Like you, everyone is already pursuing what they are interested in. No one is compelled to look into every crazy idea someone else comes up with. And what you call "paranormal" and what the religious call "supernatural" are bereft of even one non-controversial exemplar to justify those categories. Until that changes I am content to assume they are empty sets and to say so when it comes up in conversation. The subject holds no inherent interest to me. If it does for you, you take it on.
I think I have already given many explanations as to made numerous unsupported claims regarding why such claims deserve full research. Especially since these are claims being made by researchers who have had a lot of training, education, and have done experiments where they conclude that there is real evidence for these sorts of things.

Fixed that for you.
