Hello World!

After a lifetime of experiencing paranormal events, I have decided to start typing this stuff up. It's one thing to tell a story, but quite another to dig deeper, provide photographs and audio, and try to actively disprove what I have witnessed. If I do everything I can and still cannot disprove the paranormal experience, then I have evidence. Yay, evidence! It's what we're all after, isn't it?

In June of 2011, I read an article about a new paranormal group that had just been formed in the town where I live. They were looking for additional members, so I decided I would contact them. They sent me a questionnaire, which I filled out and returned. I met with them and was hired. This, to me, was something that landed in my lap. I'd never in my life sought out paranormal groups to join. I'd always done my own investigating for fun, either solo or with friends. Often, however, paranormal experiences come to me when I least expect it; when I'm at a friend's house drying my hands, when I'm out at a bar with friends and touch a piece of metal railing, or when I'm gawking at Victorian homes on the annual home tour in my town.

Most of my experiences are of an empathic nature; that is, I am able to feel the emotions of someone either now-living or deceased - emotions are energy, and sometimes energy is residual. I am sensitive to that energy.

Several of my experiences have also involved psychometry - I touched an object and immediately got a vision of a person or a place in a moment in time, and/or I felt a strong emotion tied to that object. The experiences can be overwhelming if I am not prepared for it, and sometimes it takes several minutes, even hours, to come out of an experience - to shake it, if you will.

For years I have wanted to find a way to hone my sensitivity so that it is more than a passing parlour trick. I want to be able to help people with my gift. When I saw the article for the paranormal group, I found my chance to work on honing my skills. It's been very exciting!
