"Joe Nickell, a senior research fellow for the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry and author of shroud books, says the skeptics' view can be summed up in one sentence: "We just say this is the work of a confessed forger around the middle of the 14th century."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by SSEEGGilbert (talk • contribs) 00:16, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
 * http://castroller.com/podcasts/ParanormalPodcast/2315710 5/16/11  Jim Harold   What disturbs you most about paranormal investigations over the last decades. "Most people approach it with a conviction.  They think with their emotions... or their mother has died and they think that ... and a conviction that...on the other hand there's a smaller group that says Bah, humbug...wouldn't walk across the street to investigation...scientifically stupid...both groups have pretty much got their minds made up then they look for evidence...What I've tried to do...angry letters, death threats...I'm a genuine detective...is to be neither a true believer nor a dismissive debunker.  One should free up one's mind ...look at the case, go on scene whenever possible...look for evidence, sort out and get the best evidence...prioritize and see where the evidence leads and believe that, like it or not.

"We should look for the truth because the truth matters," he says, "and we should face reality because, well – we can look at the Dark Ages and see where it gets us if we don't. The idea that we shouldn't solve mysteries is foreign to the human experience. The progress of science is a series of solved mysteries."
