Paranormal is normal, controversial scientist says

Are these situations familiar?

You are in an elevator and have a strong sense someone is staring at you. Or you are thinking about somebody and the phone rings: That person is on the line. Or your long-time partner routinely finishes your sentences, seeming to know what you are about to say. (Related story: There's a gut feeling about this whole intuition thing)

Such unexplained abilities, including telepathy, premonitions and the sense of being stared at, are not paranormal; they are normal, Rupert Sheldrake says.

Here is the rest of the story:

It makes sense...The "supernatural" is only the true natural state of this world. However, since mainstream science still hasn't figured it out yet, they try to push it into a category that makes it sound like it *shouldn't* be that way...They can't define it, can't figure out how it works, so they label it as being something that makes it seem *un*natutal.

It's the scientific version of religious dogma in action...

See...now that 'someone' actually comes out and says it's 'normal' means it is-so does this mean there is no 'para' normal? Why yes it does..society has given those things a name and until everyone can actually prove it's all normal they just label it paranormal

What a damn confusing world we live in..noone really knows anything, I'm convinced..

That's why this "art of debunkery article is so good". It points out exactly how dogmatic some scientists, skeptics and debunkers can be.
