Is it normal to have a mom so damn paranoid?

Ok lets start off with the semi short story. My mom said she needed to pick up a book for my little sister and she's 15, so my little sister gets really excited and happy because she's been talking about wanting these two books about telekinesis and communication with spirits or what not. So my mom hears about this and she gets really upset and says no, crushing my sisters heart of getting those two books she's been wanting forever and a day. When i see this i think she should get them because she's one of the few kids i know who actually get really happy when she hears about getting books and my mom should be glad of that. And so my little sisters pissed because she's been telling my mom about the books but my mom is now acting like she never heard this. i ask our mom why she cant have the books and my mom goes ape shit saying "I don't want spirits coming in here by the information she brings in!!!" i leave because i don't feel like arguing and end of story so is it actually normal for my mom to go ape shit over some books?!? (ps: she's running around with sage, burning it, like its going to help somehow)

    Tell her to DL them and hide them in the c drive, if she can.

    If this behavior is new and she wasn't always like this, then id consider getting her some professional help, consult your doctor, he may refer you to a psychiatrist.

    If your mother has always been like this then she's fine, just superstitious.

    Tell your mom to stop taking ghost hunting reality shows seriously. They're fun if they don't bother you but it seems like she's been watching too many of them and is a little too gullible.
    Likewise your sister could choose 2 other interesting books to buy there are millions of books and subjects out there! Try the twighlight series.
    Is there a library in your town?

    It's normal, unfortunately. Thanks to religion, people these days are superstitious as hell. Tell your sister to download the pdf files from the internet. Files are easier to hide than books. Good luck.

  • Let it go - its something that upsets your Mom. You and your sister are old enough to not HAVE to be "right" about this (you are right of course, but so what, its something that upsets your Mom for whatever irrational reason).

    Just get your sister to join a gang; that should keep her entertained and your mother will be very proud.

    whatever anyone believes makes it real for them. so if your mom believes in that stuff, then she is really scared.
