I am not opposed to healthy scientific inquiry into the supernatural as such.

However, "shooting the strange entity to see what happens" does not strike me as the best approach.

It's summertime and, as is the tradition, all my neighbours' kids are outside screaming/shrieking relentlessly in a pitch that only dogs (and, as it turns out, autistics) can hear.
'Tis the season of the almighty noise-cancelling headphone.

@Richard_Littler @actuallyautistic It's a weird thing, but noises I'm told are excruciating to hear—nails down a blackboard for instance—don't bother me… but shrieking children is absolute hell on earth.

A certain pond in the Harz mountains is said to be inhabited by the Devil himself - and he uses rather unusual methods in order to keep trespassers away.

In Japanese mythology Ukemochi is a food goddess who held a feast attended by the moon god Tsukuyomi. When she produced each of the components of the meal from all her various orifices, he was so horrified that he killed her on the spot. His furious sister Amaterasu (the sun goddess) then banished him to the night sky, where he remains alone to this day. This myth explained the division between night and day.

Many jurisdictions treated werewolves as a type of witch.

Which included subjecting suspects to the infamous "water test".
