Shouldn't get involved really, but... if this is really what Peter Bowditch
said, only the last one stands up. I can't see how the others have any
bearing on the question.
If someone can CONSISTENTLY tell you something that they couldn't have known
by any normal means, at least more often than they could by chance, then
it's paranormal - however eccentric their methods.
(I'm being hypothetical. Herc's never so far done that for me personally.
There have been odd incidents, but they've all been one-offs separated by
many fluffs.)
