miggs or nightowl...I'm not saying that there is no cush thing as the supernatural, demon posession, unnatural sleep paralysis, unnatural beings roaming in the real world, etc.
But that type of stuff usually happens, or at least supposedly happens mostly to people who are already inclined in belief or even lean towards a false hope towards supernatural events.
Shit it happenned to me when I didn't believe in any of it.
I was in denial the whole time.
I thought to myself, "oh this is just a medical condition, my minds playin tricks on me" etc.
That's how non-believers cope with such shit.
They fall in a transe of denial.
Shit I would try to forget that certain shit even happenned.
I can go on how strange shit happenned all through my life during a time when I didn't believe in what I can't see or understand. The shit that changed my mind was the fact that I kept going through shit to the point where it wasn't a coincedence anymore. And now that my eyes have been openned, I can clearly see what I was going through.
You see it all depends how you look at the situation.
Do you look at it with an open mind to new ideas? Or do you close your mind and pretend like it's not happenning?
That's where it comes down to. But everyone goes through this shit, the difference is, some people accept it and others don't.
Some people are convinced and other are not....
It takes something very dramatic for some folks to accept it.

You don't usually hear the average person talking about how a demon held them down, or a being ran through their backyard after peering in their window, etc. I can account alot of strange experiences in my time, mostly due to things like sleep deprivation, drug use, starvation, etc, but I never chalk any of it up to the supernatural. I can account most of the time with some sort of state I put my self in, and the things I can't write off that way...think about it this way...rational thoughts fill our minds day in and day out. Things that can be accounted for scientifically, rationally, etc.
It takes a big skeptic to find the truth.
I can explain a lot of shit I saw through my childhood years.
Hear voices at night, saw shit at night, saw shit during the day.
It was all imagination, your mind can paint vivid pictures and fool the shit out of you.
I can talk about the time that something chased me in the woods after gettin high as hell, but then it I was under the influence so I know it was just in my mind.
I can go on....
But there's shit that can't be explained. Shit that science deems false just because it can't explain it. Just because we don't have the proper tools for space exploration yet, it doesn't mean there isn't life in other planets. And the same can be said for the spirit world. There's hints out there for those who do not believe, at least give it that. But we know the mentality of these people, seeing is believing. It all depends how they look at those hints....
You really gotta dig in deep bro, the truth is out there.
Just how bad do you want it?

If supernatural, occult, and such occurences all happen so often, then why don't people who do NOT believe in it come up with as many strange stories and bullshit as the people who do?
They have the experiences, they spare the stories for the reasons I stated above.

If you already believe all kinds of strangeness exists in the world, then of course you are more likely to explain a strange light or strange thing happening as 'Ooh, that was a evil spirit', or some shit, because 99 percent of the time, the people who tell me those wack ass stories about whatever, I already know are people who WANT to believe it.
True, I won't argue with that.
I bet 90% of the shit you hear from people can be explained as natural phenomenon.
But some of the people living these experiences aren't seein or hearin shit. There's a bit of truth behind every rumor and every legend, at least to an extent.
I've been through the my mind's playin tricks one me, I'm high and I'm seein shit, sleep deprivation, etc....
I've learned to recognize the real from the fake.
I guess I'm just speaking for myself....
I'm sure there's cats out there who've experienced the same shit.
