you that just because I don't always post my observations/thoughts, it doesn't mean I'm randomly making things up? I'd get more random results that way, like a spaghetti monster. Example: zombies practically can't exist scientifically. They would have to have some kind of brain to give commands to the body, like "stretch out your arm to catch that guy, then open your mouth to bite" or "left foot, right foot, left foot...". If they're undead the heart no longer pumps blood, blood no longer reaches the brain, and it can't function any further to give the orders. However, a parasite or something that creates it's own nevous system throughout the body could concievably pump it's own blood and give it's own commands, reanimating the corpse.
I may have missed something in there, but that's no "straw man".

They were merely an example.
