I think we can all agree that since this field of research doesn't get as much serious attention as other things, it fosters the opportunity for things like inaccuracies, misreportings, and lies to be told.  But that doesn't give anyone a good enough reason to condemn everything on this topic, or the whole field of paranormal investigation. 

 One thing I have found while researching these things is that there are nutcases on both sides of the argument that whether on purpose or not are destroying the field of valid and scientific research.  The people who concoct lies and hoaxes are one thing. Plus the hardline skeptics who might I add are some of the most ignorant, close minded, and irrational people I have ever dealt with.  It is this kind of people that wikipedia seems to have crawling out of the woodwork, slaping our pages with massive edits and the ever present clean-up boxes. 

 I bet this person thinks those who believe in such "drivel" as paranormal research are completly uneducated nitwits who have no motivation in life except to promote the spread of nonsencical fairy tales. I'd bet anything that this person thinks we are irrational... 

  "This article is ridiculous! Full of talk of ghosts and paranormal garbage. A TV show "made contact with the nurse"?! No they didn't! It was staged, that sort of thing has been proved time and time again. 

 And how can a hospital for a few hundred people result in 1 death an hour?! 

 Garbage"  

 Ignorance is bliss isn't it?
