How to Understand Paranormal Activity

When something happens that you can’t explain it is not always easy to admit it could be paranormal activity - unless, of course, you already believe! When you are attending an investigation and doing the night-time vigils the senses are naturally heightened because of the darkness and the imagination can easily take over. Did you hear something, see something sense something? Or is the darkness playing tricks?

First of all, give yourself a few minutes to get used to the darkness, allowing your senses to tune in and adjust to these changed conditions. Of course, in the dark it is much easier to see any light anomalies or orbs, although these can sometimes be just flying insects or dust. However, if they move in an irregular or sporadic way then it is not so easy to discount these and they could be orbs which, it is thought, are the beginnings of a manifestation of a spirit being. Noises such as taps or bangs or audible sighs and moans are often not so easily explainable and have sent many an investigator running and screaming! Being touched by spirit can be anything from the merest brush, hardly even detected, to an actual push. However, sensing paranormal activity close by can be a most exciting thing and should be enjoyed as, on the whole, spirit does not want to frighten or harm their visitors. Closeness can be confirmed by feelings of dizziness or sickness and, in the extreme, headaches, but all of these conditions soon fade and there should be no long term effects. Changes in temperature, particularly sharp drops, are another way of sensing paranormal activity.

If you find yourself having strange, unexplained thoughts, especially if a name keeps popping into your head then say it out loud so that the rest of your group can confirm if they are having the same thoughts. Also, by saying the name aloud you are letting spirit know they have succeeded in communicating with you and are far more likely to give additional information. Paranormal activity is something to be embraced like an old friend and you should feel honoured that spirit have chosen you to come close to. The more you open yourself up to this contact the greater will be your enjoyment. However, be aware that not all spirits are friendly - but that is topic covered elsewhere in more detail.
