In all the 13 years I've been a member in that other place, I've done a grand total of 9 posts, (6 posts in late 2004 and 3 posts in early 2005)... lol...Well...I'm skeptical but open minded even though many don't see that. The skeptics on that other place are hard core science materialists...they accept nothing other than cold hard facts and regarding this topic I had argued with them saying that we shouldn't automatically dismiss all tales and look into some to see where it takes us. They w eren't having any and said that all tales are worthless. If you think I'm hard on stories you should see how arrogant and closed minded thye are.
They almost make me look like a believer.
The UFO and Alien interest has certainly waned quite a bit over the last whatever years. I live smack in the middle of a so called Alien, UFO, Paranormal and Crypto hot bed area where there was once a large thriving UFO society which has almost all but gone now, and the Yowie (Bigfoot Sasquatch) group seems to have also disappeared.
There's an obvious steep decline in all such groups around Australia, including Paranormal groups. However, interest in local Haunted Houses and Haunted Sites seems to be on the increase, but I think it's more because it draws in extra tourists who are willing to part with their tourist dollar...
Decades ago when I first really got stuck into the topic information seemed generally, much more level headed that it was about 10 years ago and nowdays it's quite scarce, other than what does seem to be around seems to have more of a subtle type of spiritual, religious undertone to it...
Maybe people are so busy with their faces plastered into their phones checking out Facebook that they no longer look at the skies nor observe much of what is going on around them? Some people could probably bump head bang right into a ghost and as a apology to the ghost say something trite like:
'Opps, sorry mate, you look as white as a ghost'...and still be none the wiser they just spoke to a ghost because they haven't looked up from their phone... z2
Not sure what to think anymore... I hardly think a photo or a video would stand up for credible evidence nowadays. I look at some of the top range photo and video editing programmes may family have and which they also use in my place and they are so brilliant, that you would be really hard pushed to tell a fake edited video or a fake edited photo from a genuine one...
