No, and most hauntings are actually gas or carbon monoxide leaks.

Nope
No but I really want to, I love spooky stuff
I don't believe in the supernatural. While our world would be cooler for it, there's no good evidence of it. Watching some spooky stream VODs and Nyanners was reacting to this video on an app that spat out random coords that got steam after a bunch of teens found a body after following the coords. In the video the guy insisted that he was 100% skeptical as he used it, and then ran into an ambulance at his destination, and after manifesting death, on their way to the coords they almost got annihilated by an oncoming car, which they didn't show. The app claims quantum numbers and a bunch of new age buzz words with "a lot" of strange coincidences resulting, but I still don't see it as anything other than finding something kinda creepy because you got primed for it.
Ghost videos are also rather annoying and over the years I think I've gotten a decent knowledge base to analyze and figure out the tricks. Same stream, same video creator was showing videos he had no explanation of, like a toy train rolling on the floor, or cats doing weird stuff. I will say though, it's genuinely fun to watch ghost videos and look for the flaws that prove it's fake. John Wolfe has some good ones.
Generally I don't care if someone believes in ghosts or supernatural phenomenon, have fun as long as you don't hurt someone, but people that intentionally lie and misrepresent their position deserve a special punishment. I've long since softened on my anti-religious kick with the help of age, time to reflect, and learning more about various theologies. A lot of what I dislike I can attribute to the correct causes with a material understanding rather than just a knee jerk fuck all religions.
Sometimes I wish spooky stuff was real, or that I could at least see ghosts. It must be fun living in that world. Me personally, the most I'll say is that some places are cursed, but that curse is just the knowledge of what happened at that site.
I think the supernatural is cool to read about, and I would like something supernatural like magic to be real, but I've yet to experience or witness anything that could be considered such.
nah I don't think people can do magic also I never understood why people are scared of ghosts what are they gonna do kill me I'll just come back as a ghost and beat them up
no
I personally believe that magic and the supernatural are just a means of explaining something that defies explanation. Whether it's something that we just have a hard time wrapping our heads around, or a phenomenon that we don't have the tools to explain yet. Over time we gained the ability to really explain stuff, but these practices have been held onto and passed down for so long that they don't just go away.
I don't believe in magic or the supernatural on a logical level. That said, I do believe there are aspects of our experiences that just defy our understanding.
Why would I believe something there's no evidence for? It may or may not be true, but there's no way to know unless you logically deduce it or use experimental evidence.
I'm casting a magic missile right now
Nope. When I was a kid I coulda sworn I saw an octopus floating out my window, but it was probably a hallucination. I don't like things that don't have logical explanations, even if the explanations are only hypothesises, and hand-waving about 'conscious energy' feels human-centric to me, as if we're somehow special because we're conscious.
all life that has a central nervous system is probably conscious imo. plants could have some kind of alien internal awareness too. its not about humans being special, its about life being special. heck for all i know every atom and inanimate object has a kind of experience of its own.
I don't actually believe in the supernatural, but I do wish it existed and occasionally pretend it exists.
I'm gonna sound like an 18 year old dude taking a first philosophy class, and I do not have my thoughts on this fully worked out by any means, but I truly believe we view the world through a filter, and that filter is socially constructed. Other people can see things that I can't see. Those things I can't see are magic.
Edit: This is largely based on me reading people's accounts of a specific traumatic event where the victims were from a very different culture than the perpetrators. The perception between cultural groups of what was physically happening (and possible) was wildly different and the events were literally shaped by what people were/were not able to see right in front of them.
I wish tbh
