Skeptics are often folks who have views contrary to beliefs in the paranormal. Often they may have limited information into the research and facts concerning the paranormal.
The existence of ghosts, UFOs, and big foot are just some of the subjects bound to create a large dispute as to whether they exist or not.
Often for most people, they would have to have some sort of encounter before believing in such things as listed above. Still others would have a hard time believing in anything paranormal. After all there isn't any real proof these things are real and indeed do or may exist.
Keep in mind, some people my have physical limitations that could keep them from hearing or seeing things in audio or video clips. Color blindness is but one example of these limitations.
Often people only have parts of the facts before making up their minds about such things or limited experiences in dealing with the paranormal. So what are some of the established facts people often over look?
EVP is one. EVP has been well researched under scientific conditions and proven to be fact! The voices are interactive answering questions. Even the Catholic Church conducted studies into EVP!Anyone can experiment and try it for themselves! We can't prove the sources of the voices, they do indeed exist.

Ghost don't exist some will say, however there seems to be well documented cases of ghosts as well! One case well documented is the case of the Bell Witch. The ghost, or as many believe could have been a demon; was said to be the cause of John Bells death. The fact remains. Something indeed strange happened in this case which many people were a witness to.

We can't say this is "proof" however some facts are found with in the information with in the links. Some folks may skew the facts to fit their beliefs. Some of the feats of these people are over looked in some cases. Ask yourself, how much research have you conducted before making up your mind? Are things possible we don't understand at this time? Some facts may alter the way you think , or what you know! An open mind is best, an objective education is the key to understanding what might be happening.
