I know he loves the stories but doesn't feel that it's possible... I believe he's in that grey area. I have always believed and didn't need to experience what I did to do so either. I guess being born into the Roman Catholic religion we were taught about spirits and faith since we were little children. In a way I'm very glad that I was opened up to the spiritual at such an early age. I am the type that roots on priests when they are called in to help with an exorcist or cleansing of a house. Anyways, I wish you all the best with taking that money from Mr. Randi! Believe it or not, but John Columbo, the author of many Canadian paranormal books, including Haunted Toronto, is a skeptic.

I know what I have seen and the evidence I have gathered is real, But when I try to show it to someone else they have a hard time believing it or just accepting it some do and some dont. When someone tells me about Chupracaba or Big Foot or Aliens I have a healthy scepticism but If I want people to believe me then shouldnt I believe them ? Who's Lying and who isnt and who am I to judge I will eventually have indifinitive prove but until then I think I have to give everyone the benefit of the doubt (unless it is blatantly obvious)and then I will part Mr Randi from his money.
