5. I think ultimately everything can be explained scientifically.

Are there things we don't understand? Sure. Does that mean there are supernatural explanations that defy the laws of physics and science in general? No.

A couple times I've had a sudden weird feeling in my shoulder. I know it was just a strange nerve/muscle interaction, but it did feel exactly as if someone had touched me there, so I can see how these beliefs start. Twice when I was pregnant with my first baby it felt like someone had jabbed me in the stomach -- from the outside in. One time it happened I was walking next to my husband and I even asked him if he had poked me for some reason. (He hadn't.) Obviously it was the baby's movement's tweaking something that gave me a weird "outside" sensation, but nerves are odd and sensations travel from the spine all over the place.
