I watch Ghost Hunters on Sci-Fi and it has nothing to do with age. Are you going to tell me that the Native Americans didn't have a spiritual side? Superstitions, folklore, and other such beliefs were thought to be backward and based in ignorance. In doing this we lost a great part of the spiritual beliefs that so many had. People with a "sensitivity" to the supernatural were weeded out centuries ago and forced to deny their gifts in order to survive puritanical persecution. Are there con artists out there - OH YEAH. There are also people with genuine gifts that are still forced to hide them or be ridiculed. I think it's Bio Channel that has a show about children with psychic abilities, these children are forced into self-imposed exile to escape the criticism and ignorance. It's sometimes sad to see the horrors that these kids have to deal with, it's also pretty cool when they can back up the claims with hard evidence.
