I understand what you mean about the "subjective." For me, I call it an "over-active imagination." And that was the way I thought for so long that I had to apologize to my children when the voices appeared in the digital recorder. (We bought a Mel-Meter, k2 Meter and a Digital recorder back in February; and were really hoping that it was just our mind reacting to old wiring or something.)
For me, proof is in the pudding. We started looking at it, as you would a court case. (It's not what you know, it's what you can prove.) -- I can't say that it was "dreaming or an imagination" or not, with the kids. They don't appear to have those kinds of minds. (Straight A students; Sadd Members; Choir and Band; they excel at math and science. Calculus and Pre-Calculus are actually their favorite classes in school.) But, I also admit that I'm biased because they are my kids. -- Their friends and our house guests have also experinced things. (Voices, shadows, door movements)
With this team, they are basing it out of the "things they can prove" and that is all. They will give us a copy of what all they found tomorrow. But, those sensitives were "right-on-the-money" with the things we didn't share. I must say that it impressed me.
Who really knows?... I am just excited that the kids may want to sleep in their rooms again and life will get back to normal tomorrow. That is my hope. And now, that I know we don't have to be on the same page religiously... I can just sit back and see what happens.
My thoughts were that "ghosts" were just like when I put on my perfume, and I can leave for the day yet still smell it in my room when I come back. Or, as in a campfire... it leaves it's mark but the land reclaims it. (Something that happens within nature.) But, what throws me off are the recordings of our names being said. That does confuse me because I don't understand how exactly that is possible. Also, about the flashlights. But, I keep in the back of my mind that history has taught: people did not know what lightning was... so, they came up with great stories to explain and understand it. The real understanding of lightning finally came along and I'm sure if those people were still around, they would feel pretty silly. ( I hope is that this is the case too. We need more science within this field.)-- If these really are "spirits" then, I have much to learn about what I thought of death.
