Without skeptics, some of us out there would chalk up every phantom bump, mysterious smell, and lens dust as poltergeist, demons, and ghost orbs. Skeptics are there to tell us that pipes are loose, there is a dead rat under the floorboards, and to clean the dust from our lenses. In short, without a skeptic's perspective, some of us would look really stupid, and thus remove any credence from the paranormal field.

That being said, another reason we need skeptics, and to be skeptical ourselves, is that when we finally come across some paranormal activity that cannot be debunked, it brings us that much closer to truly touching the unknown. In this section, you'll familiarize yourself with the way that a skeptic thinks, and how they look at potential evidence. Essentially, you'll find tools to help you be a better skeptic.
