Can Paranormal Entities affect the weather?

Don't get your Paranormal information from horror movies . That's why both Flakey believers and Skeptics alike usually do not know what they are talking about when it comes to paranormal matters, preventing a proper study of so called paranormal events by Science.

READ ALL the BOOKS you can on real paranormal events so you know what the real thing looks like. Scary stories, Movies and Tabloid articles are poor information sources.

No, there are no reports of weather being affected by entities associated with Paranormal phenomena.

I'm open minded--I'm prefectly willing and ready to adopt any paranormal claim into my personal belief system, just as soon as anyone can present convincing and compelling, falsifiable evidence that one exists, and the evidence is robust enough to withstand testing by scientifically-controlled methods. So far, only scientific claims fall into that category. Of course, things would no longer be considered to be paranormal in that event, since they would then fall into the realm of real science.

So, where were we? Oh, yes, your question. There was someone here a couple of weeks ago, insisting that she could cause small clouds to melt by staring at them and concentrating really hard. When I pointed out that I figured out that trick back when I was a stoner, and that clouds just do that all the time, whether someone is watching them or not, she wasn't happy with that answer, but that's the truth. There are no psychic powers that affect the weather. How could there be? What would happen when you had one "aerokinetic" master telling the wind to blow west, and another one making it go east? Would they mutually annihilate? Or would the wind just do what it would have anyway?

.

Winds usually have a predominate direction, but within that there are often gusts that briefly blow a different for a short time. Someone who is confident that she can control the direction of the wind can stand outside, perhaps with arms outstretched, and concentrate for the northerly wind to blow east, and after long enough, she might just get her wish, and continue believing the delusion that she can control the wind. Of course, the wind quickly begins blowing north again, but that aerokinesis is hard work, so we wouldn't expect her to keep that up all day, would we?

.

The human capacity for self-deception is almost boundless. We'll sometimes see people here asking how to strengthen their telekinetic powers, because so far all they've been able to do is spin a psi wheel. When the skeptic points out that psi wheels spin just as well with cups of hot water next to them as they do with the believer's warm hands, they get snippy and accuse the skeptic of not being open minded enough. When the skeptic asks if quadraplegics aren't open minded enough, reasoning that if anyone were motivated to develop telekinetic powers, it would be someone unable to move their arms or legs, no answer is forthcoming. Not once have I had that question answered by a telekinetic believer. It's simply not a question of being open or closeminded--it's a matter of what is real, and what is not. Paranormal claims are not, though as I said, I'm willing to believe, just as soon as someone can actually prove a paranormal claim. Easily fabricated stories don't do it.

EDIT: I understand, at least to a point, your frustration with answers that only say something like "Ghosts don't exist, don't be an idiot". I call those drive-by answers, because they just spray a few bullets without regard to where they go. While I occasionally stray, I'm in the camp that believes one catches more flies with honey than with vineagar, so I don't ordinarily respond unless I can present a cogent counterargument to whatever assertions I see in the question. I believe that virtually all supernatural claims have natural explanations. Your question, though, discusses a fictional movie, and in that context people seem to assume that you are interpreting it as being real, while all you're really doing is asking a question, albeit a bit of an absurd one in many people's view. That doesn't mean that you aren't deserving of a decent answer, and I wish my fellow skeptics would take that to heart.

Okay, I'll try to keep this as non-dickish as possible.

No, they can't. There's little reason to believe that paranormal entities really exist. We can predict weather patterns with a fair degree of accuracy, days and weeks in advance. It has nothing to do with grumpy demons or hormonal ghosts.

No "demons/ghosts/paranormal entities" have ever been shown to exist, so you are jumping the gun.

Moreover, we have a very good understanding of what causes weather patterns/changes - there are no unanswered questions that require paranormal explanations.

EDIT: Its good to have an open mind. Just not so open your brains fall out...

EDIT: @Christian in Jesus - what the hell man??

There is some speculation to whether weather conditions and fluctuating EM fields can make paranormal phenomenon more conductive. Also ghosts are often believed to create cold spots . Also during alleged Poltergeist activity individuals have claimed that liquids such as water has leaked from walls with no apparrent source.

If you saw it in a movie, it must be true.

I saw a movie once where Santa Claus conquered the martians.

Before I saw that, I didn't even know that the martians knew about Santa Claus!

Glad I could be of help. Gee, It's a good thing I'm here to give you an open minded answer. I wouldn't want someone of your obvious maturity to have to put up with all those childish answers.

Well, at least they're not throwing tantrums and swearing at you. I suppose they are just so in awe of your maturity that they'd never do that.

no, there are no paranormal entities. YOU should be OPEN MINDED enough to accept the truth.

But other than that, all other things you ever see in a movie are absolutely true, (spiderman, the incredible hulk.Mr Spock, etc) so it's easy to see why you fell for that ONE THING in movies that isn't totally for real.

Sure, I'll answer this one. I was just looking at our weather trend and recalled some lessons on how we control poltergeist activity using cinnamon in our water pipes to keep them free from the paranormal events surrounding water. The behavior of water (God's was upon the face of the water) doesn't behave like other substances. It can phase in all sorts of different ways. There is a bipolar mole, this creates all sorts of reactions. If you study hydrogen molecules you will see that this compound has the ability to pass beyond the rigid confines of molecular structure. Our weather is a huge water experiment that is infinite, never ending. The origin of paranormal behavior relies upon water to pass through the density of substances in this universe.

There are no paranormal entities so they can't affect the weather any more than a unicorn can.

It's a MOVIE. There are no ghosts or spirits or paranormal entities of any kind.
