Unexplained Mysteries Quotes

We don't work for the government. We don't carry guns. We don't chase aliens. We are a man and a woman. The similarities end there... If 'X-Files' and 'Touched by an Angel' crashed on 'Highway to Heaven,' you'd have 'Mysterious Ways.'

I like 'X-Files'-type shows with government conspiracies and extraterrestrials and all that.

Mystery is more important than knowledge.

The paranormal, you can't pick and choose. It's all or nothing.

I was a big fan of this guy named Art Bell - I don't know if you've heard of him before.

I actually was fascinated by it - more about the guys than about what they were doing.

I have had UFO experiences, and yet, at the same time, I can easily be convinced that none of it is true. It's hard to say whether or not you're a believer. I've been interested in that subject matter, like lots of people. Perhaps foolishly, I've allowed some of that stuff to creep into my music.

I do actually like to visit haunted locations.

That's, of course, the beautiful thing about science - that it's all about things we don't understand, not just the things we do understand.

There's always someone who secretly believes in myths and legends; or at least parts of them. Those are the people who will look beyond the obvious and see things in this world that are truly wonderful... But they won't say anything, even if they do.

The popularity of the paranormal, oddly enough, might even be grounds for encouragement.

It is the same appetite which drives the best of true science, and it is an appetite which true science is best qualified to satisfy.
