Have you notice we are like the only country where paranormal news is a norm

Its because viewers bite these kind of stories. And, of course, the media takes advantage of that, because that's how business goes. It's just like how recording companies give a singing career to someone who obviously doesn't have the talent in singing, but because they have good fan base, then that means business.

I've noticed that too. For other countries, they are more inclined to UFO sightings compared to us, but definitely those news don't make CNN or anything as such. More likely, they are featured at some local state news. Here in our country, I guess, we are more mesmerized and amazed with ghost sightings, demonic possessions and even some apparitions and these news actually increase during the Lenten season and Undas or All Saints' & Souls' Days. I guess news programs get a hold of such stories because they never fail to entertain and increase show ratings since most of us are still superstitious when it comes to supernatural beings.

I would rather believe in UFOs rather than the paranormal activities. News reports can offer the paranormal events as a short feature, but not to the extent to make it as a news given a significant air time. Did you noticed that demonic possessions of people or students occurs when there is a TV crew around?

I have no idea either, but you are right, I have never heard of possession headlines in the US. Maybe it is because we still have people who believe in them and even worship 'engkantos'...especially in the provinces.

hi Albert, I'm sorry but I beg to disagree that we are the only country that views paranormal as normal, maybe some countries just do not have programs or Anchors like Miss Korina Sanchez, perhaps if they air programs like this from African countries or the Caribbean or in countries where religious beliefs like vodoo are rampant then perhaps we would think of our selves as not so exclusive, but to be fair I think you also have a good point cause we are one of them or has the previlge to have such programs in news and T.V.

I wish we did have more paranormal news in my country (UK)! The best we seem to get over here is something like 'Most Haunted', which is a 'reality' show where a team of ghost hunters/psychic mediums investigate haunted properties and places. It can become quite laughable at times though. It would be so much better if we actually reported paranormal incidents through more mainstream channels and reporting feeds instead of through sometimes-dramatized TV shows.

Yes! How many things happen in this world and in the end they come with explanations that so many times does it's not satisfatory. But if we could also list all the unsolved cases there would be indication that 'something' exists.

Here in the USA our government has a good bit of control over what goes on TV. Because the paranormal does not fit into the safe enviroment they wish to portray it may cause hystaria. The things you spoke of may still happen but it is hidden from the average citizen. We do have shows for entertainment like x-files and Ghost Hunters. UFO's don't exist (though i swear I saw one this one time) and stories are made to cover what you think you saw.
