Please feel free to E-mail me with your own comments on this issue or on anything else included in my Philosophy of Life section. There's not much room left to classify them. They have not been scientifically proven, but neither have they been scientifically disproved. All of the cases I described to you happened in Europe, so it follows that they were probably investigated by the doctors and scientists that live in Europe. Because that's generally true.
Science is a worldwide community.
An Italian phenomenon does not mandate that it can only be investigated by Italians. Any credible results of the ensuing investigation would be published in leading scientific journals and the lead investigators would receive worldwide fame and acclaim for their discoveries. There is plenty of evidence with which to cast serious doubt upon these stories. No, but the burden of proof is on those who allege that the stories are true. Simply saying that something happened is not sufficient.
