Reply #4: My husband the agnostic has seen ghosts [View All]

[shrike]

And experienced supernatural phenomenon. Kinda pisses me off, the fact that I believe in an after-life and he doesn't: why can't I see ghosts?

Don't know how you'd test for this sort of thing, though. I suppose this research has been going on in one form or another for years.

On edit:

Poor Topsy. When we were in Australia, we stopped by a crocodile farm: they raised crocs for leather and meat, but also provided a home for crocs with no where else to go: they used them for breeding purposes. One of them was a former zoo animal who'd killed his keeper. Recognizing that crocodiles do what crocodiles do, they gave him to this place, and he's been there ever since.

I remember reading about Edison's machine. Edison wasn't religious in the least, but was convinced that consciousness survived after death. He completed his machine, but died before he could put it to use. Unfortunately, no one could ever figure out how to make it work, and so there it sat.
