I have an admittedly dichotomous viewpoint on this topic. I am (or like to think I am) a logical and level headed person who looks at everything from both sides and weighs the evidence.
To steal a phrase from Andy (Moynihan) I am a militant agnostic, thinking ridiculous the idea of an invisible, all powerful, being who created the entire universe so we could worship how cool he is. As you can't prove a negative, I can't prove he doesn't exist tho', which is why I'm technically agnostic rather than atheist.
However, undermining that position is the fact that I quite openly agree that we know all too little about how the universe is actually put together and that all manner of phenomenon occur that we can put no explanation to (... yet).
I usually don't choose to talk about it a lot in 'open' fora but some people here know that I have experienced for myself a wide variety of occurrences and events that are inexplicable at present. I put a lot of them down to misinterpreted 'information' but some are not so easily dismissed.
So, getting to the point in the end {
}, the legends of giants, vampires, werewolves and their ilk have their roots in something. They're not all just modern inventions of 'tale tellers'. I'm less likely, oddly enough, to believe in a Bram Stoker Vampire than I am a 'prescence' (as I've experienced one and not the other) but until we can pin down something tangible about either I try to keep an eye out for evidence either way.
