Huffington Post had this to say:
Alexandra Holzer, a second-generation ghost researcher and HuffPost blogger, says West's alibi, while highly unusual, could be possible, but admits his "shady, checkered spousal abusive past" makes her skeptical.
Really??? Skeptical??? Nothing gets past this woman does it? I’m sure she’s just trying to be open minded, but REALLY?
November 2011, former Mount Gilead police officer Joseph Hughes, claims before a judge, that he is innocent of the 21 charges of theft leveled against him. His reason… there was a ghost in his basement that was actually the one doing the stealing. He claimed that he never went down into the basement because of the entity and was therefore unaware of the thefts, some of which were from the police department itself!
‘It’s going to sound kind of ridiculous, but we believed that there was some kind of paranormal presence in the basement,’ Hughes said in court. ‘It sounds kind of ridiculous but there was evidence to support it.’
Hughes was found guilty of 18 of the charges against him.
Last but not least, a Toms River NJ couple was in the news over what they claimed was a very paranormally active house. Jose Chinchilla and Michele Callan claim that due to the overwhelming amount of paranormal activity, in the month that they lived in their rented home, they were forced to leave and subsequently, sued the landlord for their $2,250 security deposit back. According to one television news segment that aired, their evidence consisted of a light that flickered on and off by itself (a short or bad bulb), the television popping three times (probably had just turned it off and it was cooling down) and a bowling pin falling over by itself in the basement (after a couple of paranormal investigators walked past it). In a not-so-shocking turn of events, they lost their case, and did not get their security deposit back.
What is it with this ridiculous need for people to blame the paranormal? Is it the fact that it’s hard to prove or disprove a haunting or paranormal event? Do they seriously think that they can scream ‘ghost’ and everything is going to work out the way they want? I’m afraid that too many people have seen movies such as ‘A Haunting in Connecticut’, and ‘The Amityville Horror’, and think… ‘Hey, I have an idea…’ Unfortunately that’s not the way REAL life works.
Sadly, it is people like this that make it difficult for others who actually do have paranormal events in their lives, to be taken seriously. Do I think it’s possible for a paranormal entity to interact in someone’s life or home and cause havoc? Yes, I do. Do I think it’s likely? No, I don’t. Being a paranormal investigator, there is one thing that I’ve learned. Thanks to all the paranormal shows that are on TV, people are often too quick to jump to conclusions about strange events that happen around them. Just because you think something is paranormal, it doesn’t mean that it is. We have rational minds for a reason, and I think that people should start using them more often.
I guess what I’m trying to say is this: No one is going to believe you if you say a ghost did it. That’s just stupid. What you need to tell them is, the leprechauns are mad at you because you followed the rainbow and messed with their pot of gold, and the little buggers set you up. That’s a far better excuse and one that might, possibly, be taken seriously!
