Why are The Hosts so Afraid of the "Space Brothers" Scenario?

[Brian Now]

Most of all, I'm convinced the reason we fear death isn't because of the fear of some quasi-mythical punishment that lies beyond but because we know, deep down we truely understand that that's the end, we die and we're gone, FOREVER.

CapnG, I know that you know that we don't "know" this
I certainly can't pretend to know what happens after death. What is your take on any sort of ghost phenomena?

Going back to the topic, I can entertain the idea that there are space brothers out there wanting to help us. But I'll also consider that there are parasitic thugs out there in the ethers too. Why do we always talk about this "phenomenon" like it must be fall into one category? I say there can be flesh and blood extraterrestrials , as well as guardian angels, cryptoterrestrials, extradimensional entities and ghosts all here at the same time.

Earth could be a really hoppin' joint! As blind as we are, we could be missing one hell of an interplanetary, interdimensional ho down.

What is your take on any sort of ghost phenomena?

Almost all of the ghostly encounters I've had (roughly a half dozen) have been of a repeating nature, which leads me to believe ghosts are some sort of temporal feedback loop. How it becomes "recorded" and what makes it "play" are anybody's guess but I detect no intelligence within the activity, it strikes me as an environmental thing (which would go a long way to explaining hauntings and why ghosts simply don't wander around).

My girlfriend on the other hand sees ghosts. Actually SEES them, sixth sense style (no communication though). She disagrees with me 100% and is thoroughly convinced that ghosts are indeed dead people who are "stuck" here (by design or by choice, who knows?)

I've encountered more intelligent, reasonably self-aware ghost than I have residual haunts.

Some of them are stuck here, for whatever reason, and others make occassional visits back from wherever they go.

Absolutely. Maybe we should be communicating with the ants and find out what THEY know about our visitors.

Especially that one that sounds like Woody Allen, he seemed really smart.
