    Maybe paranormal enthusiasts should start forming theories and making testable predictions instead of anomaly hunting?

    Many do. Its a pity the more cynical dont do the same, considering they are so convinced the paranormal is rubbish, but yet havent done a tap of research to back that up.

    If people fancied it, they could link to experiments/studies that address paranormal phenomena.

    If ye are content to just repeat "stories and experiences" (aka anecdotes, aka worthless evidence), then ye might as well just buy this:

    Stories don't get us any closer to the truth tbh

    maccored, there's been plenty of research done to explain paranormal phenonema. Google: hallucination, misperception, pareidolia/pattern-seeking, false/unreliable memory, confirmation bias, sleep paralysis/vivid dreaming, etc.

    Dave, go back to the charter and see why this forum was set up. It was for discussion, not proof of anything.
