Introduction	With all of the videos, personal testimonies and words written on the subjects of the supernatural, alien encounters, outer-body experiences and a whole host of other topics, there is still no definitive evidence that anything exists beyond the materialist, physical world presented to us every day. Despite this, a 2005 Gallup Poll taken from a population of 3017 Americans, Canadians and Britons determined that 73% of those polled believe in at least one of 10 paranormal topics; including: extrasensory perception, haunted houses, ghosts, telepathy, clairvoyance, astrology, communication with the dead, witches, reincarnation, and, finally, channeling spiritual entities. So, when considering the disparity in what “facts” exist regarding the paranormal and what people actually believe, what, then, is the elusive truth? Is the paranormal a relic of some primitive world, a product of unyielding dogmas?Or, do these paranormal events remain hidden due to falling outside the realm that human being’s five senses can document and record? These are the questions the authors of this article, one a skeptic siding more with materialists and the other quite the opposite, seek to answer.
