Things That Go Bump in the Night.

Or in a bathroom in the middle of the day.

So, my ghostly encounters, (which I freely admit could have been caused by an old, creaky building, but weren’t), got me thinking again about the supernatural. There are a lot of people who don’t believe in this stuff. And there are a lot of people who do. But this is an area where I strongly feel that no proof in the world will be enough for the skeptics, and there is no proof in the world that will make believers stop believing, which is why spiritual and supernatural live in the same category for me.

I’m struck by the fact that, in a lot of people, these beliefs seem to be dueling. They refuse to live harmoniously. Especially in Christians, who believe in a God and all of the stuff in the Bible, but think that belief in ghosts somehow adds to their list of sins.

I’d love further explanation on this, because I just don’t understand.
