Does anyone enjoy reading or studying paranormal psychology or am I the only one?

I love it. Have over 20 books on the subject, and still want more! Do you have any good book suggestions ?

I am a Paranormal Investigator, so I've definatley had experiences in that capacity.  I also grew up in a house that had some strange "goings on."\n\nHere are just a few of my experiences:\n\n** When I was a little girl my bedroom was downstairs by the staircase going up.  I hated to sleep with the bedroom door open because I would hear strange noises coming from the kitchen and the staircase.  I made my Mom move my bed to the wall opposite the staircase because I would swear that something was standing on the stairs and trying to reach through the wall to get me.  Granted, I was 6 years old at the time.  But I remember very clearly one night in particular.  I was deeply asleep when the bed started to shake.  I woke up and yanked the covers over my head.  I lifted up a corner to glance out and saw a black hand reach up towards me.  The hand put one finger at a time on my blanket until four long, pointy black fingers were within inches of my nose.  I was so scared I couldn't even breathe.  Suddenly the hand yanks on the covers.  I yanked back and screamed with all my might.  My parents came running and finding me sitting up and screaming for help, tried to convince me I had a nightmare.  To this day I don't know if it really happened, but even just thinking about it gives me the willies.\n\n** When I was about 17 my parents went away over night.  I was in command of the house for a full 48 hours and was thrilled.  I borrowed a bunch of movies, popped some popcorn, and settled in for a night of relaxation.  Halfway into the first movie I heard a strange scraping noise coming from the front window.  I turned my head and watched in horror as the window slowly opened.  My rational self was telling me the window was unlocked and probably warped, so not to worry.  My rational self quickly gave up that opinion when the window slammed shut very quickly.  My reaction probably would have been funny had someone been around to see it.\n\n** One night at my aunt's house, at least 9 of my family members and I were sitting around the dining room table playing Taboo!, which is an extremely loud game to play.  Suddenly all of us became quiet at the same time.  Footsteps could be clearly heard from the floor above us, but everyone in the house was around the table.  Somehow I was elected to go check it out.  As I'm walking up the steps a blast of cold air comes by me and the bathroom door at the top of the stairs slams closed.\n\n** While staying over night in a haunted B&B with several fellow investigators, my roomie and I very clearly heard the sound of snoring in the room.  We walked around to every room in the building, but could not find the source of the snoring.  Once back in the room the snoring ghost continued to keep us company for several minutes.\n\n** During the course of a paranormal investigation of a private residence I said to the homeowners, "We haven't been able to find anything yet tonight."  Immediately after that we heard several loud bangs on the ceiling over our heads.  We were on the second floor and everyone in the house was within my line of sight.

Yes. It happens all the time. Spirits are funny things. it's hard to know why they do what they do. Sometimes I think that it's like a master/pet relationship, excepts I can't figure out who's the master and who's the pet.\n\nIt's actually handy to have spirits around that you are comfortable with and have a good working relationship with because if some negative spirit comes around, you can just ask your friendly spirits to deal with it, and they do, quickly. Otherwise, without friendly spirits, you have to do a cleansing, and spiritual guidance work, and more cleansing -- much more of a hassle.\n\nThe previous answers make me giggle. I have had so many paranormal experiences that to me it seems naive to NOT believe

Oh! How fun! I have been on a couple excursions with some friends of mine. Start up convos easing in on the belief of ghosts with some people and see If they want to check out some of the local "haunts" in your area. Look up places on the internet...Its possible to find others who won't think you're weird.

I am a paranormal investigator.  And while there are a few graveyards with the reputation of being haunted, it is rare.  If you were a ghost, wouldn't you find a graveyard a boring place to hang out? My wife and I investigated a very old and large graveyard in our town and came away from it with a feeling of great peace and respect for those that had passed on and were buried there.  Nothing scary at all.  I'm sure you have nothing to worry about.  Rest In Peace!

I recently started doing paranormal investigations.  I have plenty of EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) recorded.  On these recordings I've heard kids laughing, moans, whispers and clear phrases.  These include:  "Go back", "Interesting" and "Can you hear that?".\n\nI've seen a cat run across my bedroom several times.  One night, I saw a bright light move left to right.  It then turned and went down towards the floor then disappeared.  It was bright but didn't light up the room at all.  One day I saw a large drop of water fall from the bathroom ceiling into a bowl that was in the middle of the tub.  I even heard it land and saw ripples.  There was no sign of water on the ceiling and the bowl was nowhere near the faucet.  \n\nMy 2 yr old son saw what he called a "ghost dog" in my bedroom.  He ran and hid under my covers for quite some time.  My daughter saw a bearded man in army fatigues and a little girl in a white dress.

