Memorial Opera House Fallacies & P-OT Evaluation

Clarity "events make rule clearer"

Lots of whisperings in the corners of the room that you can’t quite make out what is being said. 

Some students were here recently with their teacher. A girl went inside there and was in there for a few minutes when she called for her teacher. When she was lit up by a flashlight, she was bleeding out of one nostril. She apparently was somewhat sensitive and when she walked into the hallway, later recordings reported you hear a male voice say, “Get out!” It was after that, she acquired a nosebleed.

Post HocA thing that happens before another thing caused that.the use of ghost lights 

The practical use of a ghost light is mainly for safety. A ghost light enables one to navigate the theater to find the lighting control console and to avoid accidents such as falling into the orchestra pit and stepping on or tripping over set pieces. Aside from its obvious practical purpose, there are a number of superstitions associated with the origin and purpose of ghost lights. The superstitious have various justifications for the ghost light in relation to the supernatural. A popular theatrical superstition holds that every theater has a ghost, and some theaters have traditions to appease ghosts that reach far back into their history.


Quantifier Shift "A “some” statement in a premise becomes an “all” in the conclusion"

fter seeing the drapes moving in an upper level window at the museum later that same day, MacDonald said he sent a text message to Pazour, who was baffled since the building was closed. He told MacDonald there is also no forced-air heating or cooling system in the building and the motion-detector security system was never triggered.

While working in his office, he has heard footsteps in an above loft area that only can be reached by a 15-foot ladder.

'There's no way anyone could access it without me knowing,' MacDonald said.

Tu quoque An argument must be untrue since the author of the argument has acted inconsistently with the argument’s conclusions.Upon reviewing all of my evidence, it’s sad to note that nothing appeared out of the ordinary, image-wise, on my night-shot camcorder (except for some light refraction on a piece of metal on a chair in the atrium); and also nothing really audio-wise, on my digital voice recorder.
Clarityevent makes rule clear

 while conducting a Phasma Box session near the Stage area, a question was asked, “Can you say hello to everyone?” The device responded with, “Hi.”





There is tons of history at and around this opera house from the old jail/holding cells that were once located/used on the property to Many Civil War attributes are here as well, it is 100% possible that this opera house is haunted also considering the evidence they found via investigations.
