(However, confirmation would result in the phenomenon being reclassified as part of science.) Despite this problem, studies on the paranormal are periodically conducted by researchers from various disciplines. Some researchers simply study the beliefs in the paranormal regardless of whether the phenomena are considered to objectively exist. This section deals with various approaches to the paranormal: anecdotal, experimental, and participant-observer approaches and the skeptical investigation approach".

It all amounts to very little I am afraid. I think of it like ghost sitings. They always seem to be of medieval people and the images are grainy and unclear.

Why because that is what people thunk "ghosts" look like so they do what humans are good at and that is spotting human shapes in things. Why is it grainy because if it were sharp you could see what it really was and there is no mystery and no cache for the person claiming to have spotted it.
