Human beings have believed some truly wacky things over the course of history, like the divine right of kings and the oracles of Greece. No matter how much we want to think of ourselves as rational, left-brained Sheldon Cooper types, few are immune from both the wrongheaded ideas of our time, and the likes of intuition and gut instinct.

Personally, I'm all for indulging in the idea of a little magic — so long as it isn't harming anybody else. Having conviction in things that annoying people would dismiss as BS adds a welcome dash of novelty into our lives. It can even be quite comforting. Certain beliefs are more widespread than we might expect, as a recent Twitter thread has underlined. Asking users what their 'most woo woo belief' was, there were a fascinating range of answers on the topic. If you're the kind of individual who explodes at the merest mention of something like astrology, maybe you should sit this one out.

    Font - ShadowSuit @BeingShadowSuit Replying to @opheliamuses More a hypothesis, but that our nervous systems have some kind of imprint or echo: dark energy, another dimension, bizarre quantum mechanics, something. And this explains many experiences we cannot yet explain. Possibly including connections or effects on other echoes.

    Font - Jessica Ritchey @Ruby Stevens Replying to @opheliamuses That places that witness a lot of terrible things do actually absorb some of that energy. Maybe not bloody ghost twin manifestations, but I've definitely been in places that felt "off."

    Font - hvmantrxsh @hvmantrxsh Replying to @opheliamuses Chakras are real, I could feel them spinning and visualize them throughout my body when I was meditating on ac!d and mushrooms. This was before I knew much about chakras (their placements and stuff) but I looked it up after and all the colors were in the right places.

    Font - Jeff Lockhart @5starfrogsplas1 Replying to @opheliamuses We've evolved to see and hear what's necessary to survive, there are whole dimensions of reality that we can't sense. (Think ultraviolet, gravity etc)

    Font - rory @roryisconfused Normal, classic, full-fat Coca-Cola is healthier than any other kind of coke. And not only this, but it is in some senses actually good for you. It restores mana, stamina, HP or something, you can actively feel it do so

    Font - A Quantum Mechanist @fizziksBoris Personhood over a period of time is an illusion. You are you at this moment but the person you identify with from the previous moment was not you - they just had nearly all of your memories, and the person you will were 10 years ago might as well have been someone else.

    Font - Aint Nobody Coming To See You O... @zoraslovechild Water carries a lot. Praying or doing spiritual work in the water intensifies it, especially in places with ties to African Traditional religions. Sea port cities are known to have more spiritual connection because it is near water.

    Font - will @VermintyFresh There are too many shared myths among cultures that had no contact that either some myths existed in prehistory and were passed on through oral traditions OR dragons/vampires/werewolves are based on actual things that existed.

    Font - Kairy Luminess @Scaredmess Robots and machines have semblance of consciousness. Just sort of if you show a machine kindness it will return it, if you show it spite it will return it in it's own way from breaking down to running longer than it should
