I once had a funny encounter when I must have a had a very skeptical face expression during one of my friend's tirade about ghosts or something, and he asked me "так вы не верите в энергетику" and my response was a blank stare as I completely didn't get what he meant — I asked "you mean electric poles, plants?!" as the use of the term "энергетика" in the esoteric sense was completely foreign to me.
