[ExI] Paranormal activity?

[Will Steinberg]

A nebulous statement.   Perhaps ghosts are logically sound and we just
don't understand the physics yet.  We don't understand consciousness, dark
matter, dark energy, the fate of the universe, etc.

I wouldn't be that surprised if a phenomenon that has been reported for
millennia turns out to have an explanation rooted in physics.  Perhaps not
this video, but it's certainly logically possible.  We know very little
about reality, all things considered.
