Zoinks, Scoob! National Paranormal Day is an unofficial holiday that takes place every year on May 3rd. It celebrates and encourages discussion of paranormal activity and investigation. Paranormal describes purported, supernatural phenomena that has no scientific explanation, such as ghosts, demons, UFOs, and ESP (also known as the Sixth Sense). While mythology has long attempted to understand paranormal experiences, the paranormal continues to fascinate us today!
