What about pictures?

I got me some really good film clips yesterday! Ashles, if you find any Kulagina-clip, please remember me. Thanks Groo, wipeout, JimTheBrit and phildonnia -- the moon landing set up was really cool!

But what about stills, snapshots and candids? I remember one picture of Uri Geller on stage peeking on a black board from behind a screen and John Edward peeking through a screen in a Schwartz experiment (I think it's in a week commentary by Randi).

Do you have any links to pictures catching the paranormal celebs with their pants down?

Best regards,

Awesome, Ashles -- thanks! But how the h**l do they get away with it all??? Well, I guess that's why we're here...

Best regards,

People want to believe. It's sadly that simple.

It's like reading a really exciting and intriguing book, but then pretending it's real.
 
That's what I don't get. Most people, if you asked them, would claim to hate to be duped.

In that case why do so many of them go out of their way to accept so many of these ludicrous claims.

So many psychics have been shown to be frauds. But people don't as a result distrust psychics, theychoose to believe in other psychics instead - "I'm sure this one's real".

No-one can find any evidence that any psychic has ever solved any crime ever. Yet people still choose to believe that 'Psychics help police'.

Enormous amounts of evidence point towards evolution being a sound theory yet people choose to ignore this evidence and actualy make up lies to try and make creationism sound plausible.

etc. ad nauseam


People may not want to be duped, but they spend an enormous amount of time and money into allowing themselves to be. It's really strange.

I don't think it's that strange at all. A man has a problem, and is told by a friend that there is a very good psychic who can help him. He visits this psychic and is amazed by what he sees. You tell him that he has only seen a magic trick. Now he has a choice -- he can believe that the psychic is real, or he can believe that he has been duped.

People love to be duped. What they hate is to recognize and admit that they've been duped.
