Egyptian Theater Investigation Fallacies/P-OT

 Fallacies

Hasty Generalization- I found the theater to be a fascinating place full of the possibility of paranormal potential. 

(NOT)-Unrepresentative Sample, I believe a more serious investigation needs to be set up sometime in the future.

Wishful Thinking- Other repetitive words that came through were “Police” and “Front” which made no sense. These words came through around 2am or so. This later made sense when I and a number of researchers went to their cars to go home and found out that many, including me, had received tickets for late night street parking in front of the theater. So perhaps the Ovilus was attempting to warn us to move our cars but we didn’t put two and two together.

Appeal to Fear- ...some people have felt a spectral tap on the shoulder when no one else is around.

P/OT

Repetition- During a few sessions the name “George” kept coming through. George Hawrylenko was in charge of the EVP sessions so perhaps the spirits were calling for him.

Interpretation- ...so perhaps the spirits were calling for him, and ...So perhaps the Ovilus was attempting to warn us to move our cars but we didn’t put two and two together.

Probability- I found the theater to be a fascinating place full of the possibility of paranormal potential.... I believe a more serious investigation needs to be set up sometime in the future.

Clarity- Other repetitive words that came through were “Police” and “Front” which made no sense. These words came through around 2am or so.
