Through forces beyond our understanding (or perhaps by invite), you have stumbled upon my blog.  This is a place where I aim to share all my thoughts on the supernatural and otherworldly.  While I do not claim to be an expert on the subject, nor have I definitively experienced such happenings myself, I have spent much of my life researching and feeding my fascination with the unexplained.  Of course, comments are welcome and appreciated, but please be civil and respectful.  Most of all, keep an open mind! Thanks for visiting!
