Exploring the Existence of Paranormal Activity

974 Words2 Pages

Whether we choose to believe in the paranormal or not, we all have to realize that

there are many strange things that happen to all of us that are unexplainable.

The history of paranormal existence has been around since the beginning of time.

The paranormal is not what most people believe it is, “ghosts”. There is a wide range in

what is considered paranormal. In order to understand the paranormal you must first

understand the meaning of the word. The prefix “Para” means beyond and normal. This

gets you the result of beyond normal. Just because science cannot prove it, does not mean

that it is paranormal. In fact, as you read on you will discover that science does back up

paranormal existence quite a bit.

Many people believe in the existence of paranormal and many more do not. Some

say that paranormal existence is all a big hoax. Some people say that it is evil and only

investigated by those who worship Satan. In opposite, demons possessing a human life

having to be drawn out by a priest. Quotation from the Holy Bible Acts 16:18“And this

she kept doing for many days. Paul, having become greatly annoyed, turned and said to

the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” For the

longest time people believe that the soul and body are separate. That the body is nothing

but a cage keeping the soul hidden from view.

What types of paranormal cases are happening? Out of Body Experience

abbreviated in today's world and known by many as an OBE. An OBE is the feeling of

floating above your body in a euphoric state. Most OBE cases have reports of

foreshadowing events of the future sometimes even predicting them long before they

become reality.

...normal dimension does

exist and in fact that science does back it up to an extent. I am not trying to persuade you

to become a full blown believer like myself but just trying to make people more aware of

their surroundings and less skeptic with a more open mind. Remember, whether you

choose to believe or not is your own choice.

The word normal means standard to common type of person. The word paranormal has come from two-word Pará and normal. Paranormal means things are not normal people do not know what is going on. Like scientists have no clue of what the world has to offer, so they just label it paranormal activity (Ford,1994 pg 1). The categories of paranormal activity are classification such as ghost, Bigfoot, and even the moth man these are some of the many that paranormal classify.

  • Why Talking to the Dead Is Not Fact

    945 Words  | 2 Pages

    According to Peter Kor's third principle (2), such an extraordinary claim as being able to communicate with the dead makes us "question our understanding of ordinary events" and "such an extraordinary claim or view requires proportionate revision of conventional wisdom"(2). For example, if a friend in Florida calls to tell me that a polar bear was in his backyard, eating the wheel off his car but has since left, I should not simply accept this, because it questions what I already know to be fact. What I already know as fact in a situation like this is that 1) polar bears do not live in Florida because they are not comfortable in the heat, 2) polar bears certainly do not roam free in suburban areas, and 3) just because he said this happened doesn't make it real.

  • The Importance Of Extraterrestrial Life

    975 Words  | 2 Pages

    Since the 18th century speculation of unearthly life has been brought up by many influential people. One of the founding fathers of the United States, Benjamin Franklin, once stated "I believe that Man is not the most perfect Being but One; rather that as there are many degrees of Beings his Inferiors, so there are many degrees of Beings superior to him”. This quote justifies the fact that even the most prominent people believed in cosmic beings. Further in time, In July 1947, an unidentified flying object crash landed in a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico. What military officials discovered was nothing more than the debris of a weather balloon that was being tested. However, people did not seem to fathom the truth and began to investigate what the military did not want the public to know. Bodies of unknown humanoid beings were seized by the military and taken into a secret base for further analysis. Various reasons as to why celestial beings could lurk the universe are being brought upon by today’s modern science committee possibly unlocking an insight onto future life. The first reason as to why extraterrestrial life could perhaps exist is that there is a vast amount of galaxies, stars, planets, and solar systems that humans have not yet discovered. To think that humans, the only civilization on planet earth, are the only living organisms in space would be quite absurd. Furthermore, a second reason as to why extraterrestrials could subsist is that life thrives in the most extreme conditions. This means that whether organisms are in the depths of the ocean, in the midst of the ozone layer, or in the scorching hot temperatures of volcanos; life always finds a way to adapt. However, some may argue that life could not possible coin...

    Everyone has a slightly different interpretation of the supernatural but the interpretation which we can start with is Shakespeare’s. Everyone of Shakespeare’s time found the supernatural fascinating. Shakespeare interpreted the supernatural as witches, magic, unnatural and evil and he expressed his beliefs in the play, “Macbeth” very clearly, as he portrayed the three deformed women with control over the weather and the ability to predict the future. These three evil witches with magical powers were the creation of Shakespeare’s interpretation of the supernatural. Shakespeare’s contemporaries believed in the supernatural very strongly and a majority of them were frightened of it, including the king of that time, King James I of England.
