Hold it. He wasn't in the film, but Swank was; and Swank's character isn't paranormal (though I admit that second point is a bit of a quibble). And key advisor is hype -- how many advisors did the film have, anyway?
- ALT2... that skeptic Joe Nickell was an advisor on the 2007 horror film The Reaping, in which actress Hilary Swank plays an investigator of the paranormal?

- ALT2 looks good to me. The citation says the he was "a character consultant" which seems close enough to "advisor" in my opinion. Kyle(talk) 19:09, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
