Anyone have opinions? They had a photo in the paper yesterday showing the daughter in the family cowering back in a chair as the telephone handset apparently flew across in front of her. Obviously this could be a fake. However, they have had a number of witnesses who saw things flying around, breaking, etc. Do you suppose the Amazing Randi has gone there yet? This seems to be right up his alley, if its a fake, and if it isn't then he can write them a check, right? Just now watching the news - they had a "live film" report of this business. Centers on the teenage (14) daughter, the whole family remains very skeptical and calm. Nothing happened on camera, but, according to the article, incidents have been witnessed by friends, the news crew, and three Mormon missionaries (this is happening in Columbis, Ohio). They were trying to figure out which "psychic researchers" to call in. I hope Randi is watching. After the article, the local news folk, all three of them, broke out in mock-ghostly moans (ooOOOOooo). Of course this is followed by Joan "mouth" Rivers on the Tonite Show with Jeanne Dixon. Gack. That woman couldn't predict her way out of a paper bag. Hutch
