The peoples' reactions aren't surprising at all.

People don't like being proven wrong publicly... it causes a lot of cognitive dissonance. The more strongly they have publicly supported their position beforehand, the more dissonance they feel from the contradictory evidence. You can see the lady in white trying to integrate the experience after the fact... she's trying very hard to find a way to explain the situation that doesn't involve her being completely wrong.

Did I mention how much I love Social Psychology? =)

Seems like Dawkins does too. He likes making examples out of people (to their distress apparently).

I don't find the reactions surprising either. This state of denial is common, and I have been in similar situations myself. Sometimes, however, repeated bashings of evidence can help.

How many times do things like this need to be debunked before it's acceptable to punch the idiots who peddle themselves as having psychic powers in the face?
