This idea of an original experience tainting and causing us to mis read future events was also echoed oddly in a program i watched about UFO's this afternoon. The shows team visited a man who showed them quickly two " UFO's " which were immediately debunked as house lights through the trees. How could a man be so gullible ? Eventually hypnosis revealed he believed he had been abducted as a teenager, or so he believed. So a nut case then ? Only when the team themselves saw lights did they suddenly have to back track and say he may have a point that something odd was going on.
It is so easy to see " spooks " at every turn once your mindset has been, er... set. I remember watching something on line about Boleskine house on the shore of Scotlands Loch Ness. This house was famously bought for magick experiments by Aliester Crowley. The present owner was not a believer in the occult but said the " house does a rather good job of rising to peoples expectations " Its not so simple as true or false.
This draws me to the saying "grinding the wheat from the chaff " We cant write off a debunked example from a person ,or let it corrupt every example they give. We must grind the corn for our selves !
