Welcome to My Paranormal Journal

I have created this blog independent from my family blog where I explore and chronicle my journey and adventure into the paranormal world. For anyone who is a new visitor here, I have copied over all of my posts regarding the paranormal and you can find them listed below in chronological order.

I am excited to announce that I have been accepted as a new trainee investigator with OKPRI, the paranormal investigators that checked out my house.

Why, might you ask? Good question. I've grappled with it back and forth. I'm not into scary thrills, I don't do scary movies AT ALL and certain entities that I believe to exist in the spirit world scare the living shit outta me. Demons, for instance. I don't want to meet any of those. Or minions. Supposedly non-human entities that are complete negative energy forces, but not demonic. And yes, over the course of 8 years this group has encountered both of those... but they're pretty rare to come across.

Which is good to know that it's an experienced team and they know what they're dealing with. I also like the fact that the leader of the group is a medium and clairvoyant who can pick up in a short amount of time exactly what we're getting into. She's also trained in spiritual protection methods and does things to keep herself and the entire group protected. We also have a Shaman in the group - a man who is a trained Indian medicine man.

I don't know a whole lot about Indian medicine or spiritual protection powers - have heard of them and can't dismiss them altogether because for one, as I get older I realize there's more and more I really don't know. So for me, this will be a fascinating learning experience.

The main reason is my firm belief due to personal experiences that there is life after death, that we as humans survive death. I've believed this for a long time from a Christian standpoint, but I must say, it's completely awesome to get direct confirmation of that. It strengthens my faith. I'm still not sure about the whole heaven and hell realms and how that fits into earthbound spirits, so I have a whole chest full of unanswered questions. I also realize all of those questions will most likely not be answered because I also think that we, as humans, are not ready to learn these answers nor would we be able to comprehend them if we did.

Bottom line is it fascinates me. It boggles my mind. It stirs up a passion to learn as much as I can, but with caution because let's face it, there are dangers out there also - real ones.

During the interview meeting last night one of the investigators asked me how I would respond to being at a location and feeling a touch, an arm clasp, a brush on the shoulder - from an entity. They realize I'm basically a scaredy-cat and they can't afford to have anyone hysterical on their team. I was honest and told them I'm 75% sure I could keep myself from completely wigging out. Yes, I would probably jump - yes, I would probably utter something loudly like "Holy shit!" Or "What the hell?" Because - I know me, and that's probably what I'd do - but I couldn't be certain how I would respond because I've never been in that situation before. I just assured them that I would do my best to stay as calm as possible. However, after a few investigations if it was just creeping me out too much to where I was losing sleep or becoming fearful all of the time - then I would bow out gracefully.

Lo and behold, when I returned home late last night I was standing in my closet removing my clothes and changing into a sleep shirt. I was standing there in my panties, holding my sleep shirt in front of me to get it right so I could slip my arms into it and over my head when I felt a touch - from the middle of my back and it ran up my spine about 3 or 4 inches. It wasn't entirely cold, but not warm - I guess a "cool" touch would be the best way to describe it. Not wide either - not like palm width, more like a finger - just trailing up my spine a bit. My hair is not long enough to have brushed the middle of my back. I did not have my back to anything - it's a large walk-in and I was in the middle of it. I immediately spun around and said "What the hell was that?" And to my surprise, I had a moment of fear that quickly turned to being pissed off and I called out "Whoever the fuck it was that touched me, you better stop that shit right now! Or so help me, God, I will get people over here to get rid of you." Then I put my shirt on - mumbled more profanities to the thing that touched me - probably David, and went to bed. And slept peacefully.

I am going to explore recording my own EVP's next week and will try to post daily about my experiments.
