    Can you trust your ears - this is a pretty good primer on why/how the human perceptions can be tricked

    Interesting but if you don't look at the video you will find you are able to discern and not discern.

    That seems to be half a thought there... "discern and not discern" what, exactly?

    You will find you are able to discern and not discern the difference... that still really doesn't make sense in the context here...

    the trick is in being aware without focusing?

    You're half listening and half lip-reading. That's why you think you hear two different words.

    Considering that's pretty much the topic of this thread, what's your point?

    To contemplate that ours senses are flawed has always been obvious. Who here , or anywhere has the spectrograph ability. None.

    Just FYI, "spectrograph ability" doesn't mean you can see ghosts. It's related to spectrum, not spectre.

    The spectre is a light form. Or energy form.

    Because what else could ghosts be? Other than light and/or energy of a form?

    Why do you think ghosts are real?
