Supernatural, Extraterrestrials, and Cryptids?

[Jackson2005]

This might seem a lot like a Reddit post but YOLO. Wondering if anybody on here believes in, or
has any personal stories/experiences with Ghosts, Aliens, Bigfoot, etc. I’ve met people that have claimed to have seen Aliens, Shadow People, Black Eyed Kids, The Dover Demon, Jersey Devil,
Beast Of Bray Road, Goatman,
And The Michigan Dogman. Also have met ranchers/farmers that claim to have encountered
Skinwalkers, Chupacabras, Hellhounds, Wendigos, and of course Bigfoot. What are y’all’s takes? Does anybody else here believe in this stuff, or has anyone else encountered anything like these? If so I would like to hear the story about your experience, thanks.

Aliens exist, but aren't anywhere near our solar system, and we are unlikely to ever get close enough to meet any.

Chupacabras are just coyotes with mange.

Bigfoot is just a guy in a suit who played a prank, though gorillas are basically the real equivalent of a sasquach.

The rest is made up bullshit.

What do you think the odds are of ghosts, phantoms, poltergeists, demons, etc existing?

Zero.

Souls do not exist, because if they existed, neurodegenerative diseases and brain injuries would not cause cognative decline, and souls would also outnumber the living more than googolplex to 1, so everyone would see those things literally everwhere all the time.

People who buy into the idea of souls, forget that the dead far outnumber the living, and that when your nervous system starts dying, so does your mind.
