Interesting replies.

To add to the pot a little:
I always hear people's personal supernatural experience stories start with "when I was a child".
To me, that automatically lowers the credibility level somewhat considering how powerful a child's imagination is. When I was a kid, I remember laying down to sleep and seeing a zombie head float up from the bottom bunk. Scared the shit out of me.
I mean, everyone knows zombie heads can't float.

Some believers in the paranormal might say that children are more sensitive to spiritual manifestations because they haven't been dulled and desensitized by logic over time.
I don't believe that.
I say that logic merely counters the tendency to freely imagine things into perceptual existence.
You grow up and learn how things work. Suddenly magic turns out to be only an illusion. It's not that we're killing off all the faeries, it's just that we're learning they never existed in the first place.
