Answer 1

Jeffrey J Kripal is a professer at Rice university , he spoked to faculty and students about opening up their mind towards the idea of paranomal as an integral part of studing relegion, he calls himself empiricist of relegious experience , he is facinated by primal spiritual encounters . Yes i do.Paranomal events often resemble stories,said Kripal.The stories are molded and polished sometimes it is exaggerated, but they are still built on something real and historical core,paranomal events are not asmuch about the mechanismsas they are about meanings behind them. According to Kripal paranomal is often seperated from what scholars think.

Kripal spoke on CNN about a lady who owned saloon in New Jersey, her friend appeared at the door of salon thanking her for helping him through his divorse, as he was deiling with loosing custody of his child , he stayed breifly to thank her then quickly went off his way , later it was reported that the man had commited suicide nine hrs before thanking her at her saloon, the problem is not about historical events but our assumptions of what human is concious ,said Kripal.

Kripal also foccused the idea of telepathy, defining the pathos at a distance.
