 Although José Luis Jordán was vice-president of the Spanish Society of Parapsychology, he was rather skeptical.In Jordán's "Casas Encantadas, Poltergeist" he analyzes cases of supposed haunted houses in Spain, including the Bélmez case.In 1971, a department of the Spanish Ministry of the Interior asked Jordán to head a commission that appointed diverse technicians specializing in concrete chemistry to carry out an exhaustive study of the strange occurrences in Bélmez and present a report on such to the authorities.
