Charging Ions is how a Mage opens a sacred circle to begin his craft. Staticly charging the ions can cause a balloon to stick to a wall or similar surface. Ions hold the Earth and Moon on it's ever so constant course and revolution. I think that the main reason for the seeming increase in paranormal activity has more to do with our brain's reaction to the electrical nature of the storm. The Ions of the storm are all going to be charged in particular ways and whether or not one is aware, your mind and body are affected by the presence of a magnetic force. So the frequency of the brain waves are almost always what determines our ability to see, visually, an entity of a nonphysical nature. Ethereal beings are not limited to sprites and the eternaly dead either. Concievably, there could be one or more beings without physical form that have Will and Intent equal to our own, or even the ability to reason and assimilate the nature of your course.
Oh yeah. a storm of any significance naturally puts one at attention. Usually trying to observe the direction and severity of the storm, putting their mind in just the right spot to be able to realize your many senses.

Oh yeah again. Any being not of material will need an empty material space to reside and if you were trying to manifest physical beings by "catching elementals" you could direct the manifesto appropriately with intent as well as using the natural elemental properties of the "body" and the "soul"
