Answer 2

No, I personally don't. Despite the ravings of certain paranormal evangelists who aren't knowledgeable enough to tell valid science from a hole in the ground, there is so little scientific evidence for the paranormal (psychic powers, psychokinesis, spirits, etc.), let alone evidence that has been independently duplicated and confirmed, that very very few in the scientific community have been swayed and even fewer who will attest to its validity. Good logic given the current situation would lead to the conclusion that there is nowhere near enough evidence to scientifically justify belief in the paranormal. If this were not so, the "para" prefix would have been dropped by now. Perhaps in the future enough evidence will be attained such that a paranormal phenomenon, like spirits or PK, will graduate from "para" to "normal", but as it stands today it doesn't look very likely. However, I'm open to the possibility and I encourage the use of good science in psi investigations.

Answer 3

Yes, Most Definenatly i am a paranormal investigator and i believe there are things out there that aren't like the normal/typical day! I think there are ghosts, some animals of Crypto zoology, Weird Places, Psychic and Mental Abbilities.... This is my oponion i will not rattle so i end my opinion here :)

Answer 4

I first quote eri :
" Nope. There is no evidence to suggest it exists - merely
wishful thinking. "

It's not wishful thinking, it's paranormal because it's not normal in society, and because science cannot measure something like psychic forces.. There is plenty of research on the subject, much using quantum physics to explain how paranormal phenomena work.. For example, they've come up with a "psychokinesis" video game, where the game is programmed to respond to certain brain waves which move the character and alows them to pick up objects digitally.. Not only this, but places like Stanford I think, have been conducting paranormal investigations for many years with documented proof of it happening, but no way to measure how it actually works..

In the long run, don't trust anything I say, I can't proove it for you.. Ultimately, Your experience is Your evidence. That's the only way you'll know the truth.. So check up!

Answer 5

Yes. Despite the religious screams from those that worship at the alter of bad science and poor logic the evidence suggest that at least some paranormal activity (ESP in particular) is real.
As concluded by Jessica Utts (link below)

"Using the standards applied to any other area of science, it is concluded that psychic functioning has been well established. The statistical results of the studies examined are far beyond what is expected by chance. Arguments that these results could be due to methodological flaws in the experiments are soundly refuted. Effects of similar magnitude to those found in government-sponsored research at SRI and SAIC have been replicated at a number of laboratories across the world. Such consistency cannot be readily explained by claims of flaws or fraud."

Answer 6

yes. the paranormal is very interesting to me. i watch almost all ghost shows like ghost hunters, paranormal state, etc. i ask a lot of paranormal questions on here and i am going to try to become a ghost hunter when i am older.

Answer 7

Since there is no evidence that suggests it exists, no.

In fact there has never been a single reliable experiment EVER that violates the laws of physics. The laws of physics have been constructed and refined so they are universally applicable. Since there is no mention of paranormal activity, aside from the deep strangeness of quantum mechanics, these phenomena do not really exist and they are the product of wishful thinking.

Answer 8

Nope. There is no evidence to suggest it exists - merely wishful thinking.

Fred - that is not paranormal, any more than saying 'watch out, I spilled some water' and then noticing the floor is wet is paranormal.

Answer 9

I could easily be convinced that telekinesis is real if someone came up to me and lifted me off the ground without touching me in any way. But that sort of thing never happens. I can't believe in something that can't be demonstrated easily and repeatably.

Answer 10

I have to say no,telepathy,telekinesis,psychics.They have all been tested many, many times.Failing every single test.The only conclusion is so far,it's not real.Some will quote obscure studies,from questionable institutions.Ask yourself,if it's real.Why can't I see it?Now, if someone ever comes along and does it.I'll gladly change my opinion.Believe me,if they do it will be a worldwide sensation.The number one story of the century.As far as ghosts and demons,that type of thing.My opinion is all silly superstitions.Fun in movies and books though.
