He is always so enthusiastic when he talks about science, it’s infectious.

I’m a nurse and I have seen a lot during my 14 years of experience. Back in 2021 I was coming back from my lunch, and I was ready to get the elevator to go on the 8th floor. Just right in front of me I saw an old lady on a wheelchair and a young man pushing the wheelchair. They were walking ahead of me and they were smiling at me. I was surprised I have never seen them before and they seemed to know me. They went inside the elevator first and I decided to take the next elevator since I wasn’t in the mood for socializing with anyone. But the elevators door was staying open and I thought that they were waiting for me so I went inside. When I got inside the elevator was empty. I swear to God it happened and I was so shocked that I was trying to convince myself that never happened and I imagined it.

"sometimes something doesn't quite go according to plan"
like waking up in the night and seeing a girl standing on your parents drawers praying. Bonus points for living in an old house that used to own the land where a pond was where a girl drowned. As an adult you can just say "well maybe I was having a very lucid dream" but for a long time I believe I did see a ghost, as I was too scared to just get up and touch the thing to check. My mum also said I used to unnerve her because I pointed and said "look she's there, can't you see her" at earlier occasions which I don't remember myself.

Me waiting for him to explain how ghosts don't exist: 👻

People call smart people idiots and non believers because they dont want to believe the truth or learn something new. If they can't wrap their head around it and understan it then IT MUST NOT BE TRUE. oh what a world we live in

[RobertReedComedyMagician]

Still waiting for him to explain how ghosts aren’t real…

[Storifiedyt]

All things aside his smile is really contagious.

Why is there no stories of anyone ever seeing a Dinosaur ghost considering they ruled the earth for practically 90% of earths existence?!

[BullyMaguireever]

Science isn’t about facts, it’s about what seems to be provisionally true until disproven.

To say science hasn’t proved ghost are real doesn’t mean they aren’t real, it means we done have sufficient “scientific” evidence.

Science is evolving understanding, so it’s foolish to cling onto science like a religion.

[atticusvilly]

Wish more people would use their brains like Brian!

Lloyd aurabach says otherwise and he’s the leading paranormal researcher

I saw a ghost (an angel) in 1999 in an old B&B in Newquay as did 3of my friends. Very surreal moment.

[boomtish]

The word ‘dead’ is pretty self explanatory. I don’t know how we’re supposed to progress as a species until we grow up, to be honest.

[JamWithOscar]

I beleive that the reason people see ghosts is because of the barn owl like most ghost sightings are at night and barn owls are nocturnal. Im pretty skeptical about ghost but there is a part of me that thinnks that the supernatural is real and ghosts do exist. But idk this guy says some facts but like my mother said "you cant trust everyone"

[Say_No-_Animal-Abuse_]

He looks like he could front a band like The Monkees...🎵🎶🎵

[ronaldevans]

If ghosts were real, had any telekinetic abilities & held personal grudges I doubt the universe could operate.

[pencilmen]

Q. What is the meaning of life?
A. I know! The universe is really big.

3:33 Um, my dad would disagree. He worked as a Lt in a maximum security prison. He always said he hated working the week of, and especially on the night of, a full moon. He said he had no idea why, but the inmates really acted up during that time of the month. I have heard other officers my dad worked with mention the same observation. I think it is mostly coincidental, but how many of the same coincidences have to happen before it becomes a pattern?

[DavidJones-lzio]

He’s actually pleased to be on this show?? Fair play to Brian he’s a brilliant diplomat.
