I presume that many people would simply consider themselves 'open' to alternative views and the more esoteric explanations. Just as you, (and as a matter of fact, I), 'tend' toward scepticism, others tend toward acceptance. It may simply be how we are wired...*shrug*. Many people don't claim that their views are proven, just that they have had experiences that they need to deal with.

I will admit that my worldview doesn't have nearly the variety in it...but there is still LOTS to learn and explore, even for a sceptic.
