Then again, though, "Low levels of serotonin may also be associated with intense spiritual experiences".

Eight more were injured, some seriously, in the tragedy when they jumped 20ft into a car park in Paris suburb of La Verriere.
The baffling incident occurred when a wife woke to see her husband moving about naked in the room, police said.

I know how they feel - once I dreamt I saw Dick Cheney naked, and I ran screaming out of the bedroom.

I think there are a lot of non-religious folks that believe in ghosts, goblins, demons, etc. Look at some of the movies hollywood is turning out nowadays--especially with Halloween right around the corner.

The article didn't say if they were religious--or what religion. Maybe they were catholic (the prominent religion in that area), or maybe they were into voodoo. Heck...maybe they weren't normally religious, but ate too many tostitos while watching a horror movie before bed.

Hollywood, just like religion, is filled with fantasy.
No proof of a god thing now, is there?
Who believes in the devil? christers.

BTW, catholics are the original christers; all others christers came from them.

Ok someone put something in their water! or the French are a bit off, take your pick. This is very strange, even for the French.

Nah, these guys apparently just got off the boat not too long ago. They are Africans (allegedly from Angola).
