Background For the last few months, we’ve been following numerous “pseudoscience expeditions” that have received…
Monsters, ghosts, and UFOS may or may not exist. But fields of study devoted to these phenomena have sprung up over the last few decades. How should we classify cryptozoology, ghost hunting, and ufology? Are they protosciences (emerging areas of study)? Or are they pseudosciences? Background For the last few months, we’ve been following numerous…
