#35 Ghosthunters

Jul08
by on 2009-07-08 at 00:00
Chapter:

Richard Wiseman gave a most interesting and highly amusing talk last night at Skeptics in the Pub, Oxford. And he didn’t even plug his new book, “59 Seconds: Think a Little, Change a Lot.” At least, not very much.

It just goes to show that “rigour” and “humour” both have an “ou” in them.

1. (heat camera running)
2. (magnetic field detector on)
3. (infrasound - recording.)(now we wait)
4. [are you searching for ghosts?]
5. (not exactly...)
6. (aaaaghhh sceptic!) [run!]
