The belief in the unexplainable seems to have followed the human race since the dawn of time. It varies from places where the laws of nature seem to bend, to creatures that are made of pure nightmare fuel. Everybody has their reasons for what they believe, and no one is crazy for believing. What do we believe and why?
Most people believe in supernatural beings like ghosts or spirits, but what are they and what makes them unexplainable or a matter of belief? Ghosts or spirits are the souls of humans who passed away, but not moved on to the afterlife. People believe in the paranormal because of cultural reasons or even personal experiences such as a house inhabited by a spector. There are many different things that people use to communicate with the dead, such as ouija boards and spirit boxes. There are many things that make the paranormal hard to believe in, but when you look far enough into it there is enough evidence that makes you wonder if there really is something like that after death.
A runner up to the paranormal is the Bermuda Triangle. What is the Bermuda Triangle? It’s the ocean in between Bermuda; Miami, Florida; and San Juan, Puerto Rico. The conspiracy of it is unpredictable weather, and strange disappearances of both boats, aircrafts and even people that enter this triangle. It’s said that the triangle has a connection to the lost city of Atlantis. Unfortunately, there are scientific explanations for most of the “supernatural” occurrences here. The Gulf Stream that runs through the Bermuda Triangle often causes swift or even violent changes in the weather. Following this, most hurricanes follow a path through this area, often causing the various disappearances.
Next in line are the native, often hellish, creatures of the night, the cryptids. The name “cryptid” is used to replace the basic term monster. A cryptid is a creature that people claim to exist, with no real evidence. Some of the most famous cryptids are the Loch Ness Lake Monster, Mothman, Sasquatch, and the Chupacabra. These creatures are unexplainable by scientists, and many sightings claim that they are out there, but little is known apart from human lore. Many stories vary from hunting livestock to actively hunting humans. Many missing people cases in forests of the Appellation Mountains are labeled as a cryptid attack by the superstitious, with no proof other than disapeiring without a trace. There is a chance though, considering that humans don’t just vanish into thin air, right?
What about people who don’t believe in the unexplainable? For most people, they prefer to stay logical about what happens in this world. Natural laws in this world aren’t meant to be broken, and they wouldn’t be broken by nature itself let alone. A quote from an individual who wishes to stay anonymous stated, “I do not believe in conspiracy theories because they are theories. They do not have any or much factual base to support them. “. The lack of evidence for any of these theories is what makes these people stick to the solid facts of life.
Regardless of what or why we believe or don’t, they will always be things that the human mind simply isn’t able to understand. Sometimes the supernatural world is like trying to explain calculus to an elementary student, and sometimes things just aren’t meant to be explained but simply believed.
