Whether or not the paranormal is real is not much relevant here, at least not until later in this post. The question is, does the paranormal share a correlation with solar flares? First of all, sometimes Earth's magnetic field fluctuates, which means that solar flares cause auroras where there are usually none. Even though the Earth's magnetic field is incredibly powerful, and solar flares can still cause the ground to be electrified, there is another form of radiation which comes from much farther away and is far more powerful than the energy reaching us from our sun; This is what's called cosmic radiation, or cosmic rays. Why is this important? Well, cosmic rays are an interesting phenomenon, because we can't really study this type of radiation. The reason it's so difficult to study, is because of the fact that our modern technology is just not up to the task (our lack of technology). It would really be neat to document the fluctuations in these rays, so that we might correlate this with instances of what many people say they consider paranormal activity, as well as maybe correlate the activity with solar activity. After all, this radiation might cause our minds to work differently. And if we ever find a correlation between cosmic radiation and/or solar flares with reports of paranormal activity, then we might just discover the key to solving various strange occurrences. How would people react to such information?! People who think paranormal activity is about the supernatural will likely think that radiation from space lends ghosts an energy source that can be manipulated, or that during a surge of radiation, our minds become significantly more sensitive to various supernatural signals. From a scientific perspective, people would likely argue that this could instead be the result of radiation influencing our mind, or state of being. This could explain things that people seem to notice that have been left unexplained. What's interesting about all of this, is that theoretically, we could try to become sensitive to energies that surge through the atmosphere, such as radio waves.
More Information
Cosmic rays are phenomenally intriguing, since we probably don't know much about how they react with matter. How do their characteristics or behavior compare to that of other ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum? For example, UV fluoresces in the visible spectrum such as a black light, while the colors of the visible spectrum behave polarized such as in polarized microscopy; do cosmic rays also have these behaviors?!
