Much skepticism exists around the subject of psychic phenomena,
and this is probably not a bad thing, given its very checkered
past. Fake mediums, bogus mind readers, magic tricks passed off
as the real thing. The list goes on.
Hence, the use of Science should be welcomed in helping to verify some of the psychic community's claims.
However, this can also become unhealthy for several reasons, and it is equally important to stand guard against

The sad truth is that the field of psychic investigation, with only very rare exceptions, fails to excite or attract the very scientific brains. Career-wise, the field of psychic investigation is extremely badly funded, is nearly impossible to make a solid, respected career in, and is the source of endless derision from mainstream scientists and diehard skeptics.

Science cannot "prove" a negative.
Thus, in the realm of psychic manifestations, science cannot categorically insist that there is no such thing. You CANNOT PROVE that ghosts do not exist, for instance. You can only say that, to date, there has been no conclusive proof that they DO. That is NOT the same as saying that they do NOT.
