Skeptics might be jumping to conclusions

[Succubus]

Nope, all this paranormal belief crap tracks back to religion, afterlife stuff. I'm just guessing, but if you believe in paranormal stuff, you are likely to belief in religion.

A good guess but it doesn't necessarily follow. It's possible to be an atheist and still have a head full of mad dogs shite. David Icke?

Like religion, the paranormal is a figment of our imagination.

Or the result of faulty reasoning?

A true skeptic would never give any credibility to the belief in the paranormal.

Absolutely and unequivocally no!
This is exactly what the detractors latch on to, as evidenced in the OP. The motto of the Royal Society is: Nullius in verba. "Take nobody's word for it!"
It's a one size fit's all statement but it just works bitches.

Wouldn't evidence alone be sufficient ?

But how would you know if there is evidence for sure or not unless you fully research into these things and arrive at the final conclusion?

And yet your own group
The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) group is shutting down after some twenty-eight years of searching for proof of the paranormal

Found nothing.
