I am strongly of the opinion that their "paranormal related problems" were due in no small part to the ignorance and superstition instilled in those unfortunate people by the priesthood, and by a culture that values faith above reason.
I live in an old house in a neighbourhood notorious for alleged paranormal activity, so much so that a former co-worker mentioned odd goings-on at a house a short distance from my home. Interestingly, I have no paranormal problems whatsoever, nor have I heard any mention of such from any of my neighbours. It would appear that hauntings only happen to people who believe in them, and are therefore more likely to be a trick of the imagination than an actual supernatural occurrence.
