But just because Charlie runs Cult of Weird does not mean he expects everyone to understand and believe in some of the topics they cover. "I’m a skeptic, too. I have human remains and vintage Ouija boards in my house, and I’ve never experienced anything remotely paranormal," he shared. "These objects may have traumatized a visitor or two, but there aren’t any spirits or demons wandering around my house moving stuff and flipping light switches."
"People will sometimes go to great lengths to convince you of a thing they’ve made up for whatever reason," Charlie told Bored Panda. "But some stories are compelling and difficult to brush off so easily. You may not believe in ghosts, but when you make an effort to believe people, I think you start to see that there are more realities and perceptions than your own."
"I’ve never seen a flying saucer, but I had a conversation with my grandmother a few years ago about several sightings she’d had over Lake Michigan throughout her years that still perplexed her. It’s hard to discount that," Charlie says.
"We have many beliefs and superstitions today that originated hundreds or thousands of years ago when we didn’t have science to make sense of things. Yet there are still things - prophetic dreams, for example - that myself and others close to me have experienced, that scientific explanations just don’t seem to satisfy," he noted.
"My point is, I don’t think Bigfoot is out there throwing rocks at people in the woods, but I’m not going to assume I know what’s going on."
