Literally it does not mean anything sensible. Figuratively however, it means that you state something with certainty based on evidence that also allows other plausible solutions. For example:

"While I was home alone last night, I heard noices, so there are ghosts in my house" is jumping to conclusions. There might be other explanations such as: there are rats living in my house.
