I know I'm right

May 18, 2004, 10:37

I take your point FW, and yes 'reality' is a slippery beast, but you'd have to agree that your farmer chappy was absent from the physical world when you got to the place where you'd 'seen' him.

If he wasn't physical (i.e. an object that's tangible to the human senses or measurable with some sort of fancy device used by scientists) then he was either,

a) An illusion
b) Something that we can't yet measure

I know I'm going over old ground here, but bear with me.

If it was (a) then you were just misinterpreting stimulus to your brain. Not surprising really, in an environment that is so devoid of people. Seems pretty normal to me.

If it was (b) then 'nature' or 'physics' have something up their sleeve which we don't know about. In itself not unlikely, but, why a person? Why not a fish (presumably the location you were in was at some stage under water)? Why not a tree, or a spider or a sabre toothed tiger (nobody ever sees ghosts of sabre toothed tigers)? Don't you think it's weird that most people who have encountered this type of thing have seen a person?

This all makes me think that (a) is by far the most likely.
