Reincarnation. Not in a religious sort of way though. If I can be conscious of the body I'm currently possessing (or controlling) than who's to say I wasn't in a similar position with another body in the past and/or won't be in the future? I believe the reason you can't remember past lives is actually pretty simple to explain too: Hardware. I very well could have lived as Edgar Alan Poe in a past life and, Lon Chaney sr. after him but I have no way of knowing because I don't possess either of their brains where such things as memories and experiences are stored. If I am a soul that travels to different bodies after the host dies then it would make sense that I wouldn't keep the memories with me, just as I haven't taken any of Poe's or, Chaney's other features (or any I'm aware of anyway). It could be that once a body dies, its soul returns to a sort of ethereal cloud before being reabsorbed into another host body which could occur at any point from conception to, early childhood/infancy.
One more: I believe that every fictional universe created by Man is an actual one we are merely unable to get to. We are a pocket-dimension that exists alongside others such as that Marvel and, DC universes to name two (of the millions) but they can't directly interact with ours in any way more significant than how they already do (ie: inspiring the artists, storytellers, etc of tomorrow.)

I believe in monsters... though it's less a "can't prove" thing and more a looser definition of "monster"
I believe that the difference between monster and, animal is discovery. I mean take this as an example:
If that were to have been described to a person 50 years ago, it could have easily been turned into a monster movie. Although upon reflection, you may mean something slightly different then what I bring up...either way, isn't the Vampire Octopus awesome!
