When it comes to paranormal evidence, the first question here is never “Is this paranormal?”
The first question is “What else could this be?”
That doesn’t mean dismissing experiences or footage. It means slowing things down and looking at context — environment, equipment, timing, and human factors.
Good evidence review asks things like:
What was happening in the space at the time?
What equipment was used, and what are its limitations?
Could light, sound, movement, or expectation play a role?
What information do we not have?
Sometimes the honest answer is “we don’t know yet.”
That’s not failure — that’s responsible thinking.
In this community, evidence isn’t about proving anything. It’s about understanding what we’re actually looking at, and being comfortable with uncertainty when certainty isn’t earned.
