Are you interested in the paranormal? Are you a firm believer in concepts like ghosts, witchcraft, and alien abductions? Perhaps you're just dabbling in the paranormal, wetting your feet before diving into the paranormal's deep end. Well, that's why I'm here to help. Below are five undeniable truths about the paranormal that I've formulated after much exposure to various aspects of paranormal belief. I hope this guides you in your quest!

Five Truths About The Paranormal

1. Many of the most fervent believers in the paranormal are suffering from some form of mental illness.
This is apparent just by reading message boards and newsgroups dedicated to the discussion of paranormal topics. Often, paranormal believers are so sure of their causes they'll outright admit to schizophrenia, manic depression and mild brain damage. It's harsh, but true.
2. No valid scientific evidence has ever been presented that proves the existence of any paranormal phenomenon.
Fervent believers say otherwise, but the simple fact is there is no evidence of any paranormal phenomenon. Believers in the paranormal can only cite a handful of "studies" that melt into absurdity once the cold hard light of science is shown on them.
3. The marketplace of paranormal superstitions is rife with outright frauds and con artists.
Just for fun, attend a local "holistic" fair. Be sure to leave your wallet at home! You'll see a convention hall packed with every scam and con ever thought up by new age frauds. Amazingly, these scam artists will rake in serious cash, despite the fact that what they're selling is fraudulent. Listen to the Art Bell or Jeff Rense radio programs some time and think critically about their guests. Don't you find it odd that they are invariably pushing some magic pill or videotape? These are the same nonsense products you find at new age shows.
4. Believing in the paranormal has never improved one's lot in life.
There is just one exception to this rule. See Truth Number 3.
5. Believers in the paranormal are very gullible.
Many of them will believe any story, no matter how outlandish, as long as you use lots of pretentious language. Believers tend to be lonely, confused people. They want an easy, instant answer to their problems, whether those problems are love, money or health. If you want to profit off these believers, you can easily do so. Just pretend to be an educated scientist and you'll gain instant credibility. You don't actually need a degree in science, just say that you have one, or buy a degree from a diploma mill. Mail order degrees are cheap - you too can be a PhD for less than $100.

Here are some more sure-fire ways to Profit From The Paranormal!

  • Create an herbal pill/scent/aroma/chant/ritual and claim it solves a particular problem.
  • Purchase a camera, set it up in a dark field or dark room, open the shutter, then run around with a flashlight. Ghost photography is still big business!
  • Call yourself a "witch" and write a book full of gibberish. Dress all goth and act pretentious. Sooner or later some Wiccan will notice you and want to buy what you've written.
  • Stick a bb under your skin and claim it's an alien implant. Write a Web page about it and you could be on national radio.
  • Throw a pie plate in the air. Take a photo. Instant UFO.
  • Ear candling is big business in paranormal circles. New agers value hydrocolonic therapy. Be the first to combine the two and you could get rich!
