There has been an enormous upsurge in the interest of paranormal and psychic phenomena of late. In recent years the number of movies with paranormal themes has risen dramatically. Ghosts are probably the most known paranormal phenomenon with the UFO and psychic category gaining on it everyday. 
I think one of the most misunderstood things about the paranormal is that it may be normal to some or many of us. Perhaps it’s time we all started to believe in the paranormal, If not UFOs and aliens, then maybe we’ll discover more answers to the never-ending questions about the meaning of life and our very purpose here on this planet. by allowing ourselves to explore Disillusionment with antiquated beliefs as well as modern society; the real need to discover a personal sense of spirituality and the validation of mystical concepts by modern scientists, I believe are responsible for the increasing interest in paranormal subject matter. Not to mention all the people who are having psychic or paranormal experiences daily and are sick of writing them off as imaginary. Psychic and paranormal events are occurring in our daily lives and becoming less like a far out concept for many who have them.
In literature too, the paranormal is encroaching and gaining ground.
While the classic romances might cast the heroine as the damsel in distress, waiting to be rescued by her knight in shining armour, modern day paranormal romances (and a number of other modern day romance tales) feature stronger heroines. From there, as the feelings between the pair develop, you’ll have a paranormal romance set in a fantasy world that breaks many of the rules in traditional romance novels. With the paranormal, anything is possible, and some interesting romance novel are springing up with a psychic- paranormal theme to them.
There are many people in this world who will tell you that a belief in spiritual existence is nothing more than a way of drawing comfort in the face of certain death. Try telling that to a Medium, who is bugged daily with message from the departed!
There are many religions that try to justify the negative aspects of life on earth by using the belief in an existence beyond this world as the object of all our endeavours here on earth as well as a way of gaining control over their flock and behaviour, with fire and brimstone being handed out as a punishment for not following their rules.This has no doubt put many off the idea of even considering- there is more to this life….
On the increase in the paranormal realms is that of ghost sightings.Some feel the Ghost is the collective conscious of the people leaving an imprint in reality of a person’s past existence. Numerous sightings of the departed exist to show an overlapping theme some where between a floating entity of no description, to the clear image of a loved one who has shrugged off this mortal coil is much more than that- particularly if they deliver a message or piece of information that is current, relevant or highly personal. That’s not so easy to shrug off as an imprint is it? Experiences of such things may be varied, but a commonality often persists.
What of angels, fairies and other sightings?
Some further match UFO entities and the tales of Little People, where nature spirits or other fairy sighting show the beings to have similar skin tones or dress in many peoples descriptions. An uncanny similarity persists in reports.
I previously surmised and proposed that the common thread today of those who will not admit or be open to the idea of the paranormal is lack of time. Other cultures have more time to explore their psychic side and paranormal events. In the west we are often so busy that the body has to run at the optimum speed for functions only, which the brain needs, nothing extra, maximum oxygen, blood flow and the mundane. Many do not take time to smell the roses or explore their own psychic abilities or paranormal events as they occur around them daily. It’s much faster to put an unsettling event down to just one of those things, than explore it. So that’s often what we do.
Such busy people would carry on unaware if aliens landed on Bournemouth Beach or took over the 10 o’clock news to broadcast their co-habitation amongst us mere earthlings. No matter what happens in front of their very eyes- some people will never shake in their unfaltering belief that the paranormal is entirely made up by the crazy folk.
Commonality between various seemingly outrageous claims interests me the most in reports of paranormal or psychic events. For example have you heard of the Hollow Earthers?
“The Lands Beneath” is what the beings Robert Kirk is alleged to have encountered in Aberfoyle, Scotland, called where they live. Kirk is not the only person who has claimed to have gone where these beings live. The very nature of these beings makes proving their existence next to impossible. I have found reports going back 100 years of people claiming the same experience as Robert Kirk. All have similar accounts of their experience, it a compelling read. However few would entertain the idea openly that a race of beings within the earth could be a reality, at least not in public and sober. So generally, these reported occurrences go unexplored and no one investigates for validity, preferring the easy route of just proclaiming the person is unbalanced.
Some paranormal subjects have things in common with other paranormal subjects. and experiences and themes persist over the ages, in different parts of the globe and in very different cultures also.
Well, there must be some amount of truth in their reality to a degree- do you not think, my sceptical friends?
Hollywood filmmakers didn’t create the interest, they merely cash in on it. Spiritual growth and karmic balances are strong at this time of our being, and more and more people are facing up to accepting paranormal events or psychic episodes as a reality that is far removed from fiction.
