par·a·nor·mal; adjective; denoting events or phenomena such as telekinesis or clairvoyance that are beyond the scope of normal scientific understanding. The term paranormal is used to describe a plethora of strange occurrences in the world.(milwaukeeparanormal) When we die, we can leave behind our spirits to haunt the places we once loved while alive. Certain people with magic like gifts can detect the ghosts are there and even speak to them . There is a lot we don't understand about the paranormal world, but with open minds I feel we could learn a lot.
Strange occurrences happen on a daily basis. Odd items falling out of the sky and reported sightings of Angel-like beings floating in the sky. In Quirindi, New South Wales, Australia there was reportings of a thin substance called Angel Hair falling out of the sky. After the fibers fell, Angels were reportedly seen in the sky. "Angel's hair has been compared to ectoplasm, a substance which spiritualists claim to be involved in materialization of spirits." (ufocasebook) People could question whether or not these were actual spirits or just tricks of the light.
Hauntings are probably one of the most well known types of paranormal phenomena in the world. Hauntings are a lot like snowflakes, no two are the same. Usually when a haunting occurs the spirit that has been left behind has unfinished business or is too scared of moving on. The most common type of haunting is called a residual haunting. During a residual haunting it's kind of like energy of the spirit being replayed over and over again, it cannot interact with a human like a spirit of an intelligent haunting can. There are many reasons why the spirit has stayed behind, they could have died in a tragic accident and are confused on what has happened to them or they need to say goodbye to somebody to fully move on. Usually during these types of hauntings the spirit will move objects, slam doors, and do anything to get your attention. Their intention is not to scare you, but to contact you to understand what's going on with them. Sometimes people with gifts can contact these spirits to help them move on to the afterlife.

There are many types of psychic abilities that people can have. It is not something usually learned, most gifts are born with the person. A medium can speak with the dead that still roam the earth, an empath is directly affected by others emotions, and telepaths can read other people's minds so to speak, these are just a few of the many of psychic abilities that people can have. During the 60's it was common that people who had psychic abilities were locked in mental asylums, because they were thought to be insane when in reality they just perceived things differently.

Hauntings, ghosts, and mediums are some of the most interesting things categorized under paranormal. There are so many things to discover about the paranormal, it is one large category of information. Personally, I think the paranormal is definitely a part of this world. So many people like to deny it, some people embrace it. Some psychics unintentionally cause others mental pain, others only bring goodness with them, The paranormal world is real and probably never disappear, and we just have to accept it.
