I've studied metaphysics and the paranormal since I could read. It is human arrogance not to believe in stuff beyond what is considered "normal." But it should be clarified, I do not simply jump blindly to conclusions. I eliminate the Possible and Explainable where I can, before deducing and/or even realizing what has just been experienced is What It Is. There are times I do Simply Believe in something, based on another's experience or observation. For instance, when I lived in Montclair (New Jersey), I never personally experienced the ghost/s we had in that house, but I knew they were there, as my brother experienced her (or them). While "despite" the fact my dog and cats never raised a hair or whisker out of place during our decade-long tenure there, I did have an objective observer, who previously knew nothing about the house, also experienced something there.
I want to compile as many experiences as I've had, and those conveyed to me by friends and/or loved ones. Most of the actual dates I no longer have, from when I had this content elsewhere online. (Depending on the stories and permissions, et al), I will endevour to give credit where due, but as with certain friends with whom I've lost contact, I will make certain references without actually naming them beyond given names in most cases.
Now keep in mind not all of these stories are completely paranormal. There are one or two that are provided that demonstrate how one can mistake the ordinary for something supernatural, included not only for the adventure it was at the time, but often for their amusement aspect. But the majority of what I'll include here... are experiences that were/are unexplainable.
Your belief is not required, expected or demanded.
The paranormal exists, whether you believe in it or not...
