The Sad Truth of My Paranormal Belief


 
I have to admit I have been on a long hiatus. This is mainly because my believe in the paranormal and supernatural has mostly dissipated. I’ve become much more interested in the scientific reason behind things rather than turning to any metaphysical reasoning. If find this all very upsetting however because it’s fun to believe in ghosts and the unknown. I love that chill from a spooky story or being in reportedly haunted locations.

I've always considered myself a skeptic but open to the possibilities of something else out there. However in recent years I felt stupid for believing in anything outside the realm of science.   I blame people like Neil deGrasse Tyson and shows like SciShow and Vsauce for swaying me towards the side of logical thinking.

Recently for my job I needed to do some research on haunted locations and realized how much I missed it all.  I love reading about scary tales and locations that are thought to be haunted.  It’s just plain fun.  I would love to bring back the Nocturne Society web page and be involved again. But for me the veil has been lifted so it would all be for novelty and fun of the paranormal rather than the image most paranormal groups try to project of hard researchers looking for answers.  Frankly that is one of the things that drove me away.

Paranormal research groups are always so hilarious.  They talk about hauntings like they can categorize them, “This is a residual haunting. This is an intelligent haunting. Ghosts are usually the result of unsolved business or a tragic event.”  It’s all such crap.  Nobody has proven anything at all.  So these “rules” they come up with are all made up bullshit that is accepted as facts.  But there are no facts…..at all.  There is no proof……at all.  The paranormal is all creepy feelings and unexplained experiences of the people reporting it.  That doesn't mean it's not fun to speculate and talk about.  But lets extinguish all scientific logic before grasping for paranormal causes.

Feedback is very welcome.
