I want to know how skeptical thinking works.
In philosophy, skepticism can refer to:
a mode of inquiry that emphasizes critical scrutiny, caution, and intellectual rigor;
a method of obtaining knowledge through systematic doubt and continual testing;
a set of claims about the limitations of human knowledge and the proper response to such limitations.
The IPU is used to argue that supernatural beliefs are arbitrary by, for example, replacing the word God in any theistic statement with Invisible Pink Unicorn.[3] The mutually exclusive attributes of pinkness and invisibility, coupled with the inability to disprove the IPU's existence, satirize properties that some theists attribute to a theistic deity.[4]

So in order to do that, you start with a claim about what ghosts are, retreat to a PM with one member, ask him to read 2 whole books about spiritism and make no post which is longer than 4 sentences. Sounds legit.

This video refutes this belief in ghosts.

It’s just kids playing with toys.
