Red Cedar P-OT/Fallacies

 

Fallacy	Text
Appeal to ignorance	“At 6 min 50 sec into recording some knocking type noises were heard by the group coming from the next room. No explanation for noises found.”
Appeal to emotion	“I thoroughly enjoy this location and will return again.” “This place holds a special place in my heart.”  “We had several experiences throughout the night and I definitely would go back.”
Wishful thinking	“While conducting an Ovilus session in the Bar Room, the device says “Sister.” Sucha and Para are indeed sisters”
Anecdotal fallacy	Personal experiences regarded as data

Argument	Text
Repetition (premise modifier)	“The most interesting piece of SLS evidence occurred in the Ice Room where a figure appeared standing on the table before jumping off, losing its head and seeming to hang with its neck cocked to the left and legs twitching as though someone had just hung themselves. After a few seconds, the legs stopped twitching and were unmoving as though the subject had just died.” “Another EVP session was conducted in the ice room at 10:53:28 with the group that lasted 12 min and 58 seconds. The meter light up often and a figure was picked up standing on the table in the center of the room. Figure per camera recording jumped off table and then appeared to have no head, possibly a hanging of some sort?” “The Ice Room was very active. The X-Cam showed a figure that appeared to be agitated up on the table. It appeared to jump off and then was hanging over the table with its head cocked to the side. Almost as if it was hanging by the neck. The legs appeared to jerk and then went limp. Was someone trying to show us what happened to him?”
The normal (presumption)	“...with many rooms full of old what nots and antiques. These are always good for producing things that go bump in the night.”
Interpretation (premise modifier)	Specifications like “A child’s voice perhaps between five to six years old” and “The sounds of four or five male voices”
Exception	“During our session I felt someone walking a cold finger up my arm… I never felt anything like this before.”
Unsustained loss	“Because of a camera malfunction, I never made it to the second floor, but the first floor was plenty busy …”
