My grandfather always said, “Believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear”. I thought it was stupid when I was younger but holy jebus does it ring true these days.
Heck yes but. Seeing is better but hearing is more efficient. Like, it takes less energy, portable, transmittible.
So inevitably the hearing is gonna win. You’re gonna have this huge mass of people connected by hearing. And this relatively little bunch of people who sensibly stick with seeing, looking around going wtf.
I have yet to hear a ghost story from someone who actually have seen a ghost.
They all have heard other people seeing a ghost.
Let alone someone touching the ghost.
I have met people who claim to have seen ghosts. I still need more proof of ghosts than “we all saw something we couldn’t explain”.
Come to Pennsylvania, we have tons of alleged ghost sightings. I’ve met several people who claim to have seen ghosts.
Seen and thought, yeah, it should be that, ideally. Holding opinions simply because he or she said so is a very dangerous way to live!
Not to be a negative nelly but that’s like the whole internet. Our whole modern culture even.
