Does anyone believe supernatural rubbish?

I've answered them.
People don't like to talk about their experiences, so many remain hidden.
No you haven't. I asked, quite explicitly, why you believe you've encountered these amazingly rare events multiple times and whether it was a belief that you're more sensitive to them or because of a possible mental illness.People don't like to talk about their experiences, so many remain hidden.
You can't say suggest there's 7.49999999Bn people on the planet who experience these things and then don't talk about them for fear of ridicule. That'd be a bigger leap than anything else mentioned on this thread.

Ah, apologies. I'm getting hit from all angles here, so I missed this bit.You can't say suggest there's 7.49999999Bn people on the planet who experience these things and then don't talk about them for fear of ridicule. That'd be a bigger leap than anything else mentioned on this thread.
Maybe I am sensitive to this 'kind of thing'. I certainly don't go looking for it. Saying that, nothing out of the ordinary has happened for the last couple of years.

Has anyone ever blown on you (please no tedious blow-job jokes)?
Of course.Would you answer the question though please. When someone has blown on me in the past, I've known it was 'exhaled air' because I've seen the person do it.
I've also felt warm and moist air on my arm when I've been operating machinery, opening the oven, or a whole host of other things.
Unless I'm mistaken, and it's actually my oven ghost that's blowing on me every time I make a pizza.
It was pretty amazing, and scary as I've previously said.

That's just it. It felt like it was coming from someone stood maybe a foot and a half away, but I was looking at thin air as it happened.

Right, but there was no-one there.It was pretty amazing, and scary as I've previously said.
So your conclusion was that it was a ghost. Not any of the other rational explanations, such as a simple draught from somewhere. It was a ghost.
Can I ask what you do for a living?
I work on the railway, maintenance and renewals.
At no point have I mentioned the term 'ghost'. That's a black and white term that sceptics use.
I don't think it's as simple as that. I think there's definitely something out there which we're not meant to really understand, but it may cross our paths occasionally.
This is based on what I have experienced.

And any concern that it may be mental illness?
No. None at all.Would you rather be privy to something amazing that only a few people in the world have experienced or mentally ill/different?

If you feel a sensation on your skin, akin to a draught, but can not see where that movement of air could possibly be coming from, then the explanation is that your sensory systems were momentarily 'glitching' and giving you a false experience.
Nothing whatsoever needs the presence of supernatural things in order for them to be explained.
People want to believe there are supernatural things, and that's fine. There may even be supernatural things, I could not possibly prove there are not, because I too am made of matter and therefore can not interact with anything supernatural. But, by definition, we would never be able to detect them under any circumstances. All claimed experiences of the supernatural are false positives.
Can I say this for the final time?
It wasn't a draught.
I felt the individual puffs of air dissipate on my forearm, exactly as exhaled air feels when someone blows on you, it was also fairly warm, just like human breath when it's travelled a foot or so through the air.
As for mental illness, I've never had cause to think this. My job is a skilled, safety critical role. Nothing has ever given me or others (apart from PHers) any cause for concern.

Not that I disagree with your second point
