But I would say that 'paranormal' is a nonsense word. What does it mean? It usually means 'something that can't be explained by conventional scientific thought', but 'conventional scientific thought' in turn cannot be 'proven', it's results can only be measured by it's own methods. How can one 'prove' that the human and animal 'spirits' exist for example if the measuring device is limited to non-spiritual methods? Shamanism for example?

Worms, can, shut it Morfe!

Good worms. Nothing is provable, all may be illusion. So, for working purposes only, let’s say we exist and at least some of science is truth. On that basis, neither the rest of science nor the paranormal are provable by the bit of science we’re arbitrarily choosing to rely upon, and are thus of equal status, unprovable.
So a scientist has no right to say the whole universe is governed by the laws of physics. Much of it may be held together by mystical ley lines, how would he know?
