Its not uncommon for news media to "spin" a story for ratings, especially when the story covers a controversial subject such as this Passion of Christ movie.
Not saying these things didnt happen to the movie crew etc, but weird things have happend in other instances of making movies of this kind. The little girl in Poltergist (sp) had horrible dreams and eventually committed suicide a few years later after that movie came out. In the making of Amityville Horror, many of the movie crew experienced weird things on the set, dreams and other strange stuff.
Question is...are these things actual supernatural occurances or are they cooincidence and tricks of the mind?
Thought is very powerfull, one can think of something enough times, that something becomes real to that person. The human psyche is something not fully understood yet, thus many things that occur in odd ball situations might be taken as something it is not.
