Thinking about it, I think I've got two different kinds or tiers of 'belief'. There's science and realism and shit in the main, serious tier. Core beliefs, I guess. Then there's the magical, fun tier. I like a little magic and see no harm in it (as long as that magic doesn't have anything to do with in and out crowds and finger pointing and judgement). This tier is for ghosts and the metaphysical and tarot and old gods etc. Stuff that I don't necessarily believe believe but find enriching anyway. I haven't nurtured this tier for a long time myself though.

That said. I've definitely had one or two weird experiences in life, although also more when I was younger and more open to it. So I'm not going to rule it out. But I'm also just as open to there always being some 'real' explanation.
