Including "real" and "paranormal" in the same sentence might start a whirlwind debate. By definition, the paranormal and parapsychology (the study of paranormal phenomena) have wobbly footing within the scientific community.

A ghost or apparition is the spirit of a dead person or animal, which appears in visible form to the living. With so many paranormal research groups roaming the globe these days (EVP recorders and infrared cameras in tow), it seems there is show for every kind of ghost lover.
