Science Is In The Paranormal Shivers

The increasingly sporadic weather has me once again thinking of climate change and how some people are so willing to ignore 95% of scientists.

I suppose if one is not a scientist, or one does not have acumen in the area, it’s difficult to accept the theories that one may not upon first impression understand intellectually.  But that’s no reason to doubt the curriculum vitae of scientists and disregard their years of thought and effort.  Not to mention everyday empirical evidence of the drastically warmer and colder days we’re experiencing, warmer and colder than those past days of the same dates.  Evidence that makes your body sweat more than it ever has, or shiver greater than it ever has, is simply hard to sidestep. 

This brings me to the “shivers” that are sometimes associated with firsthand experiences with the paranormal. 

People who encounter these experiences often report tangible feeling, like being brushed up against, or they report a physical reaction in their body to the experience, the reaction most universally being a “shiver,” or a slight trembling, or something reminiscent of the feeling of “hairs standing up on the back of the neck.”  If these reports are valid, although one may assume it’s the literal entity that is interacting with him physically, it may very well be a physical reaction to the temperature of the environment.  For example, some ghost hunters have been known to keep rooms that are supposedly “haunted” extra cold, as a way to facilitate the extraction of an entity.  On the flipside, it may indeed be the entity that is causing the temperature shift, and therefore causing a reaction in the individual.  If we do not immediately see the explanation, then we must consider alternate theories for the cause.
