Truly, that means so much to me! I can’t thank you enough. I sincerely appreciate your kind words. To know that Season of Shadows has that type of impact on someone is phenomenal. With the support of awesome visitors like yourself, what I get to do at this site tastes that much sweeter to me. You rock! Thank you so very much.

Wow–where do I begin? You’re the king of Halloween–truly you’ve earned the title. I have hope for America when I find out there’s folks like you out there keeping Halloween a memory that every kid in the neighborhood remembers, grows up, and wants to reenact in his own yard. You’re spreading a holiday disease–Hee hee. There’s no cure, you know. You have to give in to the pumpkin. I love that you find the most interesting and obscure vid’s, spooky tidbits, nostalgic fun, and I just love when you share your buildup for Halloween. All in all, I never know what you’ll do next and you keep me coming back. When I see you have a new post up-I’m there in a second! Thanks so much and keep it up!

Thanks for the great suggestions, I hadn’t ever thought of doing that. You’re probably right about them being some type of imprint.

Your cemetery experience sounds a lot like ours. The details are quite similar. Thanks to your comment and Goldie’s, I’m fired up to write it out in full detail. I think I’ll get on that in the next day or so.

Goldie,

Though I’m very open, you know I’m also wary of calling certain things paranormal. I like to consider other explanations first, before assuming something is caused by a ghost. Being that I do have a “skeptical” side about paranormal events, I’d have to agree with you — I’ve probably had more strange stuff happen to me than a lot of other skeptics out there. Oh yeah, my mom has experienced several things that I’ve never even encountered, so it does tend to run in the family.

There is an immense void in tangible evidence, when we consider how many amazing experiences have occurred to people and compare it to what’s actually been caught on film or video. Just as you said, the paranormal seems to happen the most often when we are least expecting it (especially visual encounters), and therein lies the problem: when we aren’t looking for it, we don’t have equipment to document it.

I really believe certain “things” have to be lined up just right for those hidden factors (e.g. spirits, ghosts, UFO’s, etc.) to reveal themselves, whether they’re stemming from another plane of existence or else just imprints in the ether of our own plane. This need for things to line up just right is what makes it all so tricky to document.

I’m glad you liked this entry and I definitely will get to working on a full written version of the encounter we had with the lady ghost.

Secondly, ah ghost stories, gotta love ‘em. You know, it’s so difficult to capture their image on video or camera that it really does come down to the actual personal experience that person had with their encounter that makes it real. Such a thing has exsisted through out all of time I’m sure. Now that I think about it, chances are many of us who have had a ghostly encounter of some sort wish that we DID have it on tape some how. It seems as though the energies of the universe don’t quite work that way to allow that to happen. Though we can capture things being said so at least it’s something.

The same holds true for people who have encountered a UFO experience or have had highly unusual happenings to their body or their surroundings that cannot be explained. I’ve had a few very strange experiences in which I wish I did have a camera rolling to capture the happenings. But who was to know prior to the event that something was going to happen in the first place. The paranormal world does have the element of surprise on their side, that’s for sure.

In short, it really does come down to you, and us as individual people having our own unique encounter with the paranormal that’s so believable. Perhaps that’s why there will always be skeptics in our world, it’s something that will never be filmed. Just like the Creator, Source, God, Buddha, Allah whichever faith is practiced; believers KNOW there is such a thing but it’s something that can never be proved to the human eyes. Ahhhhh, gotta love this 3rd dimensional human experience, after all….we did sign up for it
