What? I don't think that any paranormal phenomena are at all a result of the Transactional interpretation, however such events are of such a Fortean nature (they are unreproducable) that it is impossible to scientifically study them to reach a real conclusion about their existence or not. Such things are a matter of faith in the individual. Using science or pseudoscientific rationalizations to bolster ones faith in such events is merely a reflection of how weak the individual's faith is. it is an indicator that the individual needs to determine if their faith is really useful, or if it should be chucked all together.
