Fallacy Chart
Appeal to Force/Fear |
Her violently throwing what was not hers is using force/fear
that if its not hers then it is wrong. |
While heavily blindfolded, she takes a box of letters received from
friends and sits down, examines each one, and reads them (out loud) without
error or hesitation. Father and friends put their own letters in with hers,
and while heavily blindfolded, she correctly draws out the intruding letters
and examines them. She reads aloud the address and throws violently away
every letter not her own. |
Post Hoc |
Because Mary died, the spirit moved on to Lurrany. |
Mary returns to good
health, but her violent fits increase, and her parents are advised to place
her in an asylum; however, on July 5, 1865, while her parents are in Peoria,
Mary enters into a violent fit and dies. ----- Now, Lurrany Vennum
comes into the picture. She was born July 11, 1864. |
Unrepresentative
Sample |
They believe the house is haunted but no evidence. |
Summation: I made no paranormal findings. |
Hasty Generalization |
They say they heard the word “bitch” but it sounded
more like a frog cut off. |

Repetition |
Say it again. And again. And again.
|
She knows the names and life histories of friends and
neighbors from the period of 1852-1865.
She recalls hundreds of incidents that transpired during
her natural life.
It repeats SHE
a couple more times |
Observed |
Concrete data.
|
She was born October
8, 1846, and died July 5, 1865. |
Presence |
Drawing
attention to premises.
|
During a very
despondent mood on July 16, 1864, Mary secretly took a knife with her to the
back yard and cut her arm terribly, until bleeding excessively, she fainted. |
Dilemma |
Two choices
have the same result or an equally bad result.
|
Both groups went to investigate,
and both complained about the ‘noise contamination’ |
Pragmatic |
Evaluation
of an act through consequences.
|
They evaluated the
girl as she went through fits that included lots of bleeding, and also evaluated
her as she fought back. |
