For me it’s not a matter of belief vs. disbelief. It’s that it is a possible answer for some of the events that take place during a percentage of sightings.
I grew up in the woods. From the age of 9 on I have tried to spend as much free time as I can in the forests (mostly alone). I practice survival and bushcraft techniques as well as the more common themes of hiking and camping. In all those years I have experienced many strange things, most of which I can’t explain. Or, I should say, I couldn’t explain. However, when you open your field of vision a little wider and accept that there are other answers to questions. Answers that go beyond what you were taught were allowed. Then the world starts to make more sense.
I believe we will only find the answers when we look at the questions through the kaleidoscope of science, spirituality, folklore and legend. Then, the paranormal will become normal and our “reality” will be shown for what it really is.
