If one thing can be guaranteed to any reader of this blog, it is that I have more than just a ghost transient interest. For this reason I like to discuss ghosts with anyone who will listen; I am skeptical about the presence of ghosts, and they have some strange experiences that help me stay open from them, and have been achieved in the active rings since the age of 18 (more than a decade), so … Why do people feel the need to tell me ghosts are not real?
In the introduction of her wonderful book “Parapsychology: A Guider’s Guide”, Professor Caroline Watt explains that “during this book, I will refer to phenomena and supernatural abilities. For fluency, I will avoid these phenomena as a repetition like” alleged “,” claim “, and” claim “, although this does not mean that this is believed to be in appearance.” (Watt, 2016)
For a while, I will be keen to use the same qualifiers before talking about supernatural topics for fear that my message will not be heard, but instead, my fans (especially in science and doubts) will focus on the fact that I did not use the evacuation of responsibility before repeating a supernatural or supernatural claim.
and Do It is happening. Most of the time, if you write something on social media on the topics of a paranormal without using “alleged” or the like, I will be informed (a man most likely) that ghosts are not present.
I chose to call this ghost.
I will often visit the online identification file for the person who gets Ghostsplaining for me and will not participate in the supernatural research in any shape, shape or shape. However, they will take time from their day to explain the basic concepts of supernatural research for me – a person participating in paranormal research.
I recently tweeted that the local forests were not inhabited despite the story of the main media that I reported were. As a local, he coincides with being a paranormal researcher, I know that the name derived from folklore from the forest has nothing to do with a ghost and more related to the English language.
I know that the forest is a favorite rest for adolescents who there is nothing else that can only be done to drink cheap beer and full cigarette smoke, which makes the cave system under the forest and tower with creeping look looks frightening. I also know that a full set of reports on Hitchhiker ghosts are attributed to these forests, but when looking for the original eye witnesses, you cannot find it.
Therefore, knowing all this (from an era, oh, eight), I confidently tied that the forest was not inhabited. Almost immediately, a man replied that “nothing is inhabited.”
Hmm.
I was not asked to clarify how I knew that the forest was not inhabited, or how she created this. It has just made it clear to me – a person identified that I was a paranormal researcher – that the chase (and thus ghosts) were not real.
I could note that although ghosts and chasing as supernatural phenomena may not be real, there is certainly social or cultural phenomena that could make people think they are haunted. I could have made it clear to him that some people did not believe that ghosts caused the episodes, and that in religious societies many people worry about the demonic entities chasing their homes or curses. The probionone is often considered by others …
Instead of justifying my position, I stood on my ground and indicated that he was explaining to me things that I already I already, which told me that “I do not get out of the shape” and that he “supports me”, but the thing is … I do not need backup.
Especially by an abnormal researcher explaining ghosts-a paranormal researcher.
In her wonderful article Men explain to me things, Rebecca Solnett Manspling describes as “an archipelago of arrogance” and “the assumption that makes it difficult, sometimes, for any woman in any field; this prevents women from speaking and hearing when they dare; this crushes young women in silence by reference, the way he does harassment in the street, and that this is not their world.” (Solnit, 2012)
It is clear that there are things that I do not know when it comes to abnormal research, supernatural research, psychology, etc., and I really enjoy getting to know new things through the suggestions of others, but Ghostsplaint is not. It is not useful. It is a way that men (and yes, men) try to remind me that I am not an expert as I think, although I know a lot about this topic more than they know.
GhostSpling is how men try to knock me in linking or two by checking why I didn’t say “an alleged ghost” – I am truly Skeptical? Am I certainly I do not believe in ghosts? Ghostsplaining is Mansplaining, which is a constant reminder that I am allowed to express my conclusions and work until a man sees saying a lot.
Men explain the ghosts, and they are usually wrong.
