One time I did, only once, 10 years ago. It was a call from the fire department, a lady in her 50’s (so a bit early for onset dementia) with no mental health or substance abuse history went screaming to her neighbor’s home for support
She claimed she was watching a religious tv channel as she usually does that time of night, and all of a sudden a picture on her wall moved/tilted over and a lamp fell over. She was too terrified to go back in and was insisting that myself or the fire department people make sure whatever it was, was gone. She was picked up by her family and went to stay with them that night, and as much as I wanted to check it out, we didn’t go in because we’d be in there alone and that isn’t something you generally want to do to even with permission to protect against any possible accusations of theft
But from someone who looks like they’ve been using meth for the past 10+ tears? Or someone at the age for onset of a psychotic DO, no I do not believe them that what they are experiencing is supernatural. But that’s delicate to explain to them. I tell them I believe that they are truly experiencing seeing or hearing what they say they are experiencing
