Those are not all hoaxes

The article Jacques Aymar-Vernay does not contain any indication that Aymar-Vernay was a hoaxer. Given that his activities led to the horrible death of a very probably innocent person on the wheel, the man was definitely either convinced himself or an unscrupulous fraud.

Other articles, such as Human magnetism, describe not one person but something several persons did, some of which may have been frauds, others hoaxers, and still others dead serious about their alleged abilities.

At the moment, I do not have a good suggestion on how to improve the situation, but it is not satisfying. Splitting off Category:Paranormal fraud and Category:Paranormal delusion will only hold the clear cases. Any ideas? --Hob Gadling (talk) 10:44, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
