Something Odd...

I agree Nash,seems we have so many astral projection capable people but at the same time all our other fields are non comparable to the sheer volume of these peoples abilities.

As Awake said astral projection is something possible and the comparison between this term to fluffs like werewolves,vampires,etc should not be done.

As for people who claim the are able to do things that are not possible or logical through magic or other categories is very true. There will always be people who lie, as in real life. People always give out false information about themselves to change what the actually are, there are plenty of reasons for their behavior such as: Immaturity, trollish and bad intentions, the will to get attention from other people, smudge the truth, etc.
It is the same thing about people who lie about being able to do things that can be actually offered by witchcraft or other categories, this is just the human nature to lie about such things to impress people and to get other things from it as I said before.

I always say: "Do not judge a book by its cover, but by the content".
You should not just believe to everything that people tell you, do not get upset after you realize that a person has been telling you wrong information about himself, this is just pointless. Try to draw your conclusions about the person by: observing him and trying to see how mature he is, how much knowledge and experience he has about some stuff, how he behaves and acts in several cases.

Posers will be found everywhere, in real life as well, you just have to know what to do and how to deal with them. It is also important to know how to tell the difference between posers and people who tell the truth. Just keep being smart and open your eyes.
