Paranormal...Hmm *scratches head* I think it means things that humans can not explain.There is so much evidence that it indeed exists - I find it facinating myself and I think everyone has had at least one experience that they cannot explain

Very true!! I can't agree more! I believe most people have had at least one experience in their life that was unexplained. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Not that it's a bad thing, but there seems to be alot of overlap in topics here at Bella pertaining to the Paranormal.

So many people think the Paranormal Topic denotes ghosts only.

It's kind of hard not to step on toes, I hope most people understand that my overlap (of horror movies, witchcraft, folklore, and a few other topcis) is not intentional. <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I have had a couple of things happen that I cannot explain - the most recent being my husband and I dreaming of very similar things on the same night and when I was 17 I was lucky enough to have an out of body experience but it has not happened since.

Danielle,
I dont think anyone minds overlapping topics. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> I have posted in a lot of channles? <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />i dont know what else to call them but every one seems nice and happy to have me post... <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> which is kinda paranormal scence i am going research on different religians and I am Chirstian and posting in a Wicca site!!! <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />But I like when people are happy to answer Questions and dont mind if im differnt <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />!!!! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'd be more inclined to think that a few folks on related sites have set links to the topic rather than the results being pure search engine finds.

I've been an editor here for four years, and that's the only way I've seen such a landslide. Posted to TheOneRing.Net a few years back about LOTR actors getting tattooed and it brought 70,000 hits to an article in three days.

I've PM'd you Danielle on the overlap question <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hi Danielle,

I wondered about this too with my folklore site. Folklore spills over into religion, new age, inspiration, paranormal, culture and society, even herbs and gardening... after all, where would folklore be without all of those <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It's kind of true, think about it.... anything NOT explained by science....

and yet there are people out there...that protest anything paranormal as being false or [url=BellaOnline ALERT: For anti-spam reasons, we restrict the number of URLs allowed in a given post. You have exceeded our maximum number of URLs.
