Burden of proof

Shifting the burden of proof involves the proponent asking the skeptic to disprove the claim that they make, rather than the other way round. Example:

Ted:  I believe in spirits, good and evil, that dictate our the fate of our children.

Sandy:  Prove it.

Ted:  You prove it false!

I would assume that the person thought those were the only options when committing the fallacy, so they thought they were making a reasonable point. You have no more burden than you already had.
