What paranormal stuff would actually convince you?

Genuine question for the forum: what would it take? Like, not trying to be a wind-up, but everyone says "I want evidence" but then dismisses videos, witnesses, equipment readings, etc.

For me personally, I reckon I'd need a full-bodied apparition in broad daylight in front of fifty people with no other explanation. Or maybe a poltergeist that moves objects on live TV with scientists present. But I know that's probably setting the bar impossibly high.

What's YOUR personal threshold? And be honest - would you actually accept it if it happened, or would you just move the goalposts?

I'd want reproducible evidence. That's it. Something that happens consistently under controlled conditions. The problem with most paranormal stuff is it's always "well, they don't perform when scientists are watching" which... come on, that's basically admitting it might not be real.

Honestly mate, I've already been convinced. I saw something in the Yorkshire moors during a walking trip in March that I still can't explain. It wasn't a ghost exactly, but it moved wrong. The thing is, I don't need the whole world convinced. I know what I saw. Bit selfish maybe?

would you just move the goalposts?

This is the thing though innit. You can't win. Show a video, people say "CGI." Show witnesses, people say "mass hysteria." Show scientific readings, people say "faulty equipment." At some point it becomes a philosophical question about what counts as evidence rather than a factual one.

A ghost that could interact with my bank account. Steal from my overdraft. Then everyone'd care immediately and scientists would be all over it 😂

I genuinely think we'll never have "proof" because proof implies objectivity, and the paranormal seems to operate on observer-dependent rules. Which sounds mad, but consider quantum mechanics - observation affects outcomes. Maybe consciousness does too. Maybe ghosts are real but exist in a way that makes them fundamentally unprovable to skeptics.
