    Thought I should post this link, the site searches a large number of molecular biology and journal databases, pubmed usually return the most hits but they also take in psychology abstracts, so you will get a good few interesting hits if you search from the homepage with a keyword - 'paranormal' works good, specific but not too broad

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/

    This is an interesting one, its a bibliographical search of paranormal phenomena reported in medical literature and gives short abstracts on each topic (auditory hallucination, lycanthropy, case of systemic lupus 'treated' through witchcraft....)

    Looks like an interesting find.
    Thought there is one problem with it.
    lupus 'treated' through witchcraft....
    It's not lupus.

    Its not?

    The citation for the original article is in the bibliography, but as far as I know it was diagnosed by a medic with full criteria (I dont know, I know nothing of medicine and I cant access the article from which the lupus case was sourced initially - they mention in the one I linked to that it was diagnosed in clinical setting).