I’m an amateur ghost hunter myself. It helps that I grew up around ghosts in my childhood home and in my Grandmother’s house. So, even though stuff would happen all the time, I was kind of used to it. Until my brother took it upon himself to explain to me what a ghost really was and I spent several months when I was 8 years old hiding under the blankets. Thanks for that, Bro. Now, I chase spirits and accidentally let a woman ghost into the house. Which my mother just loves me for...

Sure, I am a paranormal investigator and I visit haunted places all the time. \n\nMost stories like that are merely Legends and not actually what happens. \n\nThat does not mean there is not paranormal activity there, but I doubt you will actually see that the way the legend describes, but I say go and check it out and it it does happen congratulations.\n\nNot everyone can see ghosts, and most of the paranormal investigators out there have never seen a ghost, but have experienced things of a paranormal nature. \n\nI believe in ghosts because I have seen two, but those two are the only ones I have seen and spoken to, but I have had many other experiences with the paranormal.

I think Loren Coleman is great. I've read his books and I've seen and heard numerous interviews. He has some very neat stories to tell :0) Check out his interview on www.ghostlytalk.com!

Absolutely!  There are a lot of things that go on around us that we have no explanations for.  Science can only answer so much, but there are certain occurances that have no explanation.\n\nFor me, paranormal means "our of the ordinary", so it includes alien encounters, spiritual encounters, and other odd, but natural, phenomena.  \n\nFrom personal experience, I know that the Paranormal exists!

i do, to an extent. have you ever watched Ghost Whisperer? on friday nights? well it's a show where there's a girl that can see people's spirits and all of them have something that they need to achieve before they can "cross over"... she finds a way to help him/her achieve this and then they leave. \n\ni think that that is the way it happens. when a person is too stressed out about something when they die, their spirit will stay until the stress goes away.\n\ni think that there is a chance that there are other people out there (aliens) but i dont believe that we'll ever meet them. \n\nmajic totally confuses me. i do not understand it at all, therefore i dont have an opinion on it. i do believe that some people have the ability to do majic, but i have no clue how or why.\n\nlove ya andrew!\n\np.s i could have sworn that when i was at my great grandma's house i saw my grandma's dog (dobbers) looking at me (he died)... totally freaked me out!!!!

My understanding is that you are asking if other people out there are having paranormal experiences. So you're having unexplained things happening to you? My friend at work had a problem with some mild poltergeist activity in her home. But it did stop when she moved house. Its a fascinating subject. At times it gets even the best of skeptics flummoxed. I even know of another person who have problems with electrical items, computers, etc. She is a medium/clairvoyant/healer and its not much fun for her when things go faulty when she's using elecrics. Don't have to believe me, but I do see it happening.

I lived with a ghost for around 4 months before it became too violent for me..and I had to leave..There were many occurances every day..and night..and I thought it to be rather "cool" living with a ghost..I woke up one night and actually saw an apparition at the bottom of my bed...\nIt was not long after that..the violence began..and I got outta there.. I have ended up back to that very house 4 times since I moved very far away..and of those 4 times  ending up back there..none was my doing......and for each time..the vehicle I was a passanger in died..the engine just stopped..as soon as we began proceeding down the same block as the house...\nParanormal is all around us...Many look at it differently because we cannot explain it...so..it is considered by many as phoney and non-real..people are scared of what they cannot understand..but..from my experiences in this life time..I can assure you...it is all REAL..life certainly is full of endless surprises..just waiting to be found out.

Sure do... I am 71 and during my married life for 18 years... my family and I (3 kids/husband) lived in a haunted house.  I , and my son and one daughter saw the visiting kind spirit.  And again, yes I am very close and connected to my guardian angels. Many things have been done due to the help of my guardian angels... Yes I am somewhat psychic but I am an Intuitive psychic... I just KNOW when something is true, right or about to happen... I cannot predict futures... but I can see auras... I was sitting with my sister, and my other psychic girl friend who had a friend from England visiting and we were sitting around a card table playing card... and I got the strongest urge to put my hand on the girl from England (that I just met that night) and then to stand up and take her out of her chair and give her a hug... and I kept drawing my hand back and my other psychic friend said... looking at me..."go ahead and so it (name)"  I did the act... and stood her up and gave her a warm long hug.  After it was done, my psychic friend said that her England friend's mother was standing behind my chair... as she had died just about 8 weeks before the friend came from England on this visit and the mother wanted to hug her daughter one more time... and she was passing that idea thru me to sense and act upon for her...so I did...  But my continuous interactions are with my Guardian angels... so much so, that I have named them... and I talk to them occasionally... and I get help from them... OFTEN!

Try electric fields, energy fields, bio-chemistry and genetics. Excellent research material, isn't it? If that doesn't satisfy, maybe, try out psychology and also positive uses of psychic energy.
