I heard Alan on Ghostly Talk. Yes I am one of the lurkers who listens to it either via podcast or via online. It made me sad. And I really had to think everything through a bit before saying anything.
I joined this website because I have always been haunted. I can not remember a time when I wasn't. At this point in my life, I think it would be lonely to not be.
I want to understand why and what and I have so many questions. I have so many questions that I do not even know every question I have. One thing leads to another thing....and so on and so on.
Even with the paranormal being more mainstream..it is something not discussed so much in the first person. Especially in very conservative environments. Being haunted is what being gay was 20 to 30 years ago. lol
I joined because I wanted to learn. I want to hear theories and brush them up against my experiences. And think things through. It is nice to know that I am not the only one.
I did spend a couple of months not logging in not because of anything here. No one has been anything but sweet to me. I just had something I was dealing with in my life.
So as someone coming in kind of new to everything here, I wanted to say don't give up Alan. I have seen lots of good, very sweet people here in my lurking.
Thank you all for how very nice you have all been.
