This is really interesting. A university researcher explores the lives of people who believe in the paranormal -- UFOs, Bigfoot, Satanic panic, witchcraft, and so on.

It's fascinating how similar all of the different groups are and how real world social fears and moral panics are behind the paranormal. Lack of proof is not a problem.

The most interesting part is the speaking in tongues segment.

Ex-Mormons will be interested in the "why would you leave the subculture when conventional society thinks you're crazy?" part.

FF to about 24:00 to skip the intro
