Here is a quick one on the myth of "paranormal unity":
I find the idea of paranormal "unity" absurd. I have also never seen anything good come out of it, besides drama. The drama, however, is not why I object to unity in the paranormal field. Why you may ask? It's simple.
I do my own research in my own time. I am not hung up on getting on TV, in the newspaper, selling books or DVDs, or wearing one of those Spooky McSpookster matching ghost hunter t-shirts. I am in this field for research and the only audience I would ever need is that of the scientific community(unlikely).
When, if ever(unlikely again), I have a paper to publish on my research; I can promise you that it will not be the paranormal community, or anyone in it, that I submit it to. In other words, the paranormal community is moot and not necessary for research. In all honesty, it is merely a sideshow and not a very good one at that.
