A pretty bold statement. How do you happen to know that? Proof please; You have just made a positive claim. That attracts the burden of proof.
My position; I don't believe in the paranormal either, due to the lack of credible evidence. I don't claim to know, because I can't prove a negative proposition. By all means try, you'll be really famous.
Dogmatic beliefs make easy targets. You may have noticed how Christian apologist here are so thoroughly and so consistently demolished. The only thing spoiling the fun is that tend to be too dogmatic, too ignorant or too stupid to understand when they've been trounced.
Even if I can't prove paranormal doesn't exist I'm sure paranormal isn't real.
This is only my opinion and a opinion is only an opinion until proven true or false.
Even though I'd consider myself to be leaning very hard towards your position, I still think plenty of people, sometimes very rational, skeptical people, really do experience things that are strange and seemingly unexplained. I DO think these things MUST have a natural, rational explanation, but nonetheless, plenty of people still experience them and seem to have no immediate, rational explanation.
That's mainly why I made this thread. Even though I don't really believe in the paranormal or supernatural, I love hearing about supposed "paranormal experiences," because it's pretty cool and kind of spooks me out.
I like being spooked

If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
