Do we take into account of diagnosed shizophrenics about voices speaking to their heads telling them to hurt themselves and sometimes others? If no, why should we take into account a person that due to trauma, the brain is not working properly? Its not scoffing, its knowing the human mind, the little we know.
As to ghosts, when I was a kid, I was walking through an old abandoned house, reputed as being haunted, a flash of light from a window scared the shit out of me. I truly believed at that time it was a ghost of somekind, yet, I wasn't satisfied. The next day I repeated my path, and saw the phenomena repeated itself. Hmmm. I gained entrance to the house and discovered a mirror that was in such an angle that reflected a street light at the distance (those times they were white) when I was passing by.
I used science, and it works bitches!
