[In the Drunk Tank]

I always find it a bit surprising tbh, how people are a lot more prepared to accept the supernatural when it comes to ghosts, but not when it comes to God, miracles etc.

I would guess it's because everyone knows someone who claims to have seen a ghost, or had an absolutely true reading from a psychic, it's sort of worked it's way into our psyche like that. It's part of our language.

Not many people have witnessed someone resurrected from the dead, or water turning to wine.

Even religious people have their own snobbery. If I went into church and said MTVN had performed a miracle, they wouldn't take me on face value, they'd want more proof than my word.

I guess, the "evidence" for both is essentially the same though, normally anecdotal or from questionable photo/film, I'd say there's a lot more documented evidence of miracles than there is of ghosts

The Catholic Church spend quite a lot of time looking for them

Absolutely, your initial pondering was correct, it doesn't make sense. I just tried to offer a reason that it might be the case. Like you, I see no reason why the two things are treated differently.

I don't think there is that many miracles that they have certified. They're usually the ones to be most skeptic at first.

That's not really true anymore. The Catholic church are in the process of beautifying lots of people for really vague reasons. For instance, one of Mother Teresa's miracles, was a lighting effect when she was interviewed on film, once.

I remember watching a documentary about the miracle of the Bleeding Host. It was tested and had started to bleed real human blood and was real flesh in front of a congregation during a mass.
This has loads of details; whether you believe it or not it's very interesting. Matched the blood type of that found in the Turin Shroud.

Quite interesting, although that film isn't very clear. Has anyone come up with a debunk or anything?
