»I'd
like to talk about spiritualism. I come from the
fields of science, technology and media, and I'm
fed up with them, so I'd like to explore something
completely different. But I'm still familiar with
science and I like it when bold claims are
supported by hard evidence.
Fine,
then, good evidence for the spiritualism,
presented in a way that a random passerby would
immediately grasp. Simple, even naive ideas about
the ghosts of dead people that live in the
afterlife, and some magic tricks to 'prove' it.
Sounds great. I present thee the five pieces of
evidence, or, five ways of talking to ghosts. Come
and convince yourselves! Maybe one of the ghosts
is your late grandfather who has a message for
you.« /Otto Urpelainen/
