Some claim to have captured spirits on camera Martin - though I doubt you would be interested

But if spirits are all around us, with some people seeing them all the time, then you'd expect it to be easy to capture them on camera.  You'd expect people to be able to do it anywhere where people see these spirits. But it doesn't happen does it?  It's all so much more consistent with people being deluded, liars or deceived than it ever could be with unfounded hypotheses about electro-magnetic radiation!  In fact there is no good evidence to link electro-magnetic radiation with psychic phenomena.  The evidence actually speaks VERY LOUDLY the other way.

All I can really do is give you links Martin.

You tried that and all it proved is how closed minded you are.  You accept this rubbish as truth, but it is plainly rubbish.  You didn't hit any raw nerve Jan, you just accused me of being closed minded when it is obviously you who is closed minded.  Now, if you'd re-read the link you provided and come back with "Yes I can see that it's preposterous to propose that people who have passed over emit electro-magnetic radiation in the ultra-violet spectrum" then I would believe you to be open minded on the subject.

You'll notice that I'm not saying that your personal experience is invalid.  Your personal experience is not called into question by the fact that electro-magnetic radiation cannot be the cause of psychic phenomena.  But you have demonstrated your closed-mindedness because you believe not only your experience to be true, but your choice of mechanism to be true when it patently is not.

So, no raw nerves from me, just a solid argument based on good science.  No wild claims that psychic phenomena cannot be true, but a solid assertion that is as unlikely as a teapot orbiting between Mars and Jupiter.
