What got people interested in the Paranormal/Esoteric

[fansongecho]

Just very curious as too what might have first got people on here interested into the paranormal and the esoteric and also do your partners have the same interest .. I am totally fascinated by a lot of subjects outside of mainstream science    My Partner is not in anyway interested    but is really tolerant of my interest in this.

Thanks in advance, I am genuinely interested in peoples responses. 

Have a tip top day/evening/morning what ever time-zone you may be in.

Cheers!

time off line is nuts right now but this one was on top so i'll toss my two cents in here first

what might have first got people on here interested into the paranormal and the esoteric

basically things i couldn't explain and big folks couldn't or wouldn't answer
as i've said before the standard answer i would get was
"you must have dreamt that"

so i started looking .....and here i is..hahahahahahah

Hey Fans! good question..I read Chariots of the Gods in the seventies and it was balls to the wall since then!

Also had some bad experiences in church as a boy, no abuse, just an incredulous feeling that people actualy believed that crap, so I went off on theology for a while, and bingo, where does that lead? Egypt....Megaliths..etc..its a wonderful world, weve only been recording 6-10 thousand years of it...so much to learn!

Cheers!

Cheers Le,

My interest started when I read about the Barney & Betty Hill story back in the 1970s, and a also book about the Adamski, and the UFO flaps of the Lubbok Lights and Washington sightings.

Like you Le the whole Bible story when I was young seemed like a very advanced fairy tale, back in the early 70's when I could understand the Irish troubles, I couldn't get anyone to tell me why Big G would allow two versions of the same faith/belief go about killing each other in cold blood - in fact I used to read a lot of swords and sorcery books and they seemed more believable, that and the recorded history that was feed to me as a kid growing up seemed to have a lot of missing information - The Pyramids for example, how did they get built? and when ? and by who?

Anyway I have always had a interest in the paranormal but it is really this last 5 years or so that I have found myself getting deeper and deeper down the esoteric rabbit hole Le' - I think that web-access has made it a lot easier as well to do research on the many topics that come under its umbrella.

Cheers!

Unanswered questions and unexplained events.

Being someone that is always looking for explanations, whenever I don't feel happy with one I try to find a better one, that's how I reached the conclusion that god isn't needed by nature, only by humans, when I was 9 years old.

As I haven't found any of the answers for all my questions I keep looking.
