Fact vs. Theory

I recently heard a quote from a poet, Maya Angelou- "There's a world of difference between facts and truth. Facts can obscure the truth."

The person who posted this quote infered this from the quote:

As this applies to the study of the paranormal, what is fact to one is not
fact to another. Imagine what wonderous truths are hidden behind the facts of
non-believers....
Just a thought...

Now I do believe this is a good quote, but the quote relating to the paranormal... I tend to disagree. Simply because of the word 'fact'. In the paranormal field as of now there are no facts, only theories. My theories may not match yours or anyone else's. Through science and scientific equipment we are trying to prove are theories as fact.

The definition of paranormal is:

par·a·nor·mal (pr-nôrml) adj.
Beyond the range of normal experience or scientific explanation: such paranormal phenomena as telepathy; a medium's paranormal powers.

If something is beyond scientific explanation then it would not be fact, merely a hypothesis awaiting to be proven. Hence those theories would have
no truth... yet.

So I find it humorous when people attempt to prove the paranormal does not exist or they attempt to disprove people's paranormal theories (this doesn't include the original poster of the quote above). How can you prove something doesn't exist when the paranormal is essentially what exists outside of our experiences and scientific explanation? Again it only leaves you with theories.

Which leads to the next point: If you were to prove any type of paranormal theory existed then essentially it would not be paranormal anymore as it would now fall within a scientific explanation.

What do you think?

UPI

By: Destin Day



This post is for paranormal researchers, societies, investigators, and enthusiasts to help build awareness for a Paranormal site that I am a part of.

I am the Director of Arkansas at UPI (United Paranormal International). My goal and my team's is to help others, with our knowledge and investigation abilities, by providing an unbiased and detailed approach to paranormal research and investigation. I, myself, am not quick to judge on paranormal claims, evidence, or experiences and take things with an open ear and mind.

I have found a place where paranormal aware people gather to help others in this field. I would like to open the door to others to come and take a look. I feel that if we all band together we can learn more and advance in all areas of the paranormal. UPI is not a team, society, or competitor. It is simply a community, a place for us to meet, talk, and gain information.

Last week I had a case that stumped me and I got help from a very knowledgeable member in Africa so UPI is also great source of information and a good resource for your team or society.

I look forward to getting to know everyone at UPI as well as sharing and learning from others experiences. I hope to see some of you there. *Click the banner below to visit UPI.

ODP (Overly Debunking Paranormal)?

ODP

Is there a such thing as ODP(Overly Debunking Paranormal)? I happen to think so if you do tell me what you think.

I think there is a point you don't go beyond. I mean don't explain it away unless you physically went out and conducted your own tests on the exact footage you are trying to debunk. We have all seen dust, water, bug orb's or even emf orb's light flair and even double exposure. So that is not hard to recognize, but when I see one of the above I still look hard. Because let's face it, it only takes once to mess up lol. But when you get something that looks out of the ordinary it probably is. I have had the best ODP's out there look at my evidence and call it a bug, dust, lint, etc. Even though I have ran every test that I and my tech manager (Mike), who is an ODP himself by the way, can think of. They chuckle when I tell them "I have tested there claim's" and they go on believing their claims lol. All I can say is when your debunking your evidence if you can't recreate it call it what it is.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Greetings Enthusiasts:

Supernatural Truth Paranormal Investigations wishes you all a Happy Thanksgiving and Holiday Season.

We are currently finishing evidence reviews on cases #6-8.

Additional video footage should be up soon, but definitely stop by the website www.2stpi.com and our YouTube Channel to watch highlights from case #6.

Also, check out the evidence from Case #5: Pay close attention to the stick figure on the ceiling.

Happy Halloween-New videos on the website

Claudia here!

With the investigations videos from the last investigations posted on the site, there is some great footage, including Destin being touched on the back of his neck three times. When Mike checked it out, they found a much colder spot on Destin's neck that lasted for several minutes. The interesting thing is that Destin said it felt like someone pushed up his hair, placing a hand across his neck. This was the main reason the owners of the house left, leaving the house vacant, as there were unexplainable events taking place, including the residents being touched. Some of the evidence takes time to check out, and more evidence is still being reviewed.

Our evidence footage from this investigation is also up. So take a view minutes and visit the site. www.2stpi.com . We will have additional evidence on Youtube soon.

Keep checking out the site, as there are more investigations coming up, including our Halloween weekend investigation.
