  6. the paranormal

    • astral projection
    • etc
  7. science fantasy
    • ufos and alien visitations
    • time travel
    • faster-than-light travel
    • etc
  8. conspiracy theory
    • too numerous to list

  9. etc

or in other words, just about anything left on the history channel.

while i enjoy speculation as well as anyone, ultimately i believe only in reason, the power of logic and the empirical method of acquiring facts and knowledge through the gathering and testing of evidence. if you come to me professing a belief in ghosts or ufos, don't expect me to take you seriously and do expect me to be skeptical of everything else you say.
