Wiz, there are people on both sides (pardon the pun) who only hear what they want to hear. Many who believe in the paranormal will latch on to absolutely anything - any bump in the night so to speak - and immediately put it down to paranormal activity, but by the same token there are many sceptics who will close their minds completely to the possibility that the paranormal exists, and debunk - or simply dismiss - even the most inexplicable occurrences.
Theland, I have to take issue with you. Far from contradicting the bible, reports of the paranormal confirm much of what is to be found it in. Jesus himself is reported to have spoken face to face with the long dead Moses.
