Do you believe in the paranormal?

As one who works 3rd shift, I have become an avid listener of the radio program Coast to Coast AM. For fellow night owls and third shift people reading, you likely already know about this show. Coast to Coast airs nationally between the hours of 10pm and 2am Pacific time, and 1am to 5am Eastern time. It has been known to cover a wide range of topics including the paranormal, conspiracy theories, and current events pertaining to the new world order.

I have always had a fascination with the paranormal and listening to Coast to Coast the past few months has rekindled my interest in it, including bringing back to memory a few suppressed, strange events in my own life. I'd like to share briefly what I have experienced before.

When I was a young child, perhaps 5 or 6 years old, I remember I was sick in bed with a very high fever. I remember laying there hovering between consciousness and unconsciousness as I tried to sleep when all of a sudden I felt my whole body envelop in a warm tingling sensation. Slowly, I began to lift up higher and higher to the ceiling. I could see myself laying there in the bed but feel myself hovering at the top of the room. This was not a dream. I was fully aware of my surroundings when this happened and I have never been able to explain it. I have heard of people talk about astral projection. It could have been something like that, but I'll never know.

When I was a teenager, myself and two of my friends drove to a supposed haunted insane asylum one night after work. The building is hundreds of years old and no longer in use. This particular location is regarded as one of the most haunted places in Illinois and gets visited regularly by amateur ghost hunters and paranormal fanatics. We parked outside of the building and just stood there looking at it for a while. That night was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. All of a sudden we saw a bright orange ball of flaming light come flying out of one of the top windows and trail off into the night sky for around 3 seconds before completely disappearing. We all looked at each other in bewilderment. No, we weren't drinking or doing drugs that night either! The only explanation I can think of is someone lighting a baseball on fire and throwing it out the window. That can't explain its zigzagging motion or disappearing altogether.

On two separate occasions I have predicted the future in dreams. One was when I was a child. That night I had a dream of the most random occurrence one could possibly imagine. I dreamed in detail of my great grandmother, who lived nearby, giving me a rare 2 dollar bill. That next morning, it happened just as I had dreamed when my brothers and I visited her. The other time was just a few short months ago. I had a dream of a person I had not seen in almost 4 years. This particular person was someone I never thought of, never dreamed of before, and wasn't particularly fond of. The dream was strange and so random it made me wonder the moment I woke up. Lo and behold, that next afternoon, I ran into that person in the city, after not seeing them or even giving them a second thought for nearly 4 years, except for the prophetic dream the night before. Coincidence?

The most recent event took place this January while I was in Costa Rica. You may have already read my previous blog post on this. I heard the supposed "trumpets of God" as some people have called them. Others have claimed they are the sound of the government weather changing system HAARP. Either way, the noise I heard there at 4 in the morning is the exact same noise that can be heard in countless Youtube videos filmed around the world. My jaw dropped when I got home and heard the noise online for the first time.


Some things you just can't explain. Do you have any paranormal stories? I'd love to hear them in the comments section below.
