They are meaningless without credible evidence.
But how you determine whether there really is evidence or not for the paranormal is through taking this long journey. You need to fully research into everything including the objections that the paranormal researchers address. Once you've researched into everything, then you can finally determine for sure whether there really is evidence or not. But, in the meantime, we don't know for sure and there are no shortcuts to determine whether there really is evidence for these things or not. Skeptics say there is no evidence for the paranormal while the researchers say there is. This disagreement is only merely the very beginning of the journey. It is the opening of the door of your own home and going outside, if you will. From there, you must embark on the full journey to arrive at the final destination.
You look at it and decide it's creditability, if it's not credible or testable it's rejected.. simple. Otherwise why not accept any crackpot idea?
No long journey or path needed.
