Fallacy/ P-OT charts-Jacksonville Theater Guild Investigation

 

Fallacies

Post Hoc	A thing that happens before another thing caused that.	during an EVP session in the small room. A question is asked, “Can you make those noises for us that we just heard?” A whoop is heard in the background. We can’t be absolutely sure though that this sound didn’t come from outdoors.
Scope Fallacy	The scope of a word is ambiguous and shifts.	during that same EVP session. A question is asked, “Were you laid to rest…?” Jeanne is interrupted by the Ovilus PX in phonetic mode saying, “Hat.” (Is this referring to the Hat Room upstairs?
Appeal to Ignorance	Something is true because there is no evidence for it	During a later EVP session a question was asked, “Did you open the doors in the office...” (A whispered voice is heard on the digital recorder saying, “Hell no” and then the question continues, “when Kathy kept closing them?” You then hear the same whispered voice again answer, “No, no.”(It didn’t happen)
Unrepresentative Sample	A conclusion is drawn from an insufficiently representative sample.	From the video and audio evidence and limited interaction of the Ovilus PX, battery drainage of several devices including the Ovilus, Jeanne’s full spectrum camera and the sounds we all clearly heard of muffled footsteps and objects being moved or dropped, it is my opinion that the Jacksonville Theater Guild may indeed have some ghostly visitors that refuse to move on or come back to drop in from time to time. Nothing much was experienced or felt in the theater or basement but the 2nd and 3rd floors seemed to be the most active locations. The physical movement of the strings of a robe in the gown room definitely shows that they are capable of physical manipulation of objects.

Premises Presumptions-The likely	Some measure of (intuitive) statistical judgment.	Because the theater was a former funeral hall and they heard nosiness they assumed it was hunted
Premise Modifiers Repetition	Say it again. And again. And again.	The ghost hunter says the ghost talks to the or answers questions multiple times
Based on the Structure of Reality Succession- Consolidation	Direction where A is okay if it is alone, but propagation will give A greater impact.	The ropes in the attic were swing by their selves this adding to the belief that the place is already hunted
Based on the Structure of Reality Precedent	B won’t slippery slope, but it opens the door.	The theater has many remaining items and appliances from when it was a funeral hall
Based on the Structure of Reality Coexistence-Intention	Various acts reveal a unified essence.	Strange happenings have included ghostly voices, slamming doors, moving objects and even a woman in white, wearing a dress from the vaudeville era
