A Thorough and Spirited Debunking

Oh man. I’m back from The Amaz!ng Meeting 7, and there’s a LOT that I want to write about. For starters, Captain Disillusion hisownself made an appearance (in disguise, naturally) and screened a kickass addendum to his pantry ghost debunk:

Now THAT was satisfying. His prior explanation was good and plausible as an alternative explanation to claims of the paranormal. But in this one, as CD says, “we can pretty much see exactly what’s happening.”

I’ll have a lot more to say about the trip and related topics once I’ve recovered a bit more from late nights, red-eye flights, and jet lag.

Amazing Disillusion

Captain Disillusion, hero skeptic of YouTube, has a fantastic new video out. The debunking in this installment isn’t quite as thorough as are some of his other episodes, but the special guest and the “Contact” references make up for it. It’s important to spread the word: We (Skeptics) Are Not Alone!

Sara and I will be at TAM7. By all accounts, it promises to be–dare I say–amazing!
