mdehnersEverything I Needed to Know About Skepticism I Learned from Scooby-Doo
A paranormal claim is just another mystery to be solved;
No matter how crazy the claim, someone will always believe it;
Seeing does not mean believing;
Skepticism can be fun;
People hoax for all kinds of reasons;
Witnesses and researchers can be in on the hoax;
Hoaxers are often motivated by money;
Even hundreds of the same kind of mystery can all turn out to be false;
Even a preposterous real-world explanation is more likely than a supernatural guess.
