A skeptic's illusions of the gaps theory.

Don't Stereotype Atheists - Beliefnet Forums: "You are explaining OBE's, the God helmet presence, and NDE's as illusions, that is that the mind is fooled. All well and good, except that you have not explained the reality that is causing the mind to be fooled. Until you do that calling something an illusion is the same smoke and mirrors the magician uses to cause the scantily clad maiden to levitate."

A little boy asked his father why the elders sat around the fire at night telling tale tales of magic and mythical beasts. His father replied, "Life is mysterious and it is certain you will encounter something strange, perhaps fierce but unexplainable; in the back of your mind will come a memory that you've heard about this before and might not fear it as much as you might, otherwise."
