Paranologist

Someone who studies all things paranormal, including, but not limited to, spiritual hauntings, cryptozoology, poltergeists and more. A paranologist can be anyone with a dedication to this field of study. (With more and more people entering the field of paranormal research, there is a need for a term of someone who studies or works in this field.)

There are several groups across the nation who have formed paranormal research teams. Each member of a team who studies paranormal activity can be considered a paranologist. Paranormal research has become a "hot topic" for many people.

parasocial

A buzz word being used to refer to creators and influencers forming or encouraging unhealthy relationships with their fans. Usually used in the context of young audiences feeling they have a relationship with the influencer due to the huge amount of the influencer’s content they consume. The influencer in question, however, is unaware of the fan’s existence other than the general knowledge of having fans. Common examples include Dream and his stans. These relationships are exacerbated by the influencers confirming they have more than a creator-to-viewer relationship.

The word is circulating due to various YouTube essays about the phenomenon using the word, and therefore people who enjoy complaining about influencers repeating what they heard in the video in any comments section they can find.

I can’t believe that creator encourages parasocial relationships with his fans...

Man what a parasocial relationship :/
