I have had an experience that MAY have been paranormal. My cousin had just passed away and we were at his mother's house after the funeral for dinner. We were all sitting around, sharing stories about him, when the microwave started beeping and the cupboard door opened and slammed shut.
It didn't open much, so it very well could have been a breeze in the old house. But his mom took it to mean that he was still there and that he was giving her support. Nobody questioned that is was him, because it was something that comforted his mom at the time.
I don't know if I would guarantee it was paranormal, but it is the only story I have relating to that subject.
You might have had paranormal experiences, but are repressing them, That is what I realized about myself after I started keeping a list of any and all experiences that are unusual. I thought the lis t would only be 3 or 4 items long. To my surprise the list grow over time to over 20.
The list unlocked a lot of repressed and forgotten memories. So you might want to keep a list in an email draft or a notepad file of any thing paranormal, ESP, ghosts, crytpzoology, ect.. See if that helps.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
