    Sady looks like Tom passed away in 2019. RIP, Tom! Looks like this qualified as the first 'live' television attempt at a ghost investigation. Quite an achievement.

      It’s not. It’s complete nonsense for the gullible.

      Ghosts or whatever you'd like to label them are absolutely a real thing; yet another thing that your misplaced superiority complex has you completely lacking in an understanding of and of course...

    Hope Tom is still with us and still investigating.

      So, you don’t understand that he’s a con-artist, and he’s tricking gullible people like you? That’s sad.

      He was in 2019 at least. If you search for TOM ROBERTSON - Scotland's GHOST BUSTER you will find him.

    26. Just like in the 80s on Bullseye where all the 20 somethings looked like they were in their 40s.

    Why is it always up to our "side" to exorcise or help spirits move to the "other" side? Why doesn't the "other" side help them? The "other" side must know about them if we do.

    Exactly, if I was a ghost, why on Earth (or hell or heaven) would I want to be exorcised ?
    Scaring people is fun, you have to admit that, if you are honest 😀!

    He was born in 1937, so made 82. Not that bad.
    £2.10s per hour.... That would have equated to £3000 per week in today's terms, on a 40 hours per week basis. As a steelworker (his main job), he'd have been earning about 7/6p per hour, ie about 7 times less.

    This is borderline an episode of 'Look Around You' - and that 6 month warranty... really smart. Simply claim you hear the ghost every 5 months or so... ay ay ay.

    (1:59) I don't know how this is connected with getting in touch with the spirit world, but if you keep getting around like that, you may soon join them!
    (2:05) Tom, holding a cross and a Bible, which he's not reading from, although he glances at it for no particular reason, from time to time - while not particularly religious himself, and not performing a particularly religious ceremony.

      To me evil spirits are things like greed, egoism, unnecessary fear, despair. They do have a personal element to them.
      Stories like that are definitely a good reason to reconsider our choices and our conduct.

  • @krakowski-ruch-katolikow

    Spirits have no physical reality, no spatial dimensions. Since however God is a Trinity of persons, the evil spirits have a personal element to them as well. Although they're not like human persons.
