EDITORIAL Dear All, This month we have an in-depth article regarding the almost unique place in the paranormal universe enjoyed by hospitals, especially psychiatric institutions. Why this should be the case is not clear, but perhaps the fact that they act as a concentrations of, in many cases, severely disturbed individuals acting as ‘amplifiers’ may be one reason. Conventional hospitals may be conducive to a similar effect due to the various tragedies and traumas taking place there on a daily basis. It all seems to tie into the nebulous and fluid nature of paranormal phenomena and the paranormal itself. By the way, recently there was one of the best examples of evidence for poltergeist activity ever in Rutherglen near Glasgow in Scotland. The activity was witnessed as it occurred by police who attended the incident, however it seems that the situation was badly mishandled by the media and the police, the result was that the family concerned effectively shut up shop and closed the doors both literally and figuratively.
