Your statement that there are things that will never be understood is a flat subscription to the concept that the universe is permanently indecipherable, a very religious point of view which I cannot accept. To use the existence of unknowns to substantiate unvalidated beliefs is a delight in ignorance which I find repellent.
Well, it so happens there ARE some things I think will remain unexplainable, but that wasn't really the point that I was trying to make.
Permanently indecipherable? I didn't mean to imply that. It could be that my experience has some explanation for which I lack the means to discover. Oddly enough, though, it does highly resemble accounts of experiences that have been ascribed to the paranormal. I understand your aversion to religion. For me, though, I don't see a point in ruling possibilities out.
I never ruled possibilities out. I merely respect the fact that they are mere possibilities, although, to my mind, rather far fetched.
Ah. Understood.
As far as explaining what happened, though, I really have no idea what "tools" could measure or help explain what I experienced. All we can say for the time being is that we know what it WASN'T. As to what it WAS, it's anybody's guess. What IS interesting, though, is even though the occurrence recently (as far as we know, anyway) is rare, it has been independently witnessed.
I know the "ghost hunter" types supposedly have some kind of paranormal activity monitoring equipment, but this seems to be labeled as pseudo-science to the rest of the scientific community. Are any of you suggesting that this is something I should buy into and perhaps invite these people into my mom's house to see if perhaps there is some kind of spirit haunting the place?
