Day in and day out we are bombarded with tales of mysterious and unnatural happenings. It is often easy to dismiss these stories as the products of overactive imaginations and susceptible personalities, but every so often we are faced with something that defies any attempt at logical explanation. It is this kind of phenomena that forces us to question the meaning of existence and re-evaluate our position in the universe. Of course it could be argued that any belief in the supernatural is simply attributable to a deep-seated fear of one's own mortality, but it is important to bear in mind that while it is true that nobody has ever caterogically proved the existence of the paranormal, nobody has ever disproved it either.
