doing an interview on the Paranormal

[JTEM]

Anyone have any questions they'd like answered?

I'm interviewing an older gentleman, a paranormal
investigator, someone who knew & went on UFO hunts
with Betty Hill of Betty & Barney Hill fame.

...they were the first UFO abductee "Celebrities."

Though UFOs were and remain a major interest to him,
at this point he chiefly investigates Ghosts. Yes, he's
a ghost investigator! He even created (and runs) an
organization just for that!

So, got any questions?

Here's your chance to not only satisfy some adult
curiosity, but to leave a mark. Who knows, if you
left a decent question you might see it asked in the
interview!

(Yes, I'm recording it as part of a documentary)

You need to feel shame.

Real adults are aware of the fact that nobody ever won the one million dollar prize that James Randi was prepared to award to anybody who could prove under laboratory conditions that they had or could demonstrate any paranormal abilities.

They finally stopped offering it because nobody ever did and none of the most famous people claiming such abilities ever even tried.

Honestly, I'm not like you. I don't give a fuck.

You're a retard. You had an opportunity to satisfy
some intellectual curiosity and, as usual, you
instead used it as yet another opportunity to parade
your emotional problems.

You have no credibility. Nobody but your own sock
puppet would be capable of caring.

This newsgroup exists for atheists to discuss anything of interest

I started this thread asking if anyone had a

investigator. You never suggested any questions.
Instead, you have been splashing your FEELINGS

McGuinness is an uber-troll. He starts threads insulting atheists
in alt.atheism, then acts all butt-hurt* when atheists ridicule him.

I no more believe in "the paranormal" than I do in ghodz.
McGuinness could get a more interesting interview out of a
garden gnome. Unless he approached it with skepticism.....

See how insane the theists are....
Ghosts, UFO, aliens, angels, pixies, spirits, and all the invincible crazy things.
They are given some kind of great powers on paper but which do nothing in return for their effort in believe....

That's not bad, though I might want to generalize
it so it's relevant to other religions...

Maybe: "Are you religious? If so, how do you
reconcile your belief in ghosts with your religion?"

That might work.

If you're trying to tell me that the collective
lacks any semblance of intellectual curiosity, I
got it already. I got it a long time ago. I got it
*Years* ago. You can stop trying now.

For my part, I will ask him what (in his mind) the
connection is. He's interested in both, both are
covered under the "Paranormal" umbrella so what makes
them similar?

Well, since "do you believe in ghosts?" would be a bit redundant ask him if he believes that ghosts are a continuation of the conscious existence of a dead person, or just some kind of echo of a life? Or is it some and some?

Also, does he believe that all spooks have, at one time, been human?
