Answer 3

Well I was like 4 when I had my first paranormal experience, I was sitting in my room and I heard Cayden in a low whisper from right behind me. I could not explain it, no one was behind me or anything. I started to believe when I was like in 5Th grade. I was at camp and I felt someone squeeze my feet as if they were trying to get up, I looked up and no one was there. I would have seen a figure because the bathroom light stayed on so I would have seen the outline of someone, heard breathing, heard the steps creak, or heard footsteps and nothing just silence. If it was my bunk partner I would have heard him jump back onto his bed or heard breathing, nothing. It happened again the nest night only this was a hand next to my head. Some other things were that my bag ended up on my friends bed. I was certain that my bag was on MY bed, it just fit perfectly on the shelf so someone had to had moved it and positioned it like that. I was the last one out of the room and no one was in the building while we were outside. I am serious I got bunk number 13 both times I went and numbers 5 and 13 are the " haunted " bunks. Now I am hearing breathing in my room, seeing things out of the corner of my eye, getting the feeling that I am being watched and seeing and " picking up" on things or whatever. So yeah I am a firm believer!! No skeptic will ever change my opinion!

Oh and I was about 11 when I started becoming interested in the paranormal, I started watching the shows like Paranormal State, Ghost Hunters. I just wanted to know the truth about the things we cannot explain and try and find answers. My mom and dad would tell me stories about how this house was haunted, I think it still is. Some of the stories are the bed shaking, the vacuum going on and off by itself, the clock going crazy, my brother talking to a man on the wall, a figure the stretched from the floor to the ceiling, the chandelier violently and falling, the basement door opening and closing by itself, my dog barking at nothing. My dads friend just looked and said " There is something evil in that house man"

Answer 4

Around 10

Answer 5

well, to be honest, i cant remember a time when i didnt believe in it. i dont really want to go into personal experiences, so, i wont, but i have only recently actually started looking into it, and researching it. i do believe in paranormal stuff, and mostly just anything i can think that could be possible, but either way, i started looking into it about these last 2 years or so. my family isnt really obsessive about anything paranormal, but we kind of have a history of things happening, but like i said, i have no desire to go into them. all i can say is that i have reasons to believe what i do. if the original question is "when did i become interested", then i have been interested for most of my life, but i just recently started to gain enough interest to look into it.

well, i hope you have a great day, and it was a good question!

Answer 6

I was 5yrs old now that I am old enought to know what i was doing, I astroprojected and  played with my friends at nite

Answer 7

Most of us start out believing in the paranormal, what kid doesn't think that ghosts and witches and unicorns are possible? As we grow older and wiser then we only believe in things that have good evidence of being real.  

Answer 8

For I do not wish to give personal information so I will give you not to personal information.  Paranormal abilities run in my family.  I was born with them so it never really interested me.  Now im a little bit more interested but not that much mainly because I have them and experience it.  So I usually help people who have troubles with things like it by giving them information ive learned through family and myself.

Answer 9

well apparently i was about 4-5. i don't remember but i was told i would cry and say there was a man in front of my bedroom door at the end of the hall. i was about 7 when i heard 2 voices coming from my living room when everyone was asleep...*you've read the stories, u know =) *  i became more intrigued with it when i was about 16. me & my friends used to play with ouija boards and i watched a lot of ghost programs/movies/documentaries and still do...except for the ouija, i don't play that anymore

*LOL egaltt23, ur starting to sound like me when i get frustrated with some of these ppl..oh wait that wasn't me, it was the poltergeist that time, haha*

Answer 10

Answer 11

I've always believed in the paranormal...

But my first experience happened when I was 11 years old...

That happened in my aunt's house, there was a ghost of a child, and I saw it...

Answer 12

I was 17.

Answer 13

think it's always been with me, from as early as i was aware of myself.

apparently when i was a baby though, there was a swirl of leaves came around my push chair, to protect me, so...

good question btw :)

Edit: i was about 9 or 10 when i saw my first ever spirit, after that, i kept seeing this "shimmer" in the passage that would disappear if you tried to look at it directly.

the most recent, sighting, was in the bathroom of our new house, i saw this phantom type spirit, it hovered over to the sink then disappeared.

It looked like the Grim Reaper, but without the huge scythe.

It's not until i got into my early 20s though that i have learned more about that area, and become a lot more interested in it.

Answer 14

I was four when I saw the first spirit, as I was playing in a very large closet that had doors that led to about four rooms. I looked through one of the doors skelton key hole and saw a spirit floating by in that room. And about a year later I saw another one as I was outdoors playing, it was a very large orb like, it was out side flying above me and the brick appartment building as it became dark. Perhaps the same one that comes to me still to this day as if looking over me all the time.

I have lost count on the amount that I actually seem, there was only one that communicates, and believe to be the same one since age four. The first time she spoke to me was the time I said to her, to go away. I was scared at first, but now I look forward to her coming back as she is always gentle and comforting.

Answer 15

ME too. When I was 8. after an experience that scared the ling h**l out of me.
