Michael Snoswell's Journal: Who believes in the paranormal anyway?

As a scientifically trained person paranormal stuff is either rubbish or can be explained away by other reasons, right? Right. No need to resort to suprnatural weirdo explanations.

Ok, so I'm in the kitchen on a Sunday afternoon preparing dinner with my wife. It's been a quiet day at home with the 4 kids. She turns to me suddenly and says, "Something bad is going to happen." Like what? I want to know, how do you know? She can't explain and just says something really bad is going to happen and it is to do with us - our family.

Well heck, that ruined the peaceful afternoon. But then 5 minutes later nothing had happened. I was starting to get really annoyed. We had been happily joking and getting the evening meal ready. We'd been together the whole day. Like how would she know something bad was going to happen? 10 minutes later there's a knock on the front door and there's two police officers standing there: it turned out to be a very very bad afternoon for the family. I wont give the details - "personal reasons" but heck, that paranormal stuff isn't true is it? Like, there's a good scientific explanation for this????
