Too much Armchair Sceptic today (or as you say Twitter/Facebook/Google researcher) and not enough field researcher. Its different laughing at haunted house stories at the comfort of skeptic's own home than if the same person sleep alone on that haunted house.<br /><br />as aside note, "watching Jennifer Love Hewitt in Ghost Whisperer--a guilty pleasure" , is this for the pleasure of watching JLH's beauty (my favorite actress) or for TGW's stories ? just kidding ...buntalanlucuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02058846205282464955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-44983921220889728682010-01-21T16:28:41.277-08:002010-01-21T16:28:41.277-08:00The more that I am immersed in these responses to ...The more that I am immersed in these responses to the "Enlightenment" the more I realize how much they have to tell us. The other day I read a claim by some reductionist idiot who claimed to have disproved psychic phenomena by using Twitter as his research tool. The fact that he is a complete moron is less astounding than that the science journal gleefully published his crap.The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811807639219365621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-82975431024113184042010-01-21T03:06:58.891-08:002010-01-21T03:06:58.891-08:00There - I finally read it and enjoyed.

"Have you seen any apparitions?" Yeats asks one of his informants. <br />"Yeas, I've seen the banshee batting at the water with its hands." (Not exact). The material, mixed with Yeats incredible flow and use of the language, draws me back to Celtic Twilight again and again. Like Evans-Wentz, there's a big connection to the Celtic after-life present in much of the tales.Peter Saucerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349540965664679379noreply@blogger.com
