My stance is, and always has been, that anything “paranormal” should be treated as real phenomena that has no scientific explanation – yet.
Consider sprite lightning, which got its first reporters laughed at. Now it’s a serious avenue of study.
I find often it’s the explanation that’s incorrect, not the phenomenon itself – say if someone insisted sprite lightning were UFOs.
Without compassion and an open mind, there’s a lot about the natural world we still wouldn’t understand.
