It's definitely possible. Cryptozoology is an interesting train of thought. I'm not even a big believer in it so much as I absolutely hate the redditor trope of "Um ackshually sweetie, you need to have an accredited expert with a lab coat and a made up title to approve something before you belive it." Things can exist without scientists putting their stamp of approval on it.

There was a good art bell episode with a pretty convincing story , cant remember it. But one I did remember had something to do with it was all the people that seem to just disappear in national parks. At face value sure it could just be animals getting them but they where a lot of there one second gone the next creepy shit.
Probably David Paulides. He really pushes the bigfoot abducting people in the park theory

Especially Reddit 's "explanation" for the Dyatlov Pass Incident. I love how a bunch of perennially unemployed, sexually confused shut ins who are incredibly close minded regarding anything remotely supernatural somehow think that they are qualified to explain anything other than the ravages of Type 2 diabetes.

I think you're catholic, right? Wouldn't you have to agree that otherwise rational people who are not known to hallucinate or confabulate have definitely reported being in the presence of all sorts of strange entities when the social costs of doing so outweigh any benefit that might be gained? The apostles and early witnesses weren't exactly celebrated for their testimonies, to use an obvious example. Obviously Christ and the Holy Spirit are of a different order than the angels and demons reported in other parts of the Bible but the principle is the same.

What seems to happen is that the general details of the entities correspond to the cultural predispositions of the witnesses but the broad strokes of these visitations are very, very similar once they're broken down into good, bad and neutral categories.

If reddit atheists could actually understand that they wouldn't be reddit atheists.

Right. It doesn't help that people's frame of reference for a lot of these bizarre entities come from movies and television, which completely disregard the existence of any kind of preternatural world. Same with that "simulation theory" crap. No way it could be God or an evil force outside of time influencing our realm. We must live in a computer! Dummies.

Simulation theory is like panspermia - it just pushes the problem one step further without answering anything. If you ask "and where did the simulator/preexisting life come from" they'll just appeal to naturalism again.
