There's the just scary.
Basic scariness is when you're told there's a tiger in the next room.
Then there's the uncanny, which is when you're told there's a ghost in the next room.

When you hear that there's a ghost, what you're afraid of is not that the ghost is going to do anything to you.
You're afraid that there are ghosts.
Wait, what?
That shakes my view of the world.

In any case, that's how you reconcile it.
Little green men is much less scary, are much less scary than little green demons.
There's no question about it.

The prosecution now, which is making the argument, obviously, that Tyler Robinson murdered Charlie Kirk, the prosecution now has some new witnesses.
Do you know who they are?
