Yes. I am a firm believer in stuff that we don't know WTF.
See, that's where you and I are different, Lady Hib. I tend to believe more firmly in stuff that I *do* know about. For instance, I believe very firmly indeed in the existence of light bulbs, on account of there being one in the lamp to the left of my screen. Contrastingly, however, I find that I believe less firmly in the existence of talking hamsters, because I've never come across one. Well, vive la difference, I always say: it's all part of life's rich tapestry.
Talking hams?? Coolness!
But I shall clarify: I want there to be unanswered questions, things that cannot be readily explained, phenomena that make us think. I was trained to be a scientist way back when, and it's never left me. So, while I KNOW that in order to have ONE Sasquatch, there must be a BREEDING POPULATION, I am intrigued by oddball sightings, and want to know what they ARE.
Which is why Ghost Hunters is one of my fave shows, I guess... Jason and Grant are into DEBUNKING oddball stuff, and most of the show is about showing that yeah, this happened to you, and THIS is the cause. When the DO find seriously unexplainable things and catch them on film, even cooler, because it's more to investigate. (most neato: there was a big old building with a FREEZING ballroom...J & G, being plumbers by trade, started mucking around in the basement and found that the vent shafts had been blocked ages ago by giant blankets! et voila, coldness explained)
(HILARIOUS is that show with Yvette Fielding, where they all shriek like kiddies whenever something creepy happens! It's like they're telling stories around the campfire, but with a FLIR instead of a flashlight!)
