      I think that God exists…does that count? Other than that…the universe is so big and complex…that it is likely that something ‘else’ does exist…somewhere…

      I’m not sure…I think these things are maybe stories that are exaggerated from true stories, for example there is such a thing as zombie ants, they get infected with a fungus that turns them into ‘zombies’ and they have very strange behaviour. There are lots of other parasites that infect creatures and change their behaviour, like rabies in dogs. There is also a fly that causes bees to act like zombies, apparently researchers catch these bees in traps called ‘ZomBees’! Here’s a link for more info: http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/2012/07/24/are-zombie-bees-infiltrating-your-neighborhood/

      I think it would be more fun if they could!

      there are loads of examples in nature of crazy things like the ZomBees Nicola mentioned – they are pretty cool, and there are animals that drink blood like vampire bats.

      As far as the others go though there are some amazing animals that can glow using bioluminescent light which look magical and I can see where the inspiration for all the stories came from – but I like the idea that they came from our imagination and how strange that imagination can be.

      No, although I love ghost stories. Like Jon, I believe in god though.

      I really hope so!!
      The thing is there are so many creatures on this planet which already seem supernatural!
      Look at this Barrel-eye fish http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zoygy-8PTtU
      Its got a transparent head!! That seems pretty supernatural to me!!!

      Yeah and those mushrooms rings in the forests have got to be made by fairies! There’s no other explanation 🙂
