Founder of Skeptics Society has a paranormal experience
This article is the very interesting account of how the founder of Skeptics Society - a man who has written extensively and given TED talks about the superiority of the skeptical view point on life . . . .

Had his own unexplained paranormal event ~

I hope he learned from this, I hope all skeptics learn from this - just because it has not happened to you or it does not seem "logical" based on what YOU know - there in fact is a nature to this world of ours that is unexplained.

The article can be found here:

LOL, a creepy radio story! Well that'll show him.

Proof that whatever we desire (as he did subconsciously to experience the paranormal), we may have if we put enough energy and attention toward the cause.

What I enjoyed about this is this is a man who almost scorned others with experiences they cannot explain.

Most people do not invite paranormal experience into their lives - I mean who wants to live with things that make no logical sense, that you are almost afraid to share because skeptics are gonna skeptic.

Now - can you imagine - his whole personal internal platform has been knocked out from beneath him. Nobody really believes these things until they experience them personally.

Skeptics will know with 100% certainty that they're wrong after death, or more accurately transitioning.

This powerful man in the skeptic community - has had "an unexplained event" - what in the world is he going to talk about now - will he debunk himself?

I didn't really think much about out of body experiences until I had one during a near death experience. The shrink at the VA - called it a "depersonalization event" lol, what ever. It was very fascinating to watch special forces secure my location from above like a sudden human drone eye in the sky. I even felt the breeze on my cheek up there.
Opened my fucking eyes for sure!

This reminds me - sometimes its children - and what small children tell you - that remind you of your own paranormal experiences. Children that tell you things that cannot possibility be explained in any rational way - sort of like the radio playing in the drawer.

Shermer is a sad excuse for a human being. I really wish his paranormal experience would have been a group of well endowed aliens gang-probing him.

Re: Founder of Skeptics Society has a paranormal experience

my 2 cents. Leave that supernatural ghost shit alone. Period.


When i was a young guy i really wanted to see a ghost , or a UFO, or bigfoot, or some kind of shit.


Well, I ran into an angry evil ghost over 15 years ago, and it still creeps me the fuck out just thinking about it.


Dont go looking for that shit, and when you run into it, leave it alone.

Re: Founder of Skeptics Society has a paranormal experience
personally i think that 99% of skeptics are secret believers in whatever subject there mocking or trying to disprove,

i had a friend that would go on and on about how UFO's don't exist, really belittling everything you say. then when the subject was brought up at a birthday gathering and all but him admitted to seeing something strange in the sky, the look on his face changed from an 'i am all knowledgeable' to a look of 'why haven't i seen anything'. he now admits to believing in UFO's, but other folks who believe in UFO's are still sick or ill.

most skeptics will be sociopaths or narcissists so only there viewpoint counts, but when they feel the sway of others around them the skeptic point of view will change.

also i find it funny how skeptics only refer to crazy folks accounts as proof that its all a sham and then when faced with real evidence they shut down and dont want to listen, again until many of there peers change opinion then there opinion will change also.

if only they spent an equal amount of time weighing up the pro's and con's for the subject at hand then they would see in many cases that 'there is no smoke without fire'

Pfff... As we say in Spain "En casa del herrero, cuchillo de palo" (The blacksmith uses a Wood knive in his house, or som'thing)

One paranormal experience is only that. The guy had his minute of "anomaly", his "epiphany", so what? It's the amount of paranormal experiences what let us to make casuistics, statistics and to search for patterns and reasonable or even "scientific" "explanations" or at least descriptions. Some things will be for now (or for ever) simply OUT of that kind of rational protocols for understanding "reality".

...and one thing is a sceptic, or a "skeptic"... or a shill, different animals with different intentions and motivations. Everything has some kind of agenda.

Yes, ironically they think they are the most critical thinkers - so much so that they cannot see fallacies in their own logic. The truth is this, not that the paranormal is real - but that we are not really sure what is real.

 Quoting: Inerrancia


Some of that agenda might be as simple as avoiding facing the fear that might come from not being in control of your environment - and not knowing everything. Some people are only comfortable if they believe they have it all figured out and thus press forward only believing their own programing.

The truth is none of us really KNOWS - everything is pretty much either faith or theory.
