Mysteries vs debunking mysteries: a study on people

I just thought of this and am interested but wan't sure how to title this subject. I find ghost, monster stories and alien/UFO theories stupid and ridiculous and even boring. However I am very entertained by these stories being debunked. Some people are more entertained by the 'fantastical' stories themselves. I am curious is there any good research or videos that explores the difference between people that like/are entertained by these stories vs people that are entertained by proving them false.

I do not think it has to do with religious vs science because most religious people I know are skeptical and not entertained by ghost stories and etc unless it specifically confirms their belief and that is just confirmation bias, which does not seem the same. And someone does need to be religious to be superstitious. I could be wrong about that assumption but that is why I would like to see some research about it.
