Just a Girl Looking for Her Ghost

Nothing excites me more than a good scary story. But, for a long time my paranormal experiences never reached further than the TV screen. It wasn’t until we began discussing these things and had an opportunity to possibly experience something real that I began to open my mind and learn about a new world. I learned that it’s not at all what I imagined.

When we started it was just a fun hobby to do with our group of friends. Murphy, my husband, and I looked forward to exploring the locations and getting to spend some time together. Of course my main goal in all of this was to encounter a ghost. The places we stay at are creepy and I’ve been put in uncomfortable situations. You wonder if what you just heard or felt was a ghost, or if it’s just the old building. I learned a lot about the way I respond in these situations and how I have a way of blocking things with my over-analyzing.

As we went on more investigations I had more and more questions. My mind wants to understand how things work. It tries to make connections in an effort to make sense of whatever it is that we are experiencing. Luckily, there are so many resources available at our fingertips. Whenever I had the chance I’d listen to a podcast on the paranormal or watch videos on YouTube; it took a lot of hunting to find the good stuff. This has helped make connections which I believe increased my understanding of the paranormal. I’m still learning and the more I do the more exciting it gets.

Being in a paranormal investigation group is a lot of work, especially outside of the actual investigation. Learning more about this field has made evidence review and general organization of the group more functional.

I now watch movies and television shows for reasons other than entertainment. Even fictional content can spark ideas you would not have dreamed of before. I’m constantly working on a project and keeping busy. One of my strongest contributions to the team is introducing crazy new thoughts that can often lead us down the most interesting rabbit holes. It’s exciting to think of where our journey might lead us.
