because most people do not believe in the paranormal, and they assume the only way of seeing or feeling these kind of things is through drugs, which can cause hallucinations.
they might also do it to f with u just cause they think its funny lol
try the paranormal section in yahoo answers.

Because people are ignorant and fearful of anything that lies outside of their small, circumscribed limited personal experience.
u should get off the drugs…
Because they are ignorant, shallow, and see life as a series of simple answers and don’t have anything better to say (see previous answer.) They think they’re being smart and righteous, but they’re really just showing how arrogant, simplistic, and ignorant they are.
The other reason is because they don’t know or care about these topics, it gives them the right to bully you around because their “God” will protect them. lol
They were being sarcastic. Because these particular things are not a common beliefs in main line society.I am assuming from your question that you believe in these types of things, ghost… Well. while you may, the majority of people do not.
My question to you is why are you into these types of things, there is so much in life that you could focus on that is believable.
There are very few people who even know what your talking about,it seems odd to them so they assume your on something to make you believe such things,I personally do not believe in ghosts and auras and the like but would never tell you or anyone something hurtful because I am uneducated in these things and do not want to educate myself in them,do what you like and try and ignore the haters and hopefully glean some information that you need from people like minded as yourself,another problem is that people get awarded points for answering,some will answer any question for points
I believe you don’t, even though I have never met you.
People are projecting their fears and disdain of drugs onto you, who happens to be a neutral zone from their perspective. They can vent their intolerance of drugs in a way they find humorous and directed to a stranger.
The best remedy is to let it come in… let it go out. Getting caught up on it only leads you to feeling inflamed.
Blessed be!
It’s usually a jokey answer, used to highlight the fact that people who believe in these things are either deluding themselves, or experiencing a psychadelic trip – or at the very least sound that way. The are not demostrating a rational approach to the world we experience. Drugs is actually the more lenient explaination. I don’t state this, as a habit, but have been tempted to the more people use weak evidence to support their views. I’m an empiricist, though.
This is because most people interested in psychology are interested in the scientific study of it. And scientific, empirical and objective studies strongly suggest auras, ghosts and astral projection and psychic powers don’t exist. There will be people who are more accepting of your beliefs, but probably in a reigious or spiritual or paranormal section.
The problem is usually you are putting the questions in the wrong area.
