think we need to clear up the definitions here. You are mixing up 'mystical' with 'mysterious' or 'unproven.'The word mystical comes from the Greek mystikos, meaning a secret spiritual or divine power. Wind, cold weather, and avalanches are physical, natural phenomena. Even if you think the avalanche theory is imaginary, that makes it a disputed hypothesis—not a mystical theory. There is nothing spiritual about freezing to death.

Well, actually, mystical can be considered to be beyond human understanding. And the same applies to mysterious. The avalanche theory is not imaginary its a real theory, but I don't subscribe to it. And spiritual is also beyond understanding if it relates to non-physical things.
