I think this is a really cool forum for people to unload in. Having a place where people are open to different ideas and experiences and are willing to share and others can comment without condescension is really valuable. I appreciate the friendly atmosphere.
I think that folks like Wolph shouldn't be so afraid to share because of the skeptics, I think there are for more 'believers' and open minded people than there are the skeptics.
Even if there is a perfectly logical, scientific, natural reason for some of the things that happen to these people, there is nonetheless the fact that their perceptions have shaped their realities. Nothing that anyone says about 'you imagined it' or 'you were on drugs' (Which in most every case has been firmly established that no, they weren't) changes that these people see what happened to them as very real, very scary, or otherworldly/ supernatural.
If you weren't there when it happened to them, I don't think anyone has a right to tell them that they are crazy.
Personally, I've never had anything like what people have said happen to me, and I won't say that it can never happen to anyone.
I think it would be better if everyone could at least approach the subject the way calimehtar put it, as a 'paranormal agnostic'. If you haven't experienced something firsthand, be open to the idea that it could happen to other people and may eventually happen to you...
