I grew up listening to Art Bell and still have my tinfoil hat. I believe that there are things in this universe that we don’t remotely even begin to understand. All manner of things and legends could be true at least in part.

But I’ve also grown up enough and seen enough to realize that 99% of so called supernatural or otherworldly things are either jokes, pranks, or misunderstandings of known natural phenomena. I’d hazard a guess that at least 2/3rds of the rest also have quite mundane explanations.

As for the rest, I am grateful that there are still things in this world that we still don’t understand. It makes things interesting.
