Do you think that this is a waste of peoples times? Or do you believe that there are paranormal activites, which science cannont explain?
Two examples:
1) The psychic horse that was able to spell out where a child was, that was missing. Found
2) The use of "orbs" where deaths have occured, to be able to tell whether or not a person was murdered, Which has also been used where kidnappings have occured.
Do you, as intellectuals believe in any of this, and if so why? And should this be investigated further, and more thoroughly than it currently is being, to be used in possible crime cases as evidence? As I have heard some scientific debates on the matter, I said I would open on here.

I don't believe stuff like that, but I'm not going to capmaign against it. Whether it actually works or not can't be really proved. It might have been pure chance and co-incidence that the people were found. Who knows?

I believe in pure science analysis and I don't want to see more money and stuff being ploughed into this. Keep the roots of criminology deep into science. None of this hocus pocus. The courts would have a field day if 'evidence' and such from paranormal activity was being submitted.

I think we don't know or understand our own ability to sense energy and the 'collective conscious'. I think it is silly and ignorant to assume that just because we cannot explain it that it isnt true, we don't know everything and we certainly dont know much about the things we consider to be paranormal, hence the reason its not just called normal activity lol

I'm typically very skeptical of paranormal investigations. I'm never one to rule things out entirely, but the vast majority of "paranormal" occurrences that I've read about have been utter bunk.

There are loads of cool coincidences in the world, but 90% of the time, they're just coincidences. I highly doubt that anywhere near the number of ghost hunts and haunted houses that the world wants to think exist are actually real. Could there be some truth to the idea? Sure, but I don't think it's nearly as common as people want it to be.

I see it as you read what you want into it. You give it meaning, and apply it yourself, but because this is unconscious, it seems like you are being told. It is like Tarot readings. You make whatever you are told apply. So yes, they work, but not because of some supernatural dimension influencing ours.

Things like the existence of ghosts/spirits and UFOs should be studied and investigated. They are unexplained and need to be explained.

It's not so much that I disbelieve in them, or think them rubbish; I do feel that they are a waste of taxpayer's money, when used by government forces in an investigation, however. If they're privately funded, by all means, they've a good chance of working, on the premise that the paranormal is real, but since that's not proven, I'd hate to think that my money's being wasted on some gamble rather than a scientific procedure with methods grounded in logic and the explanable.
