I tend to be open minded about all paranormal or mystery phenomena, and will read the cases out there. There are some things I am more skeptical about than others, and at least have some reasons why.

Channelers/Contactees: I am a bit skeptical of this because it is so easy to fake. The voices and body may appear to change, but any good actor can accomplish that. I try to keep an open mind, but too many frauds out there have ruined this.

Remote Viewing/psychics: Again, a good magician can fool people. I tend to be a bit more open minded about these claims than channelers as there are tests that can be done to see if someone does have paranormal abilities. Also, the military did have a remote viewing unit that lasted about a decade. If there was nothing to that, I don't see why they would have kept the unit running for as long as they did.

All other phenomena can have physical or other evidence to help figure out what is going on. I also think a person with an open mind is not afraid to ask the tough questions. Sometimes the answers are ones we don't want to hear, and a true open minded person will accept what that answer is.
