well i was brought up as a Christian, and i always believed in spirits but for me to believe in them.I had my first experience when i was 5 yrs-old. after my grandmother had passed, and for me to become a paranormal investigator i had another experience about a couple yrs after my other granbdmother had past, she came to visit me, and also what got me interested in Ghosts,spirits etc, is that my dad saw his mothers Crisis apparition before she left. but as for being a Christian i have my own beliefs and that is the Paranormal and i have my own mine to believe after the experiences that i had that i couldn't explain. so thats what i think and feel. and that my opinion about religion is that they like to push things on you to make you believe that there isn't sutch things as ghosts. but everyone is intitled to their own opinions.but i do belive in angels, demons,arch-angels but for me they are here to watch over us and to protect us but it also has to see how strong ur faith is too.
