They all seem to have something in common, so I think this psychological designation is as good as any other.

peachyone - My question begs yours. I happen to agree with you.

Chris D - the probability of life elsewhere in the universe is high. The probability of them traveling here is low. The probability of them traveling here, staying secret, abducting people and conducting experiments on them is *extremely* low.

whisper2roar - wanting to believe in something is fine, but desire alone isn't enough to make them exist. Someone believing in things like faeries because they want them to exist but in the absence of any evidence of such existence is what I would call a person with a fantasy-prone personality.

This may offend some, but I don't think they are any more "fantasy-prone" personalities than some people who believe in God/Gods. They all believe they have proof of things which may have no tangible proof, and take their belief on faith.

I wouldn't lump all of those into the same category. For instance, UFO abduction isn't all that far fetched to me. I think it's silly to believe that as vast the universe is that there are no other beings that will a) exist and b) be able to travel through space to get to us.

Nope. Just great imaginations and humility (because we like to believe that there are things out there that we don't know about). Fantasy-prone means to me that you tend to "go off into other worlds". I believe in some of these things and want to believe in others and I think they are "of this world."

Does that include witchcraft, tire-burning, demon-summoning and devil-worship. If not so I am fine.
NO!
They do not, they just are fat-gits who read books all the time hoping the dark-master won't catch them.
But he takes them by the rat tale! SQUEAK!

No, too many differences. Just go to a message board about any of those topics and watch the fireworks fly! People just have different beliefs and different life experiences. It shouldn't be any big deal.
I love how you spelled fairies! :) Very cool! :)

Or else they could be wanting to get rich with a hoax, which happens fairly often!

mm, i see your point: because they have a fantasy-prone personality, they believe in all that stuff.
but, what if.. they have a fantasy-prone personality because they were meant to believe in that stuff?
