Paranormal
Ever since the deluge of paranormal television shows in the early 2000's, it seems like everyone with a tape recorder, digital camera, goofy goth friend who knows Wiccan buzzwords, and an affinity for alleged psychic abilities is suddenly a paranormal expert. I'm quite skeptical of such outrageous claims of a demonic haunting simply because one day a painting of Grandmother is off kilter in the hallway or a lamp with faulty wiring flickers. Things like a closing door are easily explained by air flow through the house creating suction and shutting the door. Seriously, I learned that when I was 8 years old at grandma's house when she turned on the attic fan and the front door would open. An orb in a picture is almost always dust or insects. Someone having erratic behavior does not mean they are possessed by an ancient Sumerian demon named Bezagorathicon-Ba'al. Maybe the person is a drama queen, crazy, or simply wants attention. There is just way too much nonsense going on in the name of the paranormal giving it way too much of an exaggerated fear factor.
