Just say no to ghost hunters

[Mulder]

Just noticed this. I think it's funny but that's probably my warped sense of humour.

Shame.

I mean, it was going to be a scientific investigation to prove ghosts are there!

I bet they've got meters and everything.

Stewart Bradley who is a member of the UK Paranormal Society: "The UK Paranormal Society is very interested in conducting an investigation. We would like to try and contact the spirits and interact with them to find out the facts about who they are and what they are doing at Ayscoughfee."

A scientific hypothesis there.

Council bosses have put a stop to a scientific experiment hoping to discover whether Ayscoughfee Hall is haunted.
Spalding spiritualist Stewart Bradley wants to conduct an overnight investigation at the hall to prove there are ghosts living there.

"Scientific experiment... to prove there are ghosts"??

What ever happened to the good old null hypothesis?

Im glad the refused permission, the "investimagator" is a spiritualist. I have no doubt that if permission was granted he would declare the place to be haunted by Louis Armstrong, or whoever's voice he had been practising at the time. Kudos the the museum staff.

Ghosts pinched it - leaving paranormal investigators with only the ability to begin investigations with conclusions and always find support for them.

I ALWAYS so no to ghost hunters no matter how many drinks they've bought me.
