So, why did I say "more or less"?

Because, the definition of the word paranormal simply means "Above the normal"...outside of our realm of understanding. So by its definition, Paranormal can include EVERYTHING enigmatic...UFO's, cryptids, natural phenomena, spooklights, etc.

But I think this board should be dedicated to "Paranormal" as its come to be commonly understood...Spirit Hauntings, etc.

So...right out of the box, what do you believe constitutes a haunting? Is it really earth-bound spirits? Demons doing their job of decieving? Natural phenomena we dont yet understand?

Post whatever you feel without worry of ridicule. I believe everyone has a right to their belief, and through discussing beliefs we may just find an answer someday. Plus, if anyone gets out of line or makes fun, I will personally lower the 9 pound hammer.

So post away!!!!

possession
Posted Tuesday, 09 February 2010 By Maggie
Think this is a good place to start.
Is it just me or has there been a increase of clients claiming possession??
I really think this is something that should be discussed. I have seen in 20yrs 2 possible cases that left me scratching my head. Making/forcing me to consider possible possession. As a "Demonologist" I am truelly offended by so many people claiming to be a Demonologist and know nothing about orgins of demonics in culture, they wont look or even consider the origins of the Claims. Just have yourself a old fashion exorcism?
The Catholic church has 4 things they look for 1. superhuman strenth. 2. great knowledge 3. foriegn languages they could not possibly know.
4.reaction to religious relics, ie: cross/holy water etc,. In all my work there would be only 2,people I would have considerd to possibly have this. I would love to hear your honest opinions on this subject.. Thank you.

re: posession

ummmm....boy this is a real can of worms to open. I will start by pointing something out: most cases that have been deemed "Legitimate" over the past few hundred years have almost always occurred in pre-pubescent or pubescent teens. The reason I want to point this out? What are poltergeist's almost ALWAYS centered around? Pre-Pubescent or Pubescent teens. The latter case is most well known for the "spiritual lightning rod" being teenage girls. People do not look at possession that way. But go back and do a case-study on possession. Again, the most widely accepted as legitimate have been around teenage girls.

I agree Justin, The 2 people who I personally would have thought something was going on was infact 2 females 1st, pubescent 2nd, Menopausal.
I hope one day we figure out what is causing this to find a prevention to this paranormal cases.
