The Bible doesn't discount soothsayers or claim that paranormal
experiences do not exist. (What I see it saying is that we should
not attempt to indulge in them or use them for guidance). The
problem faced by persons like Shirley McClain, et.al. is, Who are
they in tune to? There are many creatures in the spirit world, not
all of them are in league with God. If God is truth (as He is) and
if there is a truth to the presence of paranormal phenomena (I am
personally undecided, much as I cannot prove my supposition about
the nervous system being an antenna), the question is not about
giving legitimacy to what exists but of only trying to determine its
source.
