I don't. It's unverifiable anecdotes.

I believe in 4 out of those 10.

And by 'believe' I don't mean I'm certain they happen, but rather I'm not certain they don't.

What about recorded data that can't be simply explained conventionally?

My freshman year in college, there was someone (or something) that would continually leave a giant #######(s) in the bathroom on our floor. No toilet paper to go along with it. So either there was a phantom pooper, or a really clever freshman. I can't explain it, but I don't think it was a ghost.

That's not the kind of recorded data I meant. There has been thermal imaging, audio recordings, video capture of strange, ethereal beings. I wouldn't go as far as saying there is proof that ghosts exist, but on the flip side, you can't easily dismiss such data as nothing.

Yes I can. I dismiss them just as easily as I do people who "speak in tongues". It really is that easy, and liberating.

There's no other possible explanation!

My niece and nephew who will be visiting me this weekend w00t, are uncanny in their communication. They have their own little language. But I don't think it's the supernatural.

If your definition of 'supernatural' is things we haven't yet found the explanation for, then sure, but if the definition is things that defy explanation, that are counter to all the received knowledge we have as to how things work, then absolutely not. There is no magic.
