Did you ever have a paranormal experience that converted you from a die-hard skeptic into a believer?

Question

What happenned to change your mind?

Answer 1

I was a kid.  Growing up all I heard was how ghosts aren't real, dadadada.  So I turned to science.  Well, the conclusion that I reached was that I had to be carzy, and finally at the age of eleven I convinced my Mom to take me to a psych doc.  The first few session he had concerns and so on and so forth, but in the third and actual "session," he asked me if there was anybody in the room with us, to descibe them, so on and so forth.  What did they say, and normal psych stuff.  So I described who I saw, one was an unfamiliar spirit (there were four in the room), and I went into the description and started telling him what the ghost was saying.  All the stuff he done wrong as a kid, why his marriged failed and so on and so forth.  Now I believe that possible it was his mother, and that she wasn't too pleased with her son.  Either way, after 15 minutes he called the session quites, gave my Mom some money to take me and my little brother out to lunch and asked her not to bring me back, that I was just fine.

Little over a year later my Mom ran into his former receptionist, and she told my Mom that about 4 months after that he quite his practice, sold everything, moved, and started a new life after remarrying his ex-wife whom he had been seperated from for six years and became a different and better person, and that he was terrified she would bring me back.  That was when I decided that our science can't define everything now, but that sometimes what is inexpicable is the most explainable thing in the world, because what you feel in your heart is more true.

Now I don't see spirits or ghosts like I used to, but I don't discount them either.  I do try to find a more rational explanation than just jumping to the conclusion that the answer is always supernatural.

Answer 2

I am skeptical, but I started as a believer.  This conversion took place over time as the lack of evidence and plausibility sank in.

Answer 3

No as I accept paranormal as normal.

Answer 4

That's why I'm here. If you care to dredge back through my 1000's of answers, I explain.

Answer 5

I've been doing meditation for yrs and I also had near-death-experiences. My spirit/soul can travel out of my body and the beauties I see are not normal, you can't see this with your eyes. So far I never had bad experience and I won't since I know how to do this.

Now it never changer my mind or altered it, I, though more aware of the need of love in the world.

Thanks.

Answer 7

i used to be a huge skeptic until i started to hear these strange whispers and see shadows that moved on their own. once i even heard a cat cry when my own cat wasn't even in the house. and to make the best of it, my whole family has had these experiences as well. i'm still skeptical, only not about everything. it's just aliens, sasquatch and sea monsters i'm skeptical about.
