Forgive me if this has been done before. If it hasn't, I'll gladly take the initiative.
I've seen many a time on here people discussing things pertaining to the paranormal/supernatural/whatever-you-like-to-call-it. I figure this thread could be a good way to meet other paranormal enthusiasts on the board, trade stories, and possibly get/give advice for problems pertaining to things of the not normal variety. I'll start things off by giving a little bit of info about myself:
My first encounter with the paranormal happened when I was 5. At the time, we were living on the base in Ft. Lewis, Washington. It was...well, I don't know what time it actually was. I didn't have a clock in my room. It was late enough, though, that it was quite dark except for the moon outside. However, even then something felt different. I felt like there was someone else in the room besides my sister, who I shared a room with at the time. I glanced over to the wall and saw a very distinct, very human-shaped shadow there.
I don't know if maybe I was too young to really be freaked out by it, or if I somehow knew it wasn't going to hurt me, but I just watched it and tried to talk to it. When it didn't answer back, I just went back to sleep.
For the next several years, I never really saw anything again. I often felt as though something was there, but never saw what it was. It wasn't until the past couple years that my gift, which is largely emotion based (read: I have very low-grade empathic abilities) has started to show itself again.
As of right now, I still cannot see things physically. If given enough time, though, I can get small details about something I'm trying to read. Sometimes it's a name, sometimes it's what they look like. It depends on if they want to give me those hints or not. Sometimes they don't, and I'm not in the habit of forcing them to do otherwise.
There is something, besides physically hearing and seeing spirits, that I'm not quite so good at- Getting rid of particularly strong nasties that infiltrate my house.
