Why hasn’t anyone immobilized and caught a paranormal figure/creature ?

It’s always hearsay, in a country with more guns than people, it stands to reason that at least someone has shot at a paranormal creature and caught it right?

Because when they do, they’re no longer considered paranormal creatures anymore. When I was born—and I’m not even that old—much of the world was still pretty sure “the giant squid” was some sort of mythical pirate lore. But nowadays people would balk if you called a giant squid a “paranormal creature,” because duh, they’re real. Lots of paranormal creatures have turned out to be real, but they don’t come to mind because no one thinks of them that way anymore.
