ORIGINAL: MissMorrigan Sub frenzy must be the new red, Wheldrake, it seems most on the scene/posting in the forums are wearing it these days. I'm not sure that I believe in ghosts either (I've never seen one), nor enough to disprove them. What is interesting is that when you have four persons of varying religions, careers and ages, and none of them with a belief in the paranormal and who all witness a specific event but each individual's details alter minutely in accordance with their own experience, it's somewhat difficult to put such an event down to an occurrence of sub frenzy, hysteria based on a shared fear of the inexplicable I could grasp. But then, that would mean that four adults, none of whom are known to flap in times of difficulty, would all be subject to an aberrant act of character - perhaps it was a case of voodoo. If you are ever on the south coast of England and fancy a visit with my grandfather, you're more than welcome to take afternoon tea with him. He is a creature of habit and has tea at 4pm each day. He has also been dead for over twenty years. Actually, I meant that I would ascribe to sub frenzy any urges to check into a padded cell and have the key melted down... and I was at least half-joking, of course. Sub frenzy is not something I'm very susceptible to in reality, especially since I belong to a woman who tends to give me at least as much as I can handle when we manage to get together. As for your four persons of varying religions, careers and ages, I think the most important point is that anecdotes like this are common but tangible evidence is in very short supply. Ghosts may or may not exist, but I don't think any sensible person would doubt the power of the human imagination. In my opinion, the only rational position is to treat imagination (or suggestion, or even hallucination, if you will) as the more reasonable explanation until we have something more than anecdotes to go on. With that said... if you're serious about inviting me to tea with your grandfather, I'll almost certainly be in the UK later this year, and from my perspective British distances are small. May I contact you about this when my trip is a bit closer?
