Know less?
The spooks know less? On the contrary, they know just as much,and "possibly" even more. What I think their problem is though..is in dealing with it. Even though they may have the minute details all drawn up and categorized, they still are clueless to the spiritual side of the phenomena which puzzles them because they haven't changed their scientific views of the universe yet.
Oh, and they are powerless to stop it, which makes them go home at night and bang their heads against the wall.😛
