Answer 3

I do. well i have had several experiences that have helped me change my mind about it. not only that but I'm also psychic. my first experience was when i was 8. with that one i don't have any proof. i have had these experiences ever since then. I used to live in a haunted house.

Answer 4

Yes, many people, especially those who have an innate need to feel that the world is more interesting than it seems to be at first glance.  My religious sister-in-law claimed to witness a UFO from another world, but on being questioned, she admitted she could not identify or distinguish between a comet, shooting star, man-made satellite, the planets Mars or Venus or other perfectly identifiable objects in the night sky. Luckily, she did say she had seen the moon!

The real world is boring to some people.  They need more possibility for wildness and weirdness, and they want it the easy way:  By imagining it, rather than looking for it.  In order to find real wonder anymore, you have to look for it: get back to nature to some degree, really look at a flower, or listen to a bird, rather than peruse whether angels are living in your fridge.  

Others of us, those who don't "experience" the paranormal are happy that we are in control of our lives, and wouldn't give it up to be returned to the wild.  We either don't need wonder, or find it by looking harder, not by making it up.

Some people are also more susceptible to hallucinations, mass hysteria and other kinds of suggestibility, where people can be made to believe something that they think they have experienced, without being skeptical.  Our sensory system is frighteningly good, but it is not perfect.

This has some relation to the willingness to believe in religion vs. science.  But in that regard, the religious people actually need more closure, absolutely resolved answers, rather than science's open-ended questions and insecurity. Also, science has robbed us of the guilty pleasures of faith and fantasy to some degree.

Answer 5

I believe!  I've seen a ghost.

Answer 6

All people who believe in religion does so we're talking about billions of believes.

Answer 7

No wai

Answer 8

I don't know why some people continue to insists they know everything there is to know about the universe. At best, science can only explain 1% of all there is to know about nature and the forces that govern it!

Answer 10

No its a scam. A show got these kids to make ufos out of household items, they took a picture of it in the sky (threw it into the air) and showed it to a professional guy and he was like, very sincerely "Oh yeah this is definately a UFO".

Answer 11

I think it is all a scam. Life in Glasgow for me has made me sceptical about all that stuff.

Answer 12

i think there is a spirit world that we go to when we die ( aka heaven) there's more to it but its my religion also so. but yeah i believe there is.

Answer 13

Yes, far too many people do. A bit sad in the 21st Century!

Answer 14

yes, my grandfather, best friend, and grandmother have passed to the other side. I am able to talk to them and they give me guidence still. I could feel a presence sometimes, and some songs come on the radio at unique times, to often to be just coincidence. i have seen rainbows at unique times when there was no evidence of rain, just too often. one time a bird flew into the car, perched on the steering column next to me chirped and flew away, there has been to much stuff that hAPpend for it to be just coincidences. i dont know, i just believe.  

Answer 15

Theism falls under the category of supernatural. So if you believe in a personal god who can intervene on your behalf you believe in the supernatural. At least in the US this would be most people.

So after 4,000 years of trying if theism is the best anyone can come up with, then there really isn't much proof.

Answer 16

of course.  

religion hints at it, space makes it possible, and science can explain it.

Answer 17

there is only the life we live no supernatural or secrete world out there make it happy or sad that's up to you i have always found if you are kind to other people it comes back to you so as they say pass it on

Answer 18

Yes. I was a total non-believer in anything 'spiritual' until my folks passed away. Within weeks spooky things happened that defy science, and ever since I seem to be attuned to the so-called paranormal. My pastor says there is more spirit in nature than physical reality, and I'm certainly inclined to agree. Although maddeningly difficult to prove, a true scientist allows for the spiritual aspect of nature--the Twilight Zone. Good hunting!

Answer 19

yes i believe, because sooooooo... many paranormal things  has happened to me....seen spirits , heard spirits, talk to spirits, i'v also been attacked many times by spirits....yea alot of weird things always happen to me...and to people i know.

Answer 20

I'm open to believe it. I highly doubt that the thousands of reports of paranormal activity is all nothing but people lying.
