National Geographic has this Is It Real? series that basically debunks every paranormal thing ever. None of it exists. It's all just stupid people.

mmmm whachusay

Part of me thinks that nothing can be completely untrue (the paranormal) considering the vast amount of eye witness accounts throughout the century. But people are pretty dumb.

Sicilian town battles "demonic" blazes
ROME (Reuters) - A Sicilian town is struggling to work out
why dozens of household items from fridge-freezers to
furniture keep mysteriously bursting into flame, terrifying
locals and sparking theories of demonic intervention.
Since mid-January dozens of electrical goods and pieces of
furniture have spontaneously gone up in flames, causing huge
damage in Canneto di Caronia, a small town perched on the
Mediterranean island's rocky coast.
"I've seen unplugged electrical cables burst into flames with
my own eyes, but I just can't explain it," a local policeman
who did not want to be named said on Wednesday. "I've never
seen anything like it."
Electricity Goes Wild.
CANNETO DI CARONIA, Sicily - There are many ways for evil to arrive
That about sums up the collective psyche of this stone-filled village
perched above the sea after a series of puzzling electrical shorts,
unexplained fires and smoky outbursts that struck in nine houses,
displacing 17 families.
First to explode was Nino Pezzino's television, two days before
Christmas.
Fuse boxes then blew in houses all along the Via Mare.
Air-conditioners erupted even when unplugged. Fires started
spontaneously. Kitchen appliances went up in smoke. A roomful of
wedding gifts was crisped. Computers jammed. Cellphones rang when no
one was calling, and electronic door locks in empty cars went
demonically up and down.
The only plausible answer they came up with:
As a practical matter, the scientists took notes, mapped the strange
occurrences, used Geiger counters and interviewed witnesses. But in
the end officials from several agencies, including the National
Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology and the National Research
Center, were left with only hypotheses.
One was that high pressure from under the crust of this volcanic spit
of land on Sicily's northern coast had caused underground shifts that
released electrical energy that eventually found its way to the
village.
The supercharged ions, once in contact with man-made electronic
devices, may have caused sparks to fly, the scientists say, especially
since the hamlet is near transmission lines and railroad tracks. But
the fires could just as easily have been caused by some unexplainable
problem in the atmosphere, Mr. Martella said.
"The cause of the fires seems to have been static electric charges,"
he said. "What we don't understand is why there were these static
electric charges."
