Journal Prompt
Do you believe in ghosts or the supernatural?  Why or why not?  Why do you think they remain so prevalent in our stories and folklore? ​​​​

I don't think ghosts or the supernatural actually exists, but I think it's a very fascinating concept for so many people because it taps into people's deepest fears or mysteries. Folklore and ghosts offer a way to sort of explain the unexplainable.

I think anomaly's are real. I feel like everyone has experienced a Casper encounter. Film adaptations have made ghost movies surreal. so basically yes, in a certain form of gaseous.

Yes, I do I believe in ghosts and the supernatural in general. This is because I was raised with ghost stories, but also be aware of Skinwalkers, wendigos and the 'little children'. I also believe in it, because scientists have proved that parallel dimensions go through Earth, so these things like Skinwalkers can be real. I believe they remain prevalent in stories or folklore, because Once upon a time they might have actually seen these creatures or ghosts or mistake like a man riding a horse as a centaur. It also is passed generation to generation and has always been here. No one would really where they came from, but they stuck because it was horrifying about hearing ghost stories or Skinwalkers and keeps you from entering abandoned places or going into the woods by yourself or in the dark.
