.@NYCMayor says his mansion is haunted. ("There are ghosts in there man!")

So we are offering our expertise to investigate Gracie Mansion.

Not by sending a TV "ghost hunter," but a real evidence-based investigator.

Sound good, your honor? Let us know! https://t.co/iCScOiqvIN

Celebrate *15 YEARS* of #NYC Skeptics this Saturday, where it all started -- the Malibu Diner at 23rd and 7th! https://t.co/8s8QksIZo8

You can be fooled! We all can. Even expert, reliable witnesses. Are Air Force pilots great #UFO witnesses? Retired pilot (and SKEPTIC!) @LarianLeQuella told us about his own sighting at our most recent SkeptiCamp. #SkepComm #ufotwitter #UAP #scicomm https://t.co/yVMGPJnWK8

[NYCSkeptics @NYCSkeptics]

You know what they say about those who don't learn from history. At our most recent SkeptiCamp, @SwordGerald explained how the #QAnonCult is really just the Satanic Panic, dressed up for the 21st century. #SkepComm #ConspiracyTheory #misinformation https://t.co/qdXK8Ozd8U

[NYCSkeptics @NYCSkeptics]

#NYC Skeptics tackles the big issues. At our most recent SkeptiCamp, Spiro Condos attempted to settle the great debate of our time -- what's better, Greek or Italian food? What does that mean? Can it be measured? #SkepComm https://t.co/D4GgUMq4h5

[NYCSkeptics @NYCSkeptics]

Starting soon! @mpigliucci takes us back to basics to talk about ASTROLOGY! #SkepComm #scicomm #astrology https://t.co/ivXXCssqkF

Urine therapy! Ridiculous on the face of it, right? Not worth debunking? At our SkeptiCamp in December, neurologist @JHowardBrainMD reminded us why basic skepticism is still so needed. #SkepComm @ScienceBasedMed #scicomm #MedTwitter #medicine https://t.co/iUj3xXsSCb

Get back to basics with Rob Palmer of @GSoW_team and "Critical Thinking 101," from our SkeptiCamp in December! #scicomm #SkepComm #psychology #memories #logic #bias https://t.co/gqPE9sj265

#Kickstarter alert: there's a new #childrensbook about critical #thinking that's inspired by CARL SAGAN! Back before April 1 to have your own child's picture IN THE BOOK! Check out this interview by @NYCSkeptics w/ the author for more. #scicomm #SkepComm https://t.co/cFQ95pmMtL

[NYCSkeptics @NYCSkeptics]

To combat something, you really have to understand it first. At our SkeptiCamp in December, Steen Svanholm and Claus Larsen warned of directly confronting a #conspiracytheory believer, and presented a new way to categorize them. #SkepComm #psychology https://t.co/epjhKWetN0

About to start! #scicomm #scied #sciart #STEAM https://t.co/zXb4Ez8Zg7

[NYCSkeptics @NYCSkeptics]

We say critical thinking should start when you're young -- here's how to make it happen! This SUNDAY we'll chat w/ children's author J.R. Becker about his new #Kickstarter book, "There's a Dragon in My Garage!" Inspired by Carl Sagan! @SkeptInquirer https://t.co/zXb4Ez8Zg7

Stay inside and get back to basics with the first in a new series: "@mpigliucci Presents." What *IS* scientific skepticism, and why did Carl Sagan say its practice carries a burden? #SkepComm #scicomm #Philosophy #science @SkeptInquirer https://t.co/qAO9eI7CUB
