how can we prove the psychic phenominon?

Yeah, like Kurt Colbain, and Michael Hutchins, and Whitney Houston, etc.

Jimmy Hendrix, Amy Winehouse, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Keith Moon, Bon Scott...

Just off the top of my head. There are plenty more.

I meant to reply to this, and I edited it, instead. *sigh* CFT can edit to fix it if she notices, but in a nutshell, she named several musicians whose lives were made worse or even ended prematurely due to substance abuse, and asked for a cessation of the drug talk. I meant to follow up to mention a few more. Ah, well. She can chew me out in the mod forum later.

The same can be said of hauntings. Hauntings are a common phenomenon, and they happen to all kinds of people, from the most disbelieving to the most avid of ghost lovers, and everyone in between. It's a non-discriminatory paranormal experience. The only difference is in the interpretation of the experience.

Yep. In order to prove it under fair conditions with open minded observers there would need to be some kind of repeatable demonstrable quality to the paranormal action. But the thing is, many times paranormal activities happen when no one is looking or under unsuspecting times.

The people who would be able to demonstrate paranormal activities may not be interested in showing it.This is because a lot of what goes into achieving demonstrable paranormal like attributes involves letting go of desiring the kind of reaction people would have if they were able to observe the paranormal action.

This morning when I saw this I thought someone slipped something in my coffee. Hahahahahahahaha! Perfect ending to this part of the thread.

This is also another very valid point. Even if I could turn it on and off at will and be able to get perfect results, I wouldn't be publishing any results, and drawing attention to myself.
