C'mon. You ask people for their personal experiences, including danny's, but when he finally tells you what you want, it's "Yeah yeah. Thanks for the story, anyway"?

I don't doubt that what danny saw and felt was real. True, perhaps the "ghost" or "evil spirit" was not objectively present by any measure, but nevertheless, the fear that he and Peeples' family felt was surely real. Are you telling him that what he *experienced* never happened?

So I'm not so sure you're requesting "extraordinary examples" of the supernatural, as you are expressing a desire for Transcendence over the banality of the mundane. But what do I know? I tend to find that examples of miracles abound all over... in the rosy warmth of the sun at dawn, in the soft touch of a child's hand, even in the shimmering coating of ice that coats the tree branches in the winter. These aren't "supernatural," but they're still magical. Brunnen-G's description of that movie theatre (in "Atmosphere, atmosphere") was of similar nature. There are any number of people who would've looked at that theatre with jaded eyes and called it the ultimate "deprepit piece of ratty crap." How we see things determines the experience of how we interact with the world.
