The Paranormal


I have always been intrigued by the paranormal, even as a young boy. The Paranormal consists of anything out of the ordinary (normality) that cannot be explained by science itself. It ranges from exterrestrials to ghosts to cryptids (creatures that are built into folklore and have numerous sightings without any proof, you can go to Matt Lamb's blog for more). For this blog I'm just going to focus in on the ghosts part of paranormality. Science cannot explain the existence of ghosts because they seem to find ways to explain them. People have believed in ghosts since the beginning of civilization. Most of the time ghosts are harmless spirits that don't do anything to hurt people accept minding their own business. The smaller portion of these cases the malevolent or demonic. These spirits will hurt people for their own fun and feed off the misfortune and pain of others. Sometimes these spirits will even possess these people's spirits and cause them to do things. Priests are then called into perform exorcisms; people have died (a.k.a. Emily Rose). Some people think that by just leaving the house in which there is a demonic entity that it will just go away. They couldn't be more wrong. These entities follow you because they are attached to your spirit and your belongings. When trying to find spirits people used EMF recorders (Electro Magnetic Field, some believe that spirits disturb Earth's electromagnetic field), voice recorders (when spirits talk, there voice usually can't be heard), and inferred cameras (spirits sometimes cannot be seen by the naked eye, but they do leave heat signatures).Ghosts have been found all over the world from Angkor Watt in Cambodia to the London Towers to the Haunted Black Forests of Germany and even the White House in Washington DC. The most haunted places in America include The Whaley House in California, The Myrtles Plantation in Louisiana, Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Kentucky, The Queen Mary in California, and the White House. As long the beliefs in the ghosts persist people will keep searching and who knows maybe they do exist.
