Does spirituality have to be spooky?

You don't think the Upper Room was a little spooky? lol I've heard and seen some get frightened by a move of God and then I've seen many cry, because they actually felt God for the first time in their lives.
My problem and, yes, I may have approached it too hard, is when we post here, as though sitting on a pew together, pointing and critiquing someone's moment of intimacy with God. If you want to tick me off, that will do it.
I came out of a boring, liturgical surrounding. Shortly after visiting a Pentecostal church, the preacher's wife began to dance. I stood watching and thinking to myself, "I knew He was real!"
You see when I was very young, we used to watch The Ten Commandments when it aired around Easter time. When Moses would come to the burning bush and God spoke to him, I would get tears in my eyes. I always knew God was that real, but until I walked into a Pentecostal Church, I never experienced it.
So, to even talk and laugh a little about someone "shuffling" on the platform from a video, that is just appalling to me.
