A few years ago, I was contacted by a Pre-production person from a major TV and Movie production company to get "research" information on SHC. They wanted to do a segment on it as part of a "paranormal" TV series (warning flag #1).

I spent a great deal of time dealing with this very rational person because hey, let's face it, getting one's name up in lights would be cool.

Of course, when the science I was telling them about didn't match or support their "whoo - whoo" (to steal a term from James Randi) notions of the topic, we soon parted company. The nice rational person said he thought it was "crap" too but a job is a job and this "whoo - whoo" stuff sells.

I never did hear about the series getting made but I'm sure that the misinformation will continue; people will believe what they want to believe.

Just have a look at all the psuedo-paranormal/psychic stuff that is being passed off as edu-tainment now.

No $; no name in lights; integrity still intact.
