Anecdotal evidence

Is a large body of collected anecdotal data regarding something immaterial or “non-physical” enough to consider the existence of something probable?

Why or why not?

Nothing wrong with talking about it. However, anecdotal evidence isn't testable or verifiable. How much do you trust eye witness testimony? Sometime people see what they want to see.

It depends on the subject matter and likely probabilities considering known facts.

I do not mean to be disrespectful, but you ask questions not worth the effort to answer.
