I do believe in spooks, I do believe in spooks

I'm watching Jimmy Kimmel and there's older gentlemen as a guest that is considered a mentalist. I didn't really understand exactly what he was saying, and he claimed it wasn't a magic trick, but basically an hour earlier he had a bunch of audience members put their hands on a table. When they came back in the same positions and did it again, the tables vibrated and moved across the floor. He described as some sort of weird kinetic energy, although I thought it was weird that he could control it that well. He also stated that it wasn't ghosts or anything line that.

I saw this guy on the news once that was supposed to be the world's smartest mentalist something like that, and in short he could basically always tell if people were lying. He explained that he's not a psychic or anything he just has the ability to read what people say through their facial emotions. However, somehow he had a theater full of people write down a number and then had an assistant add them together, and he was able to guess the number of the first try. I know that sounds somewhat fake but it was 60 minutes or something like that.

My girlfriend Mandy likes to watch the show Ghosthunters, whether it's because she likes ghosts or because they guys that are the ghosthunters are from our home town in Rhode Island, so once in a blue moon I'll watch it with her. I must say that I rarely find anything on the show at all convincing, probably because I have no way of knowing if the tools they use actually measure anything at all. However, usually about once a show something will happen weird enough where it can't be blamed on say, wind.

How do you feel about all this crazy paranormal mentalist stuff? Can really The Men That Stare at Goats really do this crazy stuff? Or is it just camera tricks and magician garbage?
