Statyk's is the most convincing, but could be down to need of sleep, drunk/other factors (you do lsd bro?) and the simple placebo effect on other tired and affected minds. YC could have simply hallucinated or otherwise.
It could be real, but with no evidence other than witness statements (The same evidence that exists for god) why would you believe in it?
I have quite the clear head. =] I'm a generally normal human being, but my mind wanders. Happened a lot during school mostly.
And the reason I believe in it is the same people do for gods, so I think it's fair. Yeah, maybe there isn't much, if any, honest evidence supporting my claims, but to me, it seems technically logical to think about. We'll never know until something solid happens I suppose. But for now, I think I'd like to keep that a mystery to save from something bad happening.
