I'm not sure if this happens to everyone, but discussing paranormal activities without a skeptic around usually generates a welcoming environment for more to occur. I was wondering why that is? Is it because likeness attracts likeness, can it be discarded as the manifestation of thoughts upon paranoia, or is it something else entirely I wonder?

I think it is partly the like attracting like. I also think it has to do with mental defenses. When a skeptic is present they tend to hold an attitude that they are more logical/smarter than the believers who they perceive as flighty and childish which comes across in the discussion and puts an attack/defend spin on the conversation, and when we are being defensive we tend to close ourselves off a little, to protect our beliefs and emotions. When we are closed be block out energies and possibilities we don't when we are psychically open.

Are you asking if talking about the paranormal will cause thigns to happen (without a skeptic present)? I remember asking this somewhere else actually, because there have been two occasions that I had been speaking with my sister about something paranormal and all of a sudden, there is something that happens: the bronze cat on the wall shelf is suddenly in the middle of the room, the oven mitt falls off it's perch. Wow, is it something I said? Literally?
It makes me wonder if perhaps they don't want to be talked about; that or they are humouring us, showing us that we are right, that they are there?
