However, those who utilise Facebook and other social media platforms to support their paranormal claims have an impact on you.  Some may argue that you have been influenced by their claims and stories.

 

How would they if I never read them? I wouldn't bother.

Most of the stories in online news articles are lifted straight from social media, we have read many on here that have come from Facebook or some other social media site.  You don't need to go to any of these sites for them to infiltrate your life.  And if you have believed just one of those stories you have been influenced by a social media post.

I don't know what you are getting at but I have had enough paranormal experiences of my own to look back on and they keep occurring. So you are implying I read something then imagined my stuff, lol. Yeah, no. I've had 50 years of this, I have no doubt whatsoever but thanks for the opinion or attempted explanation.

What I am saying is if you have believed any of the stories you have read that have been taken directly from a social media site then you have been influenced by social media.

Ok, I get you and agree but I personally don't really believe any stories and don't expect anyone else to.

One in five? Hard to believe.
