   1) Careful observation, with the help of an expert eg a stage magician to prevent cheating

   2) No, despite extensive efforts

   Look up James “the amazing” Randi for more info, and for rebuttal of all claims to date

   It can’t be verified in a conventional manner I would think. This depends on the person. If you bias it with so called rational thinking you will not experience anything. This really depends on you! I highly doubt you could prove anything to James Randi because he would probably bias it with his own beliefs.

   The scientific method is all about isolating aspects of a problem and figuring out what effects changes in those aspects bring about.
   Lets say a ghost is haunting a location. If you can draw this ghost out in a repeatable manner, and say have it show up on a photo, or video, or even an audio, then this would be a crude, but scientific way of verifying ghosts.

   There are some things that were thought to be paranormal at one time, that science has identified, like germs.

   Actually, by definition, something paranormal is not approachable by science, therefore if science did verify something which was paranormal, it would no longer be considered paranormal, it would be an identified part of the natural world. We can’t see germs, and some people might doubt they exist, but they are not considered paranormal, because science has been able to identify their existence. The same thing would happen if science identified ghosts as real. They would no longer be paranormal.

   So anything currently classified as paranormal, has not been verified as real.
