33: Conclusion
There are many things about the paranormal I don’t claim to understand. How or even why some of us receive impressions would be at the top of this list. Personally, I don’t believe this is any special gift that has been bestowed on only a few, but a trait we all possess when we allow ourselves to be aware of our surroundings. Living with ghosts and studying the paranormal has taught me one thing and that is never to doubt the uncertainty of this world.
Coming out of my shell and learning to talk about my experiences helped me see that many people believe in ghosts. What surprises me is the level of fear associated with that belief. I recently started a blog where I encourage people to talk about their own personal experiences with the paranormal.
Through this blog, I’ve found that the people who have had experiences of their own tend to be much less frightened than the ones who haven’t. Typically, they don’t want to post their experiences publicly, but choose to send me a private message, which usually reads much like my own encounters with reports of non-violent, subtle activity.
Those who haven’t had an experience are usually terrified at the prospect. Things we don’t understand often generate fear. I hope this book will give some insight to those seeking answers and perhaps comfort those who are afraid.
I am not asking anyone to open their minds so wide that their brains fall out. But we should all acknowledge that there is so much about our world that we may never fully understand. The best that we can do is to listen to the perspectives of others and make our own decisions. To that end, I’ve asked Keshia to share her unique perspective on growing up with ghosts.
