How To deal with paranormal stuff

We’ve all heard about “the paranormal”. Do ghosts exist? Is bigfoot real? Are there space aliens? Is there a Loch Ness monster? Is the Bermuda Triangle real? Did ancient aliens visit our planet? Is the world ruled by reptilians? Did Joe Biden really win?

I have been interested in the paranormal since I was a child. I have studied, believed, and disbelieved all the major fields of paranormal stuff at one time or another.

Now as a mature and well-read adult, I deal with paranormal matters like this... 

...until you can PROVE (beyond any doubt) that the mundane (normal) explanation is NOT the answer, you must accept it as the explanation. In other words, you don’t automatically assume the fantastic (paranormal) explanation is true. Instead, you must automatically assume that the humdrum (normal) explanation is true FIRST.

(This seems perfectly reasonable until you're in a tent 134 miles from civilization, and you hear a loud snort outside your tent at night.)

When the above method is applied to all situations, fakery is exposed, and what you’re left with are true paranormal events, and occurrences. 

Noted evolutionary hatchet-man Carl Sagan once said: “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” Yeah, tell that to my bladder when I hear something grunt in the woods at twilight.
