The question was do you believe in ghosts, not the supernatrual.  Though yeah, Supernatural is just a term used for stuff we can't explain yet.

I mean, even god, if god existed just as people say god existed has a "natural" explination in that he lives outside of nature.  Like how a programmer could make "supernatural" changes to virtual world created just like ours.

Yep. That's true. But when people say "ghosts", I think they're reffering to a certain concept (as in supernatural phenomenon). There's a rational explanation to this if it actually is true, but people right now don't see it that way.

Maybe, I dunno, i've never really met anyone who thought of the Supernatural as "something that will never be explained."

I mean, maybe you don't have those shows in Romania but they have "Ghost hunting" shows in the US.  They set up cameras, night vision goggles, recorders, tempeture and electric reading machines.

All kinds of technological stuff... and these are the people that believe in ghosts... and they do find stuff on the meters that coincide with things that they consider ghosts and such.

LOL, of course we have those shows over here. They're on the Discovery Channel.

The idea is that most people I know that believe in the "supernatural", consider it by definition something than cannot be exaplained. Supernatural is by definition "beying above or beyond what is natural", which is not the same as "something that cannot be rationally explained yet (with the knowledge we have), but will be exaplained in the future (with the knowledge we'll accquire)".
