Believer

[(Anonymous)]

I've had too many encounters to disbelieve in such things. I've been having them far longer than this show has been on.

Watched this often, and even met the guys once. I think this show is a great one for skeptics and believers. I've learned a fair amount watching it. I haven't seen it years, but as I recall from the early seasons, they used to have several episodes in a row where they found nothing, and debunked everything. The biggest thing I learned was how EMP can cause feelings of being watched. Now that's what I first assume when it happens.

You are not the only one. There are a lot of things, especially things that happened when I had friends over as a kid that I can say, we were just freaking our selves out over nothing. Other thing, no one can tell me that shit did not actually happen.
I had a toy move on its own like an invisible person had sat down on the floor next to me, picked it up and started playing with it.
We had a radio that started turning itself on. The family would likes to have chalked this up to the wiring going bad as it got older, but it only turned on when Sweet Home Alabama was on the radio. I can't listen to that fucking song.
Something I can't blame on group freak out when I had friends over is the cars on my little brother's race track moving on their own. Another thing is the time we tried using a ouija board shortly after the death of a family member that hated ouija boards. We had the sweetest, most harmless little sheltie at the time. The moment we had set up the board, and put out hands on the little moving thing, she started growling at us, and would not quit until we put the board away. That is the only time I ever heard that dog growl in her entire life.

I am the same way. But I have a more Fox Mulder way of thinking things. I believe. However, I want proof before I believe in what you say.

Re: Believer

Which is actually the conclusion Mulder comes to eventually. You need evidence or proof to get other people to consider that maybe you're not crazy. As I get older I realize that the X-Files is actually a really good show for scientists to watch. There's this book called The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, I had to read it for a grad class. The author, Thomas Kuhn basically says that scientists don't see as far as they do because they "stand on the shoulders of giants." Knowledge doesn't accumulate through out time, not really. Instead the present paradigm is shaken up by someone and then current theories and ideas reassessed. Which is what happens to Scully through out the show. In the end she doesn't throw away her methods, she instead changes her world view to one that is open to that 0.00001 when the experiment didn't go as planned.
I'm also a believer only because too much weird shit has happened to me that's with out a mundane answer. And I'm also an anthropology grad student. I have trouble reconciling the two sometimes.

I've been taking some anthro classes, including one on dreams and dreaming. Last I knew, she was on the only prof in the US to teach it. Sometimes things just are, whether we want a clear answer to them or not. We tend to forget that in this modern age...
