Haha! Oh trust me, I'm a scientist at heart. I have my BS in entomology, I have years of experience working in a lab setting, and I took and loved my physics classes. When people just come up and tell me some crap like "HEY I saw a ghost and it had fairy wings and a blue tail" I obviously have a reaction similar to yours, except I typically just nod and keep it to myself.
However, seeing these things, and having others experience the same, is too much to ignore. There is something there. It cannot readily be proven.
On a scientific level, we're missing something though. Some fundamental explanation for what so many people experience daily. I suspect it ties all the way back to the big bang, and more than likely, outside of it completely. We may never know on this plane of existence. It may be impossible to examine what is outside of the jar, when you live inside the jar. That's my take on it. As always, I don't really know, but that seems like a reasonable direction to go.
