3. Her Fascination with the Supernatural

Phoebe Buffay believes in supernatural things; this somehow makes her very different from the rest. She never doubts that her mom came back as a cat; she talked so much about her "spiritual" experiences. Phoebe believes in ghosts, auras, and even spirit possessions. Her mystical view of the world is often in conflict with her friends' more down-to-earth beliefs, but it's obvious she means it, and this makes her a strange and compelling character to watch.
