Ashley Knibb muses on the concept of “paranormal tourist,” which he defines as those who attend “ghost hunt events at darkened locations” and “make up a large part of the paranormal community.” Given the increase in TV coverage of the field nowadays, Ashley reckons that such groups often seek a “personal experience” of the paranormal. Matt Schofield, however, ponders What Paranormal Researchers Get Wrong When They Talk About Quantum Physics. He feels that their understanding of the topic, which has been adopted by such groups, is imperfect, though admits that, “something unknown is influencing reality.” But one person’s reality is another’s cause for eye-rolling, leading Joe Pierre to contemplate Tin Foil Hats: Tired Trope or Sign of the Times? Though there’s plenty about which to be paranoid on our unhappy planet, adorning one’s cranium or other body parts with a thin aluminum sheet is not going to give humans protection from “unseen energy attacks” or telepathic mind control. Joe reckons “we’d be better off unplugging from the internet” and, given that so much paranoia arises from its use, he may well be right. (LP)
