So I've just watched Discovery Ch.; some myth about 30 kids killed long ago, when a runaway train hit their bus somewhere in Texas.
There is this family who stopped one night at the same spot; the legend comes to life and the 30 dead kids push the car across the railroad, some fingerprints appear on the back of their car and the family even take a picture in which a ghost appears (sic!).
The debunkers come to recreate the whole thing. Their conclusions:
- there is only an optical illusion, we're actually talking about a downward inclination (in spite of the more than obvious upward orientation of the slope), so the car was just sliding (in spite of the fact that the engine was turned off the and the brakes on);
- the mysterious fingerprints are actually old fingerprints which were always there;
- no clear explanation for the ghost, but some muttering about lights and cameras.
Is there any lamer excuse to deny the 'paranormal'?
Can't you just say... I dunno... "I can't explain it"?
