here are a few of the things that happened:.
about a month ago, ali and her son david, heard noises from the attic above ali's bedroom...that sounded like something was being dragged across the attic floor.
This is a public forum in which people are expressing their perspectives, to which they are most certainly entitled, GomitSK. In the absense of a single, solitary, verifiable shred of evidence for what they posit in public they are also entitled to public skepticism and dismissal. I'm just doing my part to help rid the world of superstition and ignorance.

Thank you, Black Sheep.
All I ask for, GromitSK, is evidence.

There's a fine line between being respectful toward someone's beliefs and being patronising. However, I apologise for coming across as aggressive. I guess I am. But vehement? No. Not at all. My tendency to push back is a product of decades of exposure to people making incredulous claims solely on the basis of what they sincerely believe to be true, the proponents and apologists of the WTS being foremost. I will always, always go for the rational explanation, while others will always, always go for the mystical explanation.

It could still be the explanation, jookbeard - maybe even more likely. The laser scanner in a CD player is located below the tray (ie, the CD is inserted with the data side oriented downward.) If the CD jammed and hung up just above the tray with sufficient clearance it would be possible to continue using the player. This explanation, I think, is more plausible than spirits messing around with your head.

jookbeard, my theory re: your unexplained phenomenon (given that it happened in a multi-disk machine) is that the CD was not quite centered in the tray, it tipped up slightly as the tray rotated and its leading edge struck a slight protuberance inside the machine. As the tray continued to rotate the CD was levered upwards where it jammed in place inside the machine, and it stayed there for several months until it finally unseated itself and fell back onto the tray.
If you think this is a plausible explanation, it is. It happened to me. I lost a CD for a couple of months then one day when I rotated the tray to change disks there was the lost CD laying on top of one of the CDs I'd been playing most recently. Mystery solved.

White Dove has is right. I wasn't calling you on anything, CB, just a couple of the well meaning folks who contributed to your thread.

Lion Cask... Why are you so hostile?
There is no hostility in my words. The problem with text is that it is devoid of vocal intonation and facial expression. I am by no means worked up about this. If people want to believe in things they have never personally seen themselves, or believe in things they say they have seen but nobody else has seen, or believe in things for which there is no proof, then I will be skeptical and I will call them on it. If you talk to anyone who has exited the WTS you will find a common thread. At some point or another they chose not to believe what other people were telling them with great conviction was true. Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence. No matter how much you believe something to be true, it isn't true unless you can prove it.

Who knows maybe there are things that will forever be beyond science's grasp. There are things for which science is not the best tool but what caused the events that are the subject of this thread is not one of them.
Or it's all a bunch of crap. If it exists, come forward with proof.
What is it with the Dawkinites always have to be such sarcastic dinkers? Are y'all really arrogant enough to believe that the only reason someone could possibly disagree with you is because that person is stupid and/or nuts?
I don't think anyone used the word "stupid". But if the shoe fits ....

I wonder if they ask for a tax deduction for the cost to clean it up. No. Wait a minute. They don't pay any taxes. Nevermind.
Vandalism is infantile stupidity and the morons who did that should be publicly humiliated if they're caught but probably won't because they're underage. Now the City of Los Angeles rate payers get to pay for the cost of investigating the stupidity and slapping the kids on the wrist if they catch them.
