The main problem I keep having with the whole idea of this
and I have the same problem with the idea of ghosts and aliens, is that when people begin to explain their own experiences there are far too many which scream out MAD!

I knew a guy once who suffered with paranoid delusions - he used to see goblins in the loo and other such delights (and that was as a child so not as the result of illegal substances). He now relies upon an entire truck load of medication to get him through each day without harming himself.

All that said, it's really easy to just dismiss people with odd ideas as ill but looking back in history plenty of people died for their strange ideas which we now rely upon and regard as Fact.

Imagine if we were to go back in time and tell the Vikings about electricity, the internet, modern medicine, global warming. How long do you think we'd last before we were ripped limb from limb?

Mind you I think if we were to tell them about Viking kittens singing metal songs we'd be fine.
