I got interested in the paranormal after having a couple of personal experiences a couple of years ago that i could not explain, and over the last 3 years that interest has grown and grown until i started doing my own research , and then landed here with ecto which changed it from being an interest to a hobby . affraid

I got interested in the paranormal as a child. I was unfortunately hounded by an unfriendly spirit for years and had several experiences that terrified me. I also began seeing, hearing, and communicating with spirits which has since developed. Although I haven't seen a ghost for a few years now, I still feel them around and hope for the puposes of this organisation I get to have a close encounter yet again, but this time armed with a camera, dictaphone, and a mean arse team of ghost hunting warriors. Very Happy

I got interested through Phantom and my youngest daughter. Phantom and I used to live in a place that was definitely haunted. He had several experiences there, some really frightening and even I experienced some strange things there. our little daughter seems to have the ability to see spirits, too, so together with Phantom i started to do a bit of research about ghosts and spirits, which lead to G.P.S.

G.P.S. is more than a hobby to me, it almost became a passion.

Now, here in this forum it is always a pleasure to exchange thoughts and opinions with like-minded people, without the fear to be called a freak. cheers

During the last four month we got to know a lot of nice and interesting people sharing the same interests some of them ghosthunters, like we are. I love you

as a kid i'd spend my life reading ghost storys, finding information on ghosts... As i grew up im fairly sure i had experances with spirits, strange things in the night.
Over a year ago, i started doing readings for people, not sure how it started but people i did it for were amazed by how accurate i was. i met lou my partner and moved in to her family home nearly a year ago, and her mum went to the spiritalist church. I joined her one evening a total secptic, and i really enjoyed it, found it relaxing. Soon became a regular fixture, and i became a beliving sceptic learning not all mediums are good or real. There are some amazing ones whos information blew my mind.
I soon joined the church and has been taking classes ever since, finding im really good with objects and learning new techniques. As a result ive become more sensitive to things around me and ive started to do paranormal investigations. I try to remain a skeptic, and i love the way taps do their investigations... though ive never done a full investigation, i cant wait to do it. ive found im good at doing drawings and writing information that comes to me and id love to test that out!!

I started from experiences as a child. I had an incrediable spirit start to communicate with me and become rather protective as well. He has saved my life more times than I can remember. I never really opened up to an other spirits until more recently. The only hard part is the more I open up the more you get to see everything the good the bad and the ugly Surprised

I am so glad though that I have been able to find groups like this one that I can talk with and find help from.
I completely agree Arwen it is nice to talk with people and not be considered a freak.

Great to read such interesting experiences on this thread. It is certainly true that every person has psychic ability if they choose they be aware of it. For me as a small child I realised that i could see people that nobody else appeared to be aware of. All these years later I find I have lost many of the skills I naturally possessed from birth but have learnt many new skills connected to the "unseen".

Recently I have been aware that my abilities have developed again, and are becoming more acute. Being surrounded by a psychic team, has probably contributed to this and helped me to turn it all on again. I had chosen to close off somewhat but now realise that this gift is something should be developed and utilised in a more productive way. My position as Co-founder and lead investigator of this team brings with it the responsibility and well-being of the UK team, and for me keeping an open mind, and looking for tangible evidence is paramount in our efforts. I felt that my psychic abilities may have clouded or adversely affected my judgement whilst on investigation, but the opposite is true and I now feel that it can only enhance our teams abilities and benefit the opportunities we are privileged enough to be part of.

Thank you to all of you for your comments in this thread and maybe we developed our interests in this field to end up here together, working to understand the Paranormal and perhaps one day providing the world with the proof that ghost hunters have strived to achieve for hundreds of years. Was it fate that brought us together?

Cool

I believe it is destiny that has bought us together and from here on only great things can happen.
