What's everyone's most embarrassing paranormal belief they're hiding from friends?

Right, we're all here because we're interested in this stuff, but let's be honest - there's something we each believe that we'd never mention down the pub. For me, it's that I genuinely think my house is haunted by my gran and she rearranges my socks so I can find matching pairs. I know it's ridiculous. But she was obsessive about laundry when she was alive and I swear it happens more when I'm stressed.

My actual friends think I'm into this for the intellectual exercise, analysing reports and debunking nonsense. They have no idea I've got a blessed crucifix hidden in my kitchen drawer or that I leave out a plate at Christmas "just in case." Come on then, what's your secret belief that would get you properly roasted if your mates found out?

Mine is that I think the Mandela Effect is actually evidence of parallel universe bleeding through rather than just collective false memory. I mention it as a joke but I genuinely believe it. My best mate would absolutely take the piss out of me if he knew I was serious.

I'm convinced my dog can sense ghosts and sometimes I believe him more than the paranormal investigators who say there's nothing in my house. But saying "my dog thinks you're haunted" to someone you're dating is a bit awkward so I keep quiet.

I secretly think the reason my football team has won nothing in 20 years is because of a curse from the old ground. I've never said this out loud but I've genuinely considered hiring someone to "cleanse" the new stadium. Would rather die than let the lads know.

The socks thing is actually sweet though! At least ghosts helping with laundry would solve half of my problems. My secret is that I think my office is haunted by a Victorian factory worker and I've named him Terry. I talk to him. Out loud. When no one else is there. 😅

I'm reading all these thinking mine's probably tame by comparison - I just genuinely believe in cryptozoology without the crypto part. Like, I think there are probably still unknown large animals hiding in remote areas, no interdimensional nonsense required. My mates would slag me off forever.
