I love old cemetaries for the atmosphere. I like looking at the decorations on the older stones, and reading the names and speculating about their lives.
I do believe in ghosts/the supernatural/miscellaneous weird stuff, because I've seen too much in the way of oddities to not believe in it. Science as we know it now can't explain everything, and I like it that way. Wouldn't it be dull if there were nothing left that's unexplained?
Like I believe in the possibility of UFOs. I've seen one flying thing that I couldn't identify, but I don't consider it that big a deal. I'm fairly sure somebody could have identified what I saw, even if I couldn't. But like many things, I can't prove that they do or don't exist.
That's something that I've always thought when it comes to weird stuff. Can you prove conclusively that it -doesn't- exist? Sure, you can show how that flying thing was really a weather balloon and the eerie cold breeze out of nowhere came from air currents in an old house, but does proving that those things aren't aliens or ghosts prove that aliens or ghosts aren't real?

Reality - Your Mileage May Vary.
