    Not worthy of Salon

    This is utter nonsense. Garbage. Not worthy of attention. Present EVIDENCE, incontrovertible, peer-reviewed evidence, of anything supernatural, you'll get my attention. No one ever has. Candy heart moved? Boyfriend didn't do it?? What if he lied?

    Please. Read Carl Sagan's "Demon Haunted World" to debunk the ghost stories. Then read Ray Kurweil's "The Singularity is Near" and Stephen Pinker's "The Blank Slate," to learn the current state of knowledge of the brain. We're a lot closer than you think to putting this nonsense to rest forever. It won't be soon enough.
