Do you have to experience the supernatural before believing it?

I haven't yet had any supernatural experience (i.e. seen or felt any ghost/supernatural creatures) and I don't even have the courage to ghost hunt or play "spirit of the glass". I am having a hard time believing in ghost stories as I always think that there must be some logical explanation to all these stories that we haven't learned yet. And yet there are accounts of these experiences throughout history.
What do you think mylotters? Do you really have to experience these supernatural things before believing?

I don't have to, except to sense divine proofs, like there's God's name on your hand and also on your palm which makes perfect number: 9.

I have an open mind. I do beleive that anything is possible.
however there are a lot of paranormal phenomena that I consider to be unlikely, and if I experience otherwise, then that will change my mind
there are things I thought unlikely that I believe in now after first hand experience.
things like ghosts, hauntings, evp, channeling of spirits and so on I have no trouble believing in, and I've experienced them many times.
things like premonitions, I'm more wary about, but I have experienced them, and I do believe they're possible, just rarer than some people would have us believe.
things like alien abduction I find very unlikely. this isn't to say that I find life on other planets unlikely. far from it. when you look at the night sky you'd have to be really arrogant to think that not one of those stars can possibly have an orbiting planet that supports life as rich and diverse as our own planet. but I don't think they'd be concerned with coming here and sticking things up rednecks bums.
things like indigo and crystal children, I think is just a theory driven by the fact that every parent thinks their child is special, and because they think they're so special they think they must be different to other children. without realising that all parents find their own child to be that special. and often it's parents of children that are autistic or disabled, and I think in those cases it's a rather desparate attempt to explain to themselves why their child is different, in a way that isn't as harsh to deal with as being dealt an unfortunate hand by nature.
so. I like to describe myself as open minded, but not so open minded that my brain falls out.
