Investigating extraordinary claims with evidence, science and healthy scepticism.
Paranormal Debunked is a dedicated place to learn, examine and question paranormal claims in a professional and respectful way.
This section brings together our debunking articles, evidence reviews and investigations in one place. It will also follow the wider debunking community, report on relevant news and provide clear analysis of what has been proven, what has only been suggested and what still remains unexplained.
The aim is not to mock belief or dismiss personal experiences. It is to make the evidence easier to understand, separate confirmed facts from possible explanations and encourage a more balanced discussion of the paranormal.

The online arguments have happened. The evidence has been questioned. Now Beardo Gets Scared has accepted Ghost Trip Investigation’s invitation to investigate alongside them. If handled properly, what happens next could be far more important than another YouTube disagreement. There are plenty of arguments in the paranormal world. One investigator captures something they cannot explain.…
In YouTube’s earliest years, paranormal videos were brief, blurry and supposedly accidental. Two decades later, ghost hunting has become a sophisticated entertainment industry built around feature-length investigations, specialist equipment, global fandoms and million-pound creator businesses. But has the evidence improved along with the production values? When YouTube’s first 19-second video, Me at the Zoo, appeared…
Every generation seems convinced that it lives in an age of unprecedented deception. Today we have artificial intelligence, deepfake videos, edited ghost-hunting clips on social media, and viral paranormal stories that can reach millions of people within hours.
