I also believe that science can explain many other supernatural/paranormal events. I think it was in one of Anne Rice's stories that I first read about ergot. You know how in Ghost Busters their first assignment starts out in the stacks of an old library? Well, there actually is a fungus that has been found to grow on the pages of old books, and it too can cause hallucinations.
