Since I'm posting here, it's obvious I'm new to the board.
A little about me, I live in Wisconsin and am NOT looking forward to winter.
I found out about this board when I recently joined Twitter and am looking forward exchanging ideas and learning.
I have had several "paranormal" experiences in my life. I am a firm believer that a lot of experiences will eventually be explained by science that we don't quite understand and/or cannot definitively find a way to document yet. That's not saying that I don't also believe in a spiritual side of the paranormal. It's just my opinion, I understand that your mileage may vary.
I would love, LOVE, LOVE to investigate the paranormal, but with a full-time job that has me working 24hr shifts and a blended family with 5 kids I just literally don't have the time at this point in my life. I really wish I could just "join in" for a few investigations here and there with one of the groups/teams in my area to learn and experience a ghost hunt.
Ultimately I am here to learn from others, and enjoy other points of view in a respectable manner. I have been on another paranormal forum (maybe more of a "fan" site?) and was eventually so turned off that I just dropped off of it. I didn't like being demonized for having a different view on life or opinion from the dozen or so "regulars" on the board. We may not always agree, but I still would like to hear everyone's ideas and experiences. Hopefully I'm in the right place this time?
I look forward to meeting you all. If you have any questions about me, just ask...I may or may not answer them - this being the internet and all...
On a non-paranormal board I post on regularly, we require our newbies to "buy a virtual round". So what can I get you?
