Actual as in the person isn't afraid to go in and check, and there's no editing or tricks. Those people outside camping hoping to have an encounter and then hear a twig snap and leave before even showing what's out there.
I guess i really am stuck with nonsense on YouTube. I can watch a guy drown in scuba gear, but gotta see shorts showing a chair rocking with part of it hidden behind a doorway and bad "OMG" actors.
Paranormal videos are all editing and tricks, my man
😭
I really think you should reflect on the reason why there is absolutely zero evidence of paranormal phenomenon.

I dont know if your into the mystery more than the actual supernatural, but there is a fantastic 3 part documentary called "sasquatch" (released via other platforms but also found on youtube).
Its a twist & turn investigation about some deaths/murders attributed by locals to bigfoot which i think has a satisfying conclusion.

if it were (verifiably) on video, it wouldn't be paranormal, it would be science.
if you want paranormal content that may not be genuine i can recommend the horror section on netflix?
Schrödinger mocked quantum theory, we got the slit experiment, no one thought Tesla's ideas were good, until suddenly they did and then there was God not playing dice and spooky stuff, the Drake equation and SETI. It's a great idea that may lead to investigation of things we don't understand.
Schrödinger was criticizing the interpretation of quantum mechanics, Tesla generated way more garbage than he did innovations, the Drake equation is a novelty (and Drake repeatedly clarified that it was conjecture until we find any evidence of ETI), SETI is awesome.
Everything you just listed is an example of science investigating the tangible aspects of observed phenomenon.
The point is, people have been discouraging use of wild and vivid imagination, so we get the same old same old until someone has courage to daydream, thought experiment, etc
Science works best when people are:
- Creatively thinking
- Use ideas from other scientific areas for their scientific area
The book "How We Got To Now" does a fabulous job of showing that science is not a uniform step by step process instead is a tree with different branches.
AC and refrigerators all started because someone wanted to ship ice to tropical locations for money.
SETI is another prefect example. A bunch of scientists sat around and said to themselves "We have all these new instruments for space. What if we tried to find alien life with it?"
You should decide whether you are looking for science or religion.
But better not both, because both at the same time can make you thoroughly confused.

Ehh. I was just interested in seeing if there are sites dedicated to paranormal stuff. Whether or not it being science I'd rather see SOMETHING that seems legit instead of sifting the same old tales. I can read all day about encounters, but no one ever shows proof of anything they claim to be real.
Edit: oh no.... My... Interweb points 🙄 staahp
but no one ever shows proof of anything they claim to be real.
Hmmmmm.
Yes, yes i see what's happening, but i am standing my ground. I guess I'm stuck with YouTube pranks, edited garbage, and an endless amount of inhumane content.
Thanks.
In this thread you've implied repeatedly that you're aware of the implausibility of paranormal phenomenon but you're still going to watch:
"YouTube pranks, edited garbage, and an endless amount of inhumane content"
And if you're just doing this for amusement, the Why Files does some pretty entertaining stuff reporting on 'real' (clarification: these are actual things people believe not just made up for their episode) conspiracies and paranormal events, I can enjoy them even as a skeptic. But if you're doing this out of actual interest, belief or just to give both sides of the argument a fair shake, I really really really hope that you will take my advice and figure out if this is truly important, or if this is you self-harming out of stubbornness. Because I have been there and it's really bad for you.

Sounds like you should go and join a religious cult. They'll probably have lots of fake shit for you to listen and see.

The only ones that host authentic paranormal footage are kind of ghost towns.

I'm pretty sure that's just a genre of video you can find on any video site.
🤔 yes but that's not the same.
That's like me asking for beheading videos and then saying "go look up Saw movies". It's not the same.
do you want to post stuff? lots of people use YouTube.
do you want to browse through videos?
how are you defining "good"?

Yeah they don't have sites for actual Santa Clause, actual Easter bunny, actual space magic either man, I’ve been really suffering over it.
I didn't know of any, I believe there are some people interested in hiding these kind of videos.
