People have been chemically jacking with their perceptions for at least 8000 years, given evidence in Egypt with drugs and booze.

I'm not a savage from the stone age. I can 'see' with the help of instruments across 5 or 6 times the frequencies that I can see as a human.

I'll have repeatable, verifiable proof, or it isn't so, or I won't rely on that information in my normal course of life business.

Until something happens that your precepts cannot explain. :^) And ONLY then.

I mean to say, until something happens to you that your precepts cannot explain.

Then you will understand that "repeatable, verifiable proof or it isn't so" is along the lines of figuring that if ABC didn't report it, it didn't happen.

Yet folks who were there know it did, and that it wasn't reported matters zilch. You'll be there one of these days -- something will happen to you that will prove a whole 'nother mystery dimension whether you like it or not -- and you'll have no repeatable, verifiable proof except your belief in your own sanity. It will make you think twice before assuming people who see things like ghosts have all indulged in "chemically jacking with their perceptions."

My dad used to think like you. Then he had identical twin boys.

It didn't necessarily make him believe in ghosts, but it sure stopped him from thinking "that's impossible!"

There are some things we don’t know how to measure or explain. Doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

Do you believe in God?
