...gone through any rational explanation to no
avail. These experiences first inspired me to
relay them into forms of art. From illustrations
to poems, and even stories—I felt so passionate that I had to tell someone without telling someone—I knew my parents wouldn’t
believe me, and I had a feeling that my
friends wouldn’t understand. There are too
many non-believers who would maybe say it
was a mental affliction and because I was
already a loner, I left these experiences in
silence.
In time, I sought out other people who have
had similar experiences happen to them.
When I come to understand that what I had
seen and experienced wasn’t just my mind or
even just me, I found my fire to enter the paranormal field and seek out answers.
There are some studies on stress and other factors
that could possibly explain audible and even visual experiences. I certainly cannot rule out psychological
factors but I can suggest keeping a journal to make
note of everything (including your mood and the
course of your day [eg: Were you stressed?]) You can
possibly uncover a pattern and work towards a way to
understanding the experiences because ultimately,
what we should all really want is the truth behind what
is or isn’t happening.
In this journal, could we also possibly uncover a haunting? Perhaps we see a simply overtired and overstressed mind? How about an overactive imagination?
What do you believe? Are our personal experiences
really something out of the nether?

The personal experiences that many of us
have can be scary, or as mundane as spotting an entity on the side of the road but what
makes it special is how personal there really
are. While we want to offer proof of a personal experience; in most cases, it is nearly impossible to grab a camera or any other
equipment to record the event. Sometimes
we feel a touch, or even a shove! We know
what we see and what we feel. Sure, we can
argue we were half awake, or perhaps we
imagined the event entirely but something
should be said about the strong belief in the
event and how certain we become as single
witnesses of it occurring. We know how
awake we are and when we are adrift in a
reverie.
