Although you illustrate it rather well with your percentages.

So, reality is a probability field, and what you believe is a big factor in what the probability is. For example, your door may have a probability of 99.9%, and sometimes when you're hunting your car keys they may only have a probability of 50%. Things on the edge...things groups of people marginally believe in...have a less percentage of existing, but do pop in and out of reality...things like the loch ness monster, which clearly can't exist in Loch Ness because the lake couldn't support the creature, but every now and then somebody has a very real experience. Same with Big Foot...there have been some impossible tracks found with dermal ridges going up steep hills where no human could trek with that long a stride, but if it really existed we'd find a body...so the creature may just be on the border of our more-dreamlike-than-we-know reality with a somewhat low probability of existence.<BR/><BR/>Which all brings me to werewolves, fairies, and vampires. In past centuries, there was probably a larger belief in the population for these things, and thus they probably had a higher probability of popping in and out of our collective reality...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, that's my just-educated-enough-to-be-dangerous theory.JoeChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04666354789291684470noreply@blogger.com
