"Scientifically Haunted House Suggests You're a Sucker"
And this is supposed to prove that the ghost phenomenon isn't real? It's an absurd conclusion -- or even suggestion. Yes, they were able so create some of the effects (sort of) that some people experience with a haunting. But that's like saying the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland disproves ghosts because they are able to effectively create the illusion of transparent, dancing ghosts right before your eyes. Simulating something doesn't mean that the real experience isn't real. It's worth noting, too, that no one in the Goldsmith experiment reported seeing an apparition.
Moreover, it's well known in paranormal research that electromagnetic fields can screw with your brain and can even cause hallucinations. Good investigators always look for sources of EMF to account for certain reports and rule them out. So, this experiment only proves what paranormal investigators have known for a long time, and adds absolutely nothing to the knowledge base of genuine paranormal phenomena. They have not proved or disproved anything new.

I have to admire the “scientists” instead of an open minded approach they’re closed minds show not a hint of curiosity about the world and it shows some are only interested in proving their pet theories.
I saw a full apparition about 7 years ago. Perhaps these scientists were correct; but if so, just how did the old library I was in come to be stuffed full of infrasound and electromagnetic radiation?
Idiots.
Thank you! As a practicing paranormalist, when attacked by “skeptics” my argument is exactly that- just because you can fake something doesn’t disprove the existance of the actual thing. Most scientists are atheists as are most so-called skeptics. They have an agenda to discredit anything supernatural because then there just might be a higher power to which they are accountable.
The scientific establishment are dogmatic. They are a priesthood of ’scientism’. They try to gain converts by parading around ‘evidence’ and yelling the loudest. Data is often open to interpretation, and they interpret it with their pre-conceived notions.
In a case like this, they parade the results of experiment around and yell it loudly to try to get people to think like they do. As skeptics often do, they claim because something can be hoaxed or staged, then it must always be hoaxed or staged.
