Why Don't Most Scientists Show Interest In Researching Paranormal Activities?

 We all enjoyed hearing creepy and disturbing stories from our grandparents, relatives and friends. Even though it was scary, it was fun and thrilling. And the most scary part of the story was the ending.....and no I'm not talking about the part where they jump-scare you, but the part where they say "Based on a true story."

Ever wondered whether the story was really true or just a made up lie by them to have a long lasting impact of the story? I'm sure most of you did. And you might have even searched on the internet for proofs, but didn't find much help, as the internet is also filled with scammers who want you to believe their explanations regarding paranormal encounters. This lack of trustable information creates a huge dilemma among people, leading to superstitious beliefs and fear of the unknown.

Now the most reasonable step to take would be reading scientific papers about abnormal events, written by a trustable author who has been researching in this field for a long time. And guess what? You'll barely find any trustable source as the authors themselves have no clue what they are talking about. So coming back to the main question, why aren't scientists interested to research paranormal activities? Let's find out.

Whenever scientists work/research on a specific concept, they ensure that there is already some established base/facts through which they can research their way further. The problem with Haunted experiences is that they are usually experienced by people who already believe in such things, and they end up overexaggerating it. 

Yes that's right, most of the horror stories were formed just because 'PEOPLE ARE TOO LAZY TO LOGICALLY EXPLAIN IT', as telling "I saw a ghost" is easier than telling "I saw my bedroom curtains which resembled a  ghost." This is another reason why scientists barely meet such incidents, because of their logical thinking they understand what exactly is going on instead of getting scared away (Being a scientist has its own benefits!)

What makes researching haunted places even more difficult and dangerous are thieves and murderers who lurk in the shadows. Whenever someone says that there have been countless deaths at a place as it is haunted, they aren't completely wrong. Its the hooligans who make the place haunted and not the ghosts themselves.

"TIP : When visiting creepy places, beware of local people, as humans are more scary than ghosts!"

Moreover most people themselves believe that Evil Spirits do not have a shape, size or form. and are 'massless'. As soon as they accept this the discussion is ended. As science does not believe in researching about things that are massless and illogical. This is exactly why most scientists turn their back towards paranormal activities and regard it as 'Pseudoscience' which means false/fraudulent topic.

So let's ask ourselves "Is it we who are afraid of spooky stuff, or are the ghosts afraid of proving their existence to humans?"

P.S. - If you are a ghost please do not get offended, let's be friends instead.
