Are you including God in that statement? Because surveys have shown that a solid majority of Americans believe in God, angels, the Devil, etc... A sizeable number also believe in things like Astrology. Ghosts are also believed in by large numbers of people. Around 45% of the U.S. population believes that Creation theology (and everything else in the Old Testament) are historical facts, not religious mythology.

These things are so entrenched in our culture that many people do not categorize them as "supernatural". But by definition they are. Stiles lampshades this when Scott is skeptical about the idea of the murders in town being ritual sacrifices by pointing out that Scott is a werewolf! Scott believed in the supernatural, as it applied to him, but had to be convinced about other aspects of it.

So, it would be plausible for the townspeople to be dismissive of the possessed orchestra. But for the orchestra themselves and the audience that was in the room to all be in denial about it requires an amazing amount of rationalization.
