My Passion

My passion is the unknown. I like to know about the unnatural: aliens, cryptids, ghosts. I strive to learn all i can about these different things. Skeptics say these anomolies can not exist. I say that all the stories these things are beased on must be based on truth. How could all these different things be just made up? Some things, like aliens, would almost have to be a scientific probability. If space is infinite, then there has to be at least one other planet that can sustain life. In my lifetime, i would like at least one of these alleged myths to be found to be real.
