[... Provided he hadn't dug that out of Jon's head. He's sort of hoping the other man hasn't.]
We don't have a particularly extensive supernatural presence in my world, either. [Didn't used to.] The nature of my work means I actively sought encounters and information on it. The majority of people have no idea it exists and think it's complete rubbish. They're likely safer thinking that. A small number of people might have brushes with paranormal activity without realizing it, an even smaller percentage of that would have what I might consider Statement-worthy experiences. We have tens of thousands of Statements in my archive at home. I would be surprised if even 5% of them were genuine experiences and not the work of drugs, alcohol, stress, pettiness, or mental illness.
I'm sure you must have people in your world who believe in the paranormal and have not a shred of connection to anything genuinely strange. Charlatans, conspiracy theorists, and the like.
