Because people decide to chemically jack with their perceptions.

Sometimes.

But sometimes not. I mean, Johnny, ghosts have been part of human lore for more than 5,000 years, across all civilizations.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who've experienced psychic phenomenon, and those who haven't. I'll bet that before horses and wheels, Indians across America were skeptical of reports of a never-ending lake shore that constantly moved. Probably thought folks who'd seen the sea had been doing a little too much peyote! No such thing as a lake that big!

There is a whole 'nother level of being in terms of human consciousness and/or activity, with communication, that is weakly understood, but it exists. I don't understand it and my experiences with it have only ever been fleeting, but I know it as surely as I know gravity rules and water is wet, and all the books and experts in the world who pooh-pooh it are just so much piffle.

As chessplayer quoted, "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio ..."

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.
