I feel the same. I'm not a believer in ghosts, bigfoot, Gemini signs, soothsayers, fortune tellers, demons, angels, or people who talk to the dead. I look at people who believe in that as either Santa Clause believers or people who experienced something and didn't have an explanation for it, therefore convincing themselves it was something it wasn't.
I do, however, believe in aliens, UFOs. The only other paranormal things I like reading about, learning about, or listening about would be spirit guides (out of body experiences,) interdimensional beings and activated conciousness, and for kicks and giggles anything that has to do with Skinwalker Ranch. When I read about spirit guides and interdimensions, I wonder if a lot of that stuff gets interpreted as ghosts, demons, etc.
I experienced a pretty disturbing episode of sleep paralysis about a year-and-a-half ago. I have a scientific explanation for how and why it happened. As real as it was, I don't look at it as anything else but a dream. It does make the hair on my neck stand up though when I think about my experience and being attacked by a witch (lol I know it sounds stupid - there's a thread here somewhere where I share it in detail) and then later finding out that many people have the same experience and the witch is known as the hag. Lol. There's even a wiki page about her. I've heard of sleep paralysis and it feeling like a demon sitting on your chest, or someone standing over your bed before. But I like I said, I never heard of the hag. I think a lot of people who say they were abducted by aliens really just experienced sleep paralysis.

I have a close friends that says he has had out of body experiences and can almost by will. He's the type of person who's really logical about everything. He's an atheist and was raised in a really religious Christian house. Just not the person I'd ever think would say that.
I listen to music on YouTube to help me sl6 that usually has in the title out of body experience or binaural waves, etc. If you ever get bored read the comments under them. So many people think they can travel out of body. Do I believe it? No. But that's not to say they're not experiencing something.
Another thing I've been going down the rabbit hole learning about is DMT. That stuff and trips seem fascinating. I don't think I'd ever try it, but it sounds like one hell of an experience.
Thank you, Joe "DMT" Rogan.
