Aliens, yeah.

It's naive to think we're the only ones

I would discount all except the Aliens and Ghosts.

Those two have some possibilities.

I 100% believe aliens exist. I also think it's extremely doubtful that they have ever visited Earth

About the only aliens that could sustain life over long space flights would be mechanical and less organic.

I don't think "aliens" falls under the belief/disbelief umbrella. More like, "do you accept the existence of off world life forms or are you an idiot?" IMO

Also, I think it's extremely foolish to discount or ridicule anyone for saying they have seen any of the things on that list.

Do you believe in any sort of higher power? If so, all things are possible through it. Including cryptids. If you don't believe in a higher power, you are a fool. Again, just my opinion.

I've been all over Loch Ness. I seriously doubt that a plesiosaur or any other "sea monster" could live in that nasty water.

Kentucker, do you believe in any of that stuff? You're the smartest among us.

Yes. Odds are too good, but I don't believe they've ever visited us.

- Ghosts
Not sure about ghosts, but absolutely some form of the paranormal. Seen/heard too much inexplicable stuff.

- Sasquatch/Bigfoot
Possible, but unlikely.

I am skeptical of anything that goes well beyond what we know and understand scientifically, especially regarding the supernatural.

In your list, I believe it's perfectly reasonable to think that there is at least some kind of rudimentary life (if not intelligent life) elsewhere in the Universe. However, I do not think it's reasonable (because of the vast distances in interstellar space) that we have been visited by aliens.

I don't think there's a Bigfoot or Nessie. However, at least similar animals have existed in the past and they aren't just totally absurd. With those two it's more of a wrong place / wrong time kind of thing - like a T-Rex walking down the street. But that's what folks thought about the coelacanth.

Alien life is the most plausible in that list. Ghosts maybe a second. I've never seen either and would prefer to keep it that way.

I agree with the first part but not the second. I would be less surprised to plow over Bigfoot while driving along I-90 in Washington than to see a legitimate apparition of a dead person.

The paranormal is a mind hack that can be practiced by anyone willing to give it a serious go.

Essentially, you will not see the paranormal aspect of reality if you do not want to. Except on certain occasions where you are in close enough proximity to someone powerful enough to manifest a paranormal happening strong enough for others to see it too.

ETA: Also, a person can become a conduit for paranormal activity by accident sometimes as well.

I don't advise people to fool with ouija boards for instance.

I'm not gonna give instructions on the internet. Most people battle with mental illness once they have become a channel for the paranormal.
