I would have to say a true skeptic is going to have to have a first hand experience and even then depending on the person that might not even be enough. There are thousands of pictures out there that skeptics love picking apart as much as some atheists love taking stabs at religion.

As far as a friend having an experience, the same thing would happen, they would find 100 reasons as to why it was something else going on that admit it might be real.

I have known a few people in my life that would have bet their lives it was all hokey, but then they had a personal experience that changed their minds to some degree.

I've had a few things happen that to me make it real (but I've believed in the paranormal since I was a child), but I'm sure a real skeptic would tear it apart as part as delusional.

I think it would also depend on what paranormal subject you're talking about as to a person degree of what they believe. My experiences have been strictly being visited by a lost loved one (my grandfather specifically). I've never seen a "ghost" no matter how many times I've been "ghost hunting" I've never caught photographic or voice evidence...but I have seen others that have that just go to deepen my belief.
