What do you have to do to experience the paranormal?

Answer 1

If the paranormal can be described as something "beyond reality" then to experience it you must first decide whether your can suspend your beliefs for the time being, and try to get comfortable with the fact that some things just cannot be explained.

When you feel you're "open-minded" enough to continue, decide what area of the paranormal you are most interested in. eg: Spirits or Ghosts, UFO's, ESP or Psychic Phenomena, Majick, etc. then research documented examples in your area. For instance maybe you find a paragraph in a book of local legends describing a park in your town that is reportedly "haunted" by the ghost of a long-dead child. You would then want to continue to find any-and-all other information about this haunting; like the child's name, how they died, and also how have people described their experiences in the park.

Remember the more you know ahead of time the better the chances are of experiencing something. Choose the right tools (or people) to help you, like cameras, video and sound recorders, night-vision, Electro-Magnetic-Frequency or Temperature meters. Even psychics, mediums, or sensitives can all make the difference between success and failure. Remember, DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED. Many-an-investigator comes up empty-handed the majority of the time, BUT that one time, that one experience makes it all worth it.
