I’m not sure I specifically buy the tic tac thing; but that’s one story out of thousands.
I guess I’m not so jaundiced that I view all of those people as liars. If you read or hear their accounts, a lot of them seem possessed of very good sense and observational skills.
Not all liars, many are confused, or psychologically wanting, NEEDING, to see things.
It serves me well. I also do not get frightened of “haunted” places.
And many are backed up by radar data.
