I had never thought of it, but you're right about the seemingly supernatural villains in Scooby Doo always turning out to be humans. The only actual supernatural element to the show was Scooby himself. Maybe that explains the gang's credulity. Since they know talking animals exist, it's possible that ghosts do, too.

I always theorized that only Shaggy could understand Scooby, due to his drug intake and that the others only heard him barking

Interesting! I have not watched since childhood and cannot remember if any of the other characters ever conversed with him. Or if Shaggy even did. Did Scooby just kind of bark/say things that no one directly responded to?

Ok, now I have to re-watch some episodes to confirm my theory
