Are there ANY sites for Paranormal videos? (lemmy.world)

There have been plenty of sites hosting horrible, and graphic content like the late LiveLeak site. But I've never heard of a good site for posting actual paranormal stuff.

Unless i am wrong.

Edit: I get it Lemmy, i might be asking for too much, but it doesn't seem too farfetched to have a dedicated site of actual video camera posts not edited tiktok or hollywood crap. I'm not looking for a movie, tv show, or a Halloween prank. I guess it does not exist because paranormal activity has been and always will be fake stunts.

Edit 2: dog sees something but they never show the floor. Could have been a spider.

Ghost car cop chase car "goes through fence" but it went out of frame before it went through. Either editing, or like the comments says, the fenced went over/under the car and this cop is just a pansy.

Edit 3: Skinwalker Ranch this was cool to start with, buuuuut again they talk of something blocking the airspace above but what they show doesn't match with their claims. The 3D animations explain what they see, but the actual footage has so many cuts it's obviously fake.

Schrödinger was criticizing the interpretation of quantum mechanics, Tesla generated way more garbage than he did innovations, the Drake equation is a novelty (and Drake repeatedly clarified that it was conjecture until we find any evidence of ETI), SETI is awesome.

Everything you just listed is an example of science investigating the tangible aspects of observed phenomenon.

The point is, people have been discouraging use of wild and vivid imagination, so we get the same old same old until someone has courage to daydream, thought experiment, etc

Science works best when people are:

Creatively thinking
Use ideas from other scientific areas for their scientific area

The book "How We Got To Now" does a fabulous job of showing that science is not a uniform step by step process instead is a tree with different branches.

AC and refrigerators all started because someone wanted to ship ice to tropical locations for money.

SETI is another prefect example. A bunch of scientists sat around and said to themselves "We have all these new instruments for space. What if we tried to find alien life with it?"
