I personally have had too many encounters, too many things that can't be explained to not believe in them. When you can see the ghosts of people who have passed on, of people who have died decades before, it kind of makes you think. When you know something is going to happen before it does, after a while, you learn to listen. Sometimes, you're given warnings or messages for a reason, if you just stop and think.

I remember I had a dream of a bad auto accident happening to a co-worker on a Thursday night. I told her about it on Friday, and told her to be careful over the weekend. Monday came around and she looked horrible, pale as a sheet and obviously in pain. As she showed me the bruise on her belly from the seatbelt and steering column she told me that she totalled her truck that Saturday, and said she never wanted to hear another one of my dreams again. Another friend and I convinced her to go to the hospital because the bruises looked so ugly and she looked so pale. She ended up going in for emergency surgery to stop the internal bleeding that had been going on for two days. She survived, but it was a long recovery for her.

Now, while this may be turned over to coincidence, I personally don't think so. However, I do respect everyone's right to believe in their own way, be they Christian or pagan, or anything in between.
