I think the poster's right that there's an asymmetry, but not the way they frame it. It's not that sceptics demand more evidence - it's that they demand evidence that *falsifies* alternative...

Actually, there's been a surprising number of reports of unusual figures with unnatural movement patterns across London in the past few years. Not necessarily Spring-heeled Jack, but something.

The financial barrier is real and it does keep out a lot of genuinely curious people. But honestly, if you're in it for the evidence rather than the experience, you might be approaching it wrong.

Did you ever think to go outside with a torch and actually investigate? I know that sounds terrifying, but whatever was there apparently left when the police showed up.

I've visited Borley multiple times (there's not much left but the land is definitely eerie) and I felt something.

Rendlesham is unusually well-documented but even that documentation has problems under scrutiny. The witness statements were collected years after the incident, so memory degradation is...

The Trifield is absolutely solid mate. Used one for fifteen years. The reason the new stuff costs more is marketing bollocks, plain and simple.
Right, I've been collecting vintage paranormal equipment for years now, and I recently got my hands on an original Trifield Meter 100XE from the early 1990s - you know, the one that actually...

Spring-heeled Jack was debunked about 150 years ago. It was mass hysteria coupled with real criminals taking advantage of the legend.

Alright, I'm fed up with the Netflix rubbish - all jump scares and manufactured drama. I want to watch something that actually treats the subject matter seriously, preferably with a British...

Fair points all around. I think the honest answer is: Patterson-Gimlin footage is ambiguous and can be interpreted either way depending on your starting assumptions.

Peckham resident here too. I've heard the stories from older folks in the community - there's definitely a local legend about something like this doing the rounds.

this wasn't an animal acting on instinct, it was systematically checking entry points I'm not trying to dismiss your experience, but a hungry predator would absolutely systematically check entry...

The Cairngorms have an interesting history of cryptid reports - the Scottish wildcat population, but also some reports of larger unidentified animals.

Welcome to the reality of amateur paranormal research. Most of us can't afford to do this properly so we do it cheaply and accept the limitations.

The real issue is we live in a world where almost nothing can be proven absolutely. We work with probabilities and explanatory power.
Genuinely asking. I've spent the last two years building a semi-serious paranormal investigation team in Yorkshire and I'm absolutely skint.

I've been reading Sky Crash by Bruni and the original incident reports again, and I'm struck by how much better documented Rendlesham is compared to basically every other UFO case.

Proper discussion welcome. No "it's all made up" dismissals without evidence Right, but the burden of proof is on the people claiming paranormal activity, not on sceptics.
Thanks for sharing this seriously. The deliberate nature of what you describe - systematic checking of entry points - is actually what distinguishes it from animal behavior.
