Mulder and Scully

Paranormal investigation duo

Mulder and Scully are the two FBI agents at the center of *The X-Files*, the television series about paranormal investigations.

Fox Mulder is the believer, Dana Scully the skeptic.

The pairing has become shorthand for any duo where one person embraces unlikely explanations while the other demands evidence: Every conspiracy theory needs its Mulder and Scully.
