{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Paranormal/navigation}}
Welcome to WikiProject Paranormal, a WikiProject that aims to provide a framework for the improvement and organization of articles related to the paranormal, anomalous phenomena and other similar areas. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us on our discussion page.
Anyone is welcome to join by listing their username on the /Participants page and contributing to the project.

Goals
- To provide a concise and accurate record of notable beliefs, organizations, experiments, individuals and events which are associated with the paranormal, including their history, background and their current status.
- To provide a framework (including infoboxes, categories, and examples of Best Practice) from within which scholarly entries about the paranormal, and related topics, may be produced.
- To provide a scholarly set of terminology to describe the paranormal which is technically, culturally, and contextually accurate.
- To seek out and apply verifiable mainstream sources to pages within the projects scope with the aim of A) addressing any issues of verifiability and reliability that have been highlighted in existing entries, and B) ensuring that new entries are of sufficient quality that their verifiability and reliability do not become an issue.
- To ensure that each entry approaches its topic from a balanced and neutral perspective.
- To ensure that the notability of each topic can be gleaned from its entry, without the need for additional explanation.
- To ensure that a clear dividing line is established between reporting the belief in/background of the topic in a scholarly manner, and advocating/denouncing the topic itself.
- To expand project stubs to full entries and to progress full entries to the next level.
- Patrol frequently vandalized pages within the project's scope.
