The paranormal field is a mysterious one, full of things like the disembodied spirit (ghost) which decides to communicate
with, and haunt the living, the incredible power of the human mind and will, amazing lights (ghost lights) that appear in
the middle of no where, and other things that science can not explain. For the most part, we will try to avoid things of folklore
and concentrate on subjects that truly are supernatural phenomena. The main reason why we study the paranormal is to get closer to the truth. We want learn as much about the supernatural in order to better understand
it. Although you can find some definitions of folklore subjects in our paranormal
dictionary. Our goal is to become one of the largest resources of paranormal information
and to help keep the interest in the paranormal alive and strong.

Paranormal
Misconceptions
The subject of paranormal
phenomena has become very popular in the last 20 years. During that time many misunderstandings and rumors about the supernatural
have been adopted by many. This is due to movies, bad media, and television. Right now I would like to help clear up some
of these false beliefs.
One belief that many have about the paranormal is that most ghosts and
spirits are evil and malevolent. It is because of this misunderstanding that many people who find their homes to be haunted
flip out and rush to have them removed by some means. The truth is exactly the opposite. Most ghosts do not mean any harm.
Some do not even know they are ghosts. Only a very small percentage of ghosts are truly out to do the living any harm. If
more could except the fact that most ghosts are harmless, there would be a lot less fear when people are among the spirits
of the dead.
Another misconception is that all psychics are phonies and are just out to make
a quick buck. Even though there where many so called psychics during the beginning of spiritualism that were mostly
looking for attention and money doesn't mean that every person that claims to have psychic powers is false. That isn't
to say that you should not do your homework before spending money on one though. There still are those that are out there
that are not genuine. However, if all claiming to be psychic were not genuine, than the police would surely not use them to
solve crimes and to locate missing people. These psychics are called "psychic detectives.
Another misconception is that all cemeteries are haunted. This belief is usually adopted by young and brand new "ghost
hunters". This is not as widely spread of a rumor as others but I thought is should be addressed since many that are
new to the supernatural come to visit us a SOTP. If you are looking for a haunted cemetery it is best to do your homework
before you go out and waste your time. In other words, choose to investigate cemeteries that have long record of paranormal
activity, and not throw darts at a map.
Another silly one is where some still think that paranormal
investigators catch ghosts. That's only in the movies(at least so far). They can however aid in removing them from the
haunted location. Also, I want to stress the fact that the Ouija board is NOT a good tool to use to communicate with the dead.
Not that it doesn't work, but the fact that so many people that have messed around with Ouija boards have brought unwanted
entities into their homes. Sometimes evil entities will respond and once you let them in, it can be very difficult to remove
them. It's best to leave spiritual communication to the experienced psychic. Thanks for Reading! by Max Rodegher -Author

Did
You Know.......?
Did you know that President Abraham Lincoln had predicted his own death from dreams
he had only 10 days before his murder? His ghost has been seen in the White House on numerous occasions. Also, every April
27th, a phantom black train takes the New York Central rail line from Washington D.C. to Springfield, Illinois which is the
same route that Lincolns' funeral train traveled on April 27, 1865.
Did you know that the famous Harry
Houdini (an early Twentieth Century magician for those who didn't know) began to do mock seances to show people how fraudulent
mediums work, late in his career? Also, did you know that he died on Halloween 1926?
Did you know that Great Britain
is one of the Worlds most haunted countries and that the first official group to come together for studying the paranormal field was formed in London? This group is known as the Society for Psychical Research or the SPR.
