Not a conspiracy...just a natural 'direction' and interpretation for hard-to-fathom events. I understand perfectly why certain anecdotes would be 'made sense of' in that way. (I can even offer hypotheses about how young children might report such things.)

However, it's not that the skeptics "do not have any other hypothesis to offer"...some do...*I* do...and my guesses are, obviously, also "unprovable", although much research into brain function IS providing some indications that my guesses are certainly not just wild fantasy.
