Wife: Honey, I experienced something last night in bed that I would like to share with you. I was almost asleep, and I felt something come in the room, and I saw my Grandfather standing in the doorway. He died when I was a child. He came and sat with me and told me a lot of things, and that he was watching over me. It felt so nice to see him, and I hope I can talk with him again. | Wife: Honey, I experienced something last night in bed that I would like to share with you.

Husband: Betty, do you really think you saw a dead relative in our bedroom? Ghosts do not exist and all that paranormal stuff is bullsh**. You've been watching too many of those ridiculous Ghost hunter episodes. Don't be telling this story to anyone else, they'll think you have lost your mind. Now, get your head screwed on straight and pass me the | Husband: Betty, do you really think you saw a dead relative in our bedroom? Ghosts do not exist and all that paranormal stuff is bullsh**.

Experiencer: When I was 33, I had my first contact with enlightened extraterrestial entities that are not from this world. Because I have experienced this event, and many people still do not believe in the existence of off world beings from other realities, I feel it is my moral obligation to share that experience as honestly as I can to other people that may be interested. I know there is life beyond the earth plane, as I have had many chats with non human entities. | Experiencer: When I was 33, I had my first contact with enlightened extraterrestial entities that are not from this world.

Non-Experiencer: (Thinking -What a nut job!) There is no scientific evidence that supports that we have had ET contact, all UFO's and case studies were debunked as hoaxes a long time ago! You don't think the government and all of those people in the military and sciences would have found some kind of evidence to support this theory by now, if it was real? Whatever you think you saw, you imagined in your head. There are studies proving that brain waves can be manipulated so that people think they are talking with angels or some other made up entity. You're just another one of those crazy conspiracy theorists that ignore the facts proven in the hard sciences. | Non-Experiencer: (Thinking -What a nut job!)
