This doesn't appear to be paranormal.   Paranormal stuff usually tends to be out-of-body experiences or experiences with ghosts, etc.   This doesn't fall under that category, based on the story. 

We will have to agree to disagree because it does to me.

The word paranormal can be defined as “the occurrence, or perception of, an event without scientific explanation, or other purportedly supernatural phenomena.” Paranormal activity is an encompassing term that includes not only ghosts and hauntings and demonic activity, but also other unexplainable phenomena such as unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and extrasensory perception (ESP), to name just a few. With the proliferation of movies and television shows that in one way or another sensationalize paranormal activity, it is clear that many are indeed fascinated with this realm. In fact, a 2007 low-budget movie titled Paranormal Activity went on to become one of the most profitable movies of all time. How, then, should Christians respond when we read about supposed hauntings and other paranormal occurrences?

A common misconception is that disembodied spirits can remain on earth or perhaps come back to “haunt” or otherwise interact with us. However, nothing in the Bible supports this belief. Rather, “man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). But the Bible does make it clear that there are spirit beings—angels and demons—that operate in the heavenly realm. The angels serve God. They are ministering spirits who are sent by God “to serve those who will inherit salvation” (Hebrews 1:14). Demons, on the other hand, are fallen angels under the control of Satan, and they roam the earth looking to destroy God’s children (1 Peter 5:8). They are cunning and wise and keenly aware of our weaknesses and our propensity to desire that which will satisfy our fleshly desires. Worst of all, they can masquerade as “angels of light” or as “servants of righteousness” (2 Corinthians 11:14–15). Regarding the immensity of Satan’s earthly “operation,” the apostle John reminds us that the “whole world” is under his control (1 John 5:19).

Now, some of the paranormal activity we read about today could very well be hoaxes perpetuated on a public that is all too eager to believe. In some cases, well-meaning people could be innocently mistaken as to what they think they might have seen or experienced. There is probably a logical explanation for much of what gets passed off as “paranormal activity.” However, if there is genuine evil spiritual activity occurring, it would have to be the work of demons. Either way, however, when Christians read or hear of such activity we should not be intrigued by it or drawn to it; rather, we should use it as a solid reminder of the spiritual battle that is the Christian life and the one against whom we struggle. “Our struggle is not against flesh and blood,” but, it is against the “powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 6:12, emphasis added).

Many people are no doubt intrigued by tales of ghosts and hauntings. Yet, if getting angry can give the devil a “foothold” into our lives (Ephesians 4:27), how much more so would a fascination with the “dark forces” of this world that he controls? Jesus Christ came to earth to destroy the devil’s work (1 John 3:8), and it took His death to accomplish it. Our response to paranormal activity, at least as it pertains to any sort of demonic activity, is to be reminded of the evil that ultimately led to our Savior’s great sacrifice. Beyond that, Christians should avoid any and all contact with the paranormal.

But your next post pretty much supports what  I said.  So...

Can you demonstrate ghosts and hauntings, etc. in Neb's article?

As "Got Questions" did say paranormal can include many different activities not just ghosts and hauntings or UFO's.

No, it doesn't.   It doesn't include anything like what is in the article.

Yes, but this does not fit that description.   If he claimed that he was visited by some being that gave him the vision, you could argue it si paranormal.  But there is no phenomena like that in his story. 

By your logic, Mozart would have been "paranormal"  due to his amazing ability to hear music in his head and write it perfectly on paper with no corrections.

Go complain to CBN then.

Please don't get defensive over this. You should really look into the development of the brain during this time.

The hippocampus is a brain structure thought to be crucially involved in the formation of memory for facts and events. At birth and in early childhood this structure is not fully grown, and so memory of birth is unlikely. What's interesting is that the brain structure for emotional memory, the amygdala, is mature in infancy - the outcome of these two facts being that an emotionally significant event during infancy may affect the way a child behaves later in life despite them not being able to remember the actual event.

If paranormal activity is that activity that can not be explained and you say it is not paranormal activity please explain to me how and why this happened. God only knows.

Our brains are amazing. What Mozart experienced could be neurologically explained. There are instances of a person being in a coma for quite some time. That person wakes up and can play the piano like a pro when never having sat at a piano before or can speak fluid Spanish when they have never spoken the language before. Google it. A neurologist probably has an answer.

I don't believe a word of  it (though I am fully pro life), for without words there is no memory. Perhaps he was given a vision but memory?...nawww.

I don't believe it either. I think some people want their 15 seconds of fame  at our expense. I am absolutely 1000% against abortions, myself, but I think we as Christians need to go the extra mile in supporting people who do choose life.  There are too many who hurang people in abortion clinics and then flip them off when they are straggling to raise the kid they ultimately chose to have.
