Hey Pandas, Do You Believe In The Supernatural?

not me, but my little cousin is 100% POSITIVE she's seen a unicorn, and you can't really argue with solid logic like that

Aliens yes ghosts, mermaids, vampires no. I believe in aliens because in an observable universe that is 93 billion light years across there has to be some intelligent life besides us.

Yes!! I've had a few personal supernatural experiences that have happened to me. Plus, now with so many cameras all over the place, occurrences are vastly being caught on camera.

I believe people have had experiences and/or illnesses that have led them to be labeled as many things, or to believe certain entities are real. I leave room for strange, but not fanged. I'm in medicine. We see strange. Not vampiric, werewolfy, etc.

Most of the voices in my head agree that there is some unexplainable stuff going on pretty much all of the time.

No. Supernatural means above nature, or not part of nature. Nature includes all of spacetime. Anything IN spacetime that can interact with nature is part of nature and uses the laws of physics. Therefore, anything that has an effect, is visible, etc., is part of nature and can be studied scientifically and shown to probably exist. Furthermore, you need replicability. It's no good saying you saw a ghost. I simply think you hallucinated. Unless you can take me to the same location and I see the same thing AND more importantly we can measure it, it does not exist except in your imagination. However if I can see it, photograph it, etc., then it has a natural scientific explanation because it is part of this world/universe. Aliens aren't supernatural, they are natural. They do not defy laws of physics. We understand the supernatural to be that which defies the laws of physics. Thus far, there is no documented replicable experimental proof of any such. The James Randi prize remains unclaimed.

Mermaids vampires werewolves not so much. Ghosts yes. Years ago when my son was a baby we moved into an apartment that the former tenant told us was haunted. Really thought they were a bit off. There were little things at first. Odd noises things that weren't quite where they were supposed to be. Sometimes I would hear my son babbling away and often he would look past me and laugh. Then it started in ernest with him. His blanket would be on the floor or his pacifier would be on the dresser etc. All somewhat explainable. One day I put him down for his nap with a bottle. A few minutes later I heard him screaming . When I went to check his bear was back in the toy box his bottle was across the room standing upright on the windowsill and there was a nasty red mark on his little hand. I stood in the middle of the room and screamed ' no more we are done". Started looking for a new place immediately and moved out within a month. There where no more incidents involving my son and only a few odd things after. So ghosts big yes

Without a doubt. I believe that there's more going on in the world (or outside of it) than meets the eye. And even though I respect people's opinions, there's part of me that dies a bit inside when someone isn't willing to except the possibilities. There's something so boring and flat about that, that I just can't shake.

While I don't believe in vampires or werewolves, I do believe that there are a lot of things that have yet to be explained by science, such as what happens after we die, psychic energy, and the Kardashians...that last one still doesn't seem natural...

I believe in spirits/ghosts. My brother passed at the age of 47 suddenly due to complications from surgery. Left behind was his wife of 20 years, his 13 year old nephew, 8 year old daughter, and 3 year old son who had been diagnosed as Autistic right before his passing. I spent a lot of time with my sister-in-law and my niece and nephews after his passing. My husband would join me when he could. One night shortly after his passing, my SIL asked if I could watch the kids for an hour or two and we went over. She had confided in me that they had argued horribly the day before and she threw her engagement/wedding bands at him in frustration (she wanted him to go to the hospital and he didn't want to go...he should have went). She was devistated not only because they argued, but she couldn't find her rings. She left and proceeded to begin getting all three ready for bed. My niece was in the shower and I stood by real close so she wasn't alone, but had her privacy. I started talking to my brother and was sitting on his side of the bed. I looked up towards heaven and asked him where he had put the rings. At that moment a feeling came over me (still am unable to explain) and I moved towards the end table on his side. I reached into the little remote holder and, yes, there were the rings. I called my husband upstairs and all I could do was hold my hand out with the rings. He started getting upset because he thought I was going through drawers looking for the ring (I would NEVER) and I stopped him and explained. When my SIL returned, I gently told her and she burst out crying. She asked me where I found them and I pointed to the remote caddy. She turned white and said that she had looked in there a couple of times. That same night, I was drying off the youngest getting his PJ's on him as he was laying on my SIL's bed and started giggling and reaching upwards all the while saying, "Hi Daddy!" So, yes, I do believe. I miss my brother...

Heck yeah! Aliens 100%. I mean, come on! There's so much space we haven't explored. Ghosts? Probably. Why not? Unicorns did exist at one point, but they didn't look how we imagine them. More like a fluffy rhino with a really long horn. Also, they're *probably* extinct now. Any aquatic cryptids, or even any that live on land, I think have a potential to exist. I mean, how much of the earth have we really explored? There's probably something out there.

Aliens are surely a thing somewhere, chances that we are alone in the universe are pretty slim.
The rest most likely not as they are usually based on natural occurrences like Hypertrichosis (abnormal amount of body hair growth) or Renfield's syndrome (pathological urge to drink blood) throughout history

There's a lot of supernatural in this world and some of it can be explained by science, but in my experience, odd things happen and there is seldom a logical explanation. The house I grew up in was haunted, so seeing things at an early age opened my mind to the fact that anything is possible.

Yes. My house is haunted by some child that talks to me in the morning. It woke me up by screaming today.

I'm personally on the fence about the supernatural.

It's possible that supernatural things, or even life on other planets (not exactly supernatural, but something that also has its existence put into question) could exist, but without seeing it for myself, I'm not going to concern myself with it too much.

I'm open to the idea of supernatural elements really existing, but if they don't, no skin off my back.

"Do I believe in the Supernatural?" Well, that question covers a lot of territory. I believe there's a lot more going on in the Universe than we understand. I also believe that any living thing's ability to understand the universe is largely limited by the nature of its senses (natural senses, or augmented, as we do with technology). But even with tech, the pictures we build of how the universe works are conditioned by how our senses caused our minds and thoughts to develop. I don't know if there *can be* a 'Supernatural', since everything is part of the same universe, but there's a lot we have no clue about. And until we learn how Mind, Thought, and Memory couple into the material world, I don't think we *can* understand this. Do I believe in the Supernatural? Sure, I guess, but I think my definition of it is somewhat different. Is there life after death? I'll let you know...

Not at all. There's just a lot of normal, ordinary stuff that we don't know anything about yet. But the fact that we still don't know how to explain some things, doesn't make them supernatural.

I believe humans in general have a limited understanding of the universe, and there are a lot of things that we simply do not understand or know. That's what scientific research is for. I don't have enough personal hubris to declare anything one way or the other; but, if "spirits", "gods", "angels", whatnot exist, they are a natural part of the world and therefore not supernatural. Their existence is just something we don't understand, and they appear supernatural to us because of that.

I would also argue concepts like "vampire", "mermaid" and so on are based on humanity too much to exist like we imagine them, if some form of the ideas do exist. ("Mermaid"? As in something sentient that lives underwater? Why not, on this planet or the other. But that it's literally half-human, half-fish? Sounds unrealistic. Evolution doesn't work that way.)

In short, am deeply agnostic.

I'm just very confused by what's real and what's not.

The only one I have very definite evidence for is poltergeist activity. We had it in the shop I worked at, way back in 1998. It wasn't too bad though, just occasionally quite annoying. It was the last year before the building was to be torn down for a new build, and we joked that the shop wasn't going to go down without one last fight.
