Evil spirits, demons. They are those 'ghosty' things!
What is expressed here is correct and accurate, imo.
All one needs is a ectoplasmic meter, a god damn Bible and a lobotomy and just like that,
anything becomes real.
.
Considering science claims that humans are able to see and hear approx. 1.5% only of all that exists around them, I guess humans need all the help they can get to assist their multiple disabilities, although it's to be doubted pre-frontal lobotomy would serve to advantage
But who knows. Science in varying guises claims sometimes that those whose aura has been damaged are more 'open' to what's termed the paranormal, etc. Others suspect there may be a genetic component
Whatever the case, the odds are high of a percentage of humans perceiving some of the 98.5% (of all that exists around us all the time) some of the time
For instance, John Bonnet syndrome, named for its discoverer. His mother was sight-impaired and told him of the little imps/elves she saw from time to time. She was perfectly lucid despite being sight impaired and described the creatures to her son. He knew she was not senile, so he began to investigate. It turned out that a percentage of the sight-impaired saw the same creatures and their descriptions of the creatures matched his mother's description
Immediately, 'science' rushed in to 'explain' (i.e. combat) the findings. Same issue's been rumbling away ever since
A Manchester UK teaching-hospital received a grant or such like to investigate. So 'science' was nowhere as sure of its claims as it and the media, medical fraternity etc. professed to be
It was hard going initially. Sight-impaired were reluctant to divulge their experiences for fear the information would be used to put them in the much feared 'homes'. (those 'homes' tout themselves as being better than 'real home', so it's odd, isn't it, that so many people fear being put in 'homes' more than they fear prison)
Anyway, the Manchester teaching-hospital succeeded in reassuring people that any information they provided re; the 'little people' would remain confidential and would not be used to 'put them away'
What emerged was fascinating, though little known, despite it occurred only a decade or so ago
Apparently, the sight-impaired (to varying degrees) told the researchers about the 'little people'. They were very small and looked like traditionally rendered 'elves, pixies, piskies, leprechauns, goblins'. The outfits of the little-people were surprisingly uniform -- usually they wore red and green, black tall hats, pointy shoes, wide belt over little jacket and often they smoked a pipe
The sight-impaired said, as a rule, that they were not afraid of the little people, nor had they been threatened by them
The little people apparently appeared randomly
The sight-impaired said they hadn't told anyone about them for fear of being judged insane, senile, etc. Which is to be expected from our categorization-mad society. Things were probably different a few hundred years ago, but ...
Researchers at the teaching-hospital published their findings. Most notable was the number of times they went out of their way to stress that their sight-impaired subjects (who were of varying ages) were perfectly lucid. They were not suffering from senile decay. They were intelligent. Many had held positions of considerable importance earlier in life. As always, it was noted that many of their sight-impaired subjects had been teachers, head-teachers, senior police, etc. It's a shame researchers and investigators feel compelled to vouch for their subjects' sanity and position in society as a means of validating their findings, but it is as it is. People are influenced by a person's position in life and it can often decide whether or not the individual is to be believed or not. Someone who lives and exemplary life in a shack in the woods, who harms no-one, who is wiser than most of his peers, will be doubted -- whereas a teacher with a thin excuse for a personality and character and with no visible redeeming features is more likely to be believed ...
So there it is. Verifiably sane individuals of validated good character and standing in the community are -- by virtue of sight impairment -- able to see creatures which remain invisible to the vast majority of us
Sceptics who are comfortable in their own little world will dismiss all the above and go happily on their way feeling very satisfied with themselves and what they consider to be their superior intellect and nous
Others, with more open mind, might consider the above to be interesting indeed
The sight impaired know what they see and don't give a fig as long as they're not locked away simply because their failing eyesight has allowed them access to a little of the 98.5% which is concealed from the rest of us
And science has done its level best to refute the findings of the researchers and tries to imply the sight impaired who see piskies are actually ga-ga and nothing to see here folks
