Starting small, here's three. And, yes, I'm starting
with Cryptids and aliens, both of whom I frequently
see grouped under "Paranormal."

Feel free to add to or dispute my ever so humble
offerings below.

Okay, that was the "False," the phenomena that is fake,
so here's a few that are real...

REMEMBER: I am *Not* defining "Paranormal" here. Everything
I talk about below was identified/defined as "Paranormal"
by the people who argue in favor of the paranormal. It is,
quite literally, what THEY MEAN!


#1.

The 2-fingered levitation trick.

If you haven't actually done this yourself, and many have,
there's a video so you can at least witness it with your
own eyes:

Deja Vu

It's real. You almost certainly experienced it yourself.
And if you're the typical usenet sick troll the closest
thing to an "Argument" you could ever come up with is
"It's not paranormal," as if you get to dictate these
things.

I stated it once, I was wasting my time, and I'll spell
it out again without it clicking for anyone but:

I am debating the existing of paranormal phenomena with
the people who say it exists, it is real. I am responding
that to THEY ARE CLAIMING while you, as a narcissist (or
worse) are obsessed with controlling everything...

And there is no explanation for Deja Vu in the sense that
a murder with many suspects is unsolved.

Pretend you get it: If you have a murder with a long list
of suspects, it's unsolved. You do not know what the
answer is. And there are many "Explanations" for Deja Vu,
which means none of us know what the answer is.

Wow. That's TWO concepts you can't accept!


#3.

Stigmata

This is described as the spontaneous appearance of the
wounds suffered by Christ. And it's real. It's well
documented. You can do the Google, find images if you
want.


#4.

Miracles, and medical miracles especially

Miracles do happen but medical miracles are the focus here
because not only is it medical science identifying them
but, usually their documentation starts even before anyone
sees anything miraculous.

Now if you're mentally weak you can just make up any
answer you want. But the fact remains that we have
science -- medical science -- declaring something impossible.



That's a start, more than anyone can handle.
