First to understand: I never have an experience in psychic ability. I never see ghost before.
We need to know and understand them, that more than a thousand years, the westerns are injure by credulity, because of domination by their religious, that used tale as tools to dominated their people minds.
So, nowadays, their culture teaching them to anti everything, that they thinking 'it is the same of my ancient religious', before deep learned.
------------------------------------
How do you, buddhist, feel, that if moreover a thousand year, your family is killed/imprison, because of opinions differ? Such as early scientists (Galileo Galilei), gays (2016 Orlando nightclub shooting), etc.
The buddhist, who have a very difference experience through 2500 years, should to look back their, the western, history. It is the reason of the question "Why they have over bias, in tales, very much".
I have been like them before I have deep learned in tipitaka and commentary. Some doctors and scholars in thailand, I even know, have been, too.
But we use our open-minds to learn everything before anti, more than use gossips. So, we choose this way ourselves by our knowledge in science, world history, abhidhamma-pali, commentary-pali, another nikaya history, another nikaya cannon, etc. We are not a hard-kamasukhallikanuyogi like them, so we have a time to do.
We also learn gossips from them, such as Twilight's reference, too. Without any bias, any laugh/angry at every ideas, we still choose the way we have chosen, after learned their gossip. We need to understand their culture, that is very difference from our culture.
Another, nowadays, buddhist cannon's translation around the world still very wrong and still having very confuse context. New language study and new culture study, also very hard, too. The hardest is behavior-changing, such as reader to be memorizer. So many reasons can let them anti tales in sutta.
P.S. The buddha and commentary denied wrong causes/effects-tale in 10 akusalakammapatha (samphappalapa).
