I somewhat agree with Ses on this one. It's all about the mind in this sort of case.
If someone believes in something mystical chances are it'll manifest itself when they need support. People see miracles because they believe in them, for example.
During World War II, my grandfather could have sworn he saw la Vírgen de Guadalupe. There was an article in the local newspaper that mentions it in better detail.
If people believe things like that can happen, why can't they believe in ghosts or possessions? The mind can be a powerful thing if it's combined with large amounts of energy.
Ses wasn't insulting you personally, either. He was using "you" as a general statement for anyone/someone.
ninja And he was just disagreeing with your point of view.

ninja Uncle Johnny. Excerpt from Chapter 22 of Mama's Santos
At one point, Juan thought all was lost.
Sitting in a shallow foxhole blasted from frozen ground, Juan was surrounded by German forces and under heavy fire.
"I started praying to la Vírgen de Guadalupe, and I saw her. She came to me. She spoke: 'Juan Diego, are you afraid to die?'
"No, I am not afraid to die. I just want God to forgive my sins," Juan told la Vírgen.
The brown-skinned beauty "reached her hand out to me and touched my forehead. She then disappeared.
"A miracle occurred. American troops started coming. There was reinforcement. The troops pushed the Germans back, and the American troops were able to get out of there safely," says Uncle Johnny, his face overtaken by an expression of amazement.
He made a promise to la Vírgen that when the war was over and he was sent home, he would make a trip to Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, and light candles at the church there.
He did, and he gave the priest all the money he had won playing poker and dice on the ship back to the states. The priest and Uncle Johnny knelt together and prayed. "He blessed me, saying: 'Vaya con Dios.' (Go with God.)
