For centuries people have turned to superstition to explain the things they didn't understand or have the science to know about. Superstition is still around and just because we have science today doesn't mean it isn't. Many people are superstitious and fearful of what they don't know so they explain these things the best way they can. This is also the way that urban stories get started and ghost stories. The brain looks for a means to explain what it doesn't know.
