Some psychics seem very convincing, but I am not educated enough on the subject to offer commentary on it.
I have a hopeful belief in reincarnation, but I know logically it doesn’t happen.

I do not believe in the paranormal. I don’t believe in anything supernatural. “Things that go bump in the night” are fine for campfire stories. The real world has enough mysteries and challenges in it. Why do you need ghosts?

Even the best pieces of evidence of the paranormal are easily debunked.
But I still loved the X-Files.

Only paranormal stuff I believe in is called “residual” hauntings. As in emotions stored in a certain place/object…you know, that kind of stuff.

I’m not exactly an atheist but you just try and stop me from answering!
Real GhostsI do believe in “paranormal” phenomena. I have witnessed some things myself and I have also studied the subject in great depth. I find it fascinating. I always used to assume that science could explain just about everything. It turns out it can’t. There is a lot of phenomena that leaves scientists scratching their heads. Things happen that no one can explain. One example is ’spontaneous human combustion’. Something that scientists have been trying to explain for decades. They have had some good theories, but none of their theories have stood up to any sort of testing. Even now there is no adequate explanation for this phenomena.
In my humble opinion, it’s wisest not to rule anything out. Science is not infallible and this universe is far too mysterious for any mere human to ever understand. There are some things we will just never know.

I would like to compell “Jesse =D” to share her reasoning.
As already said, it is highly unlikely for a non-religious person to believe in metaphysical happenings. The ones who do could probably not even define atheist or agnosticism.

The paranormal is part of the realm of the supernatural; so no, I do not believe in the paranormal.
