[b] I have autism and im intorested in the paronormle other people find me very strange because of that intorested and some people find me you could say crazy because of what i believe i am.
Im not scared to say what i am and what i can do and what i believe. that is my own intorested.
Theres things i know thats real and others i know is not. I am a medium i scents the dead and really what i am and what i can do im intorested in i love doing i love it! what ever i can do to understand and learn about it i will. Haveing autism and not knowing how to make friends and this being my only intorested i relise when i do try to make freinds its really hard! because they think im weird and sometimes just give me wtf looks. Other things are not intoresting to me.
So i dont got alot of hope on finding anyone whos intorested and believes me in this stuff.
who likes to do the same things as me. So i was wondering why is it here when i walk around and ask people do you believe in the paronormle im alos seen as strange? why is it that other autisitcs are not intorested in the paronormle? i thought maybe someone would be......why is it that im alone? why is it that whatever i ask im laughed at? why cant i be intorested in something i like with someone elts like others can? am i the only autisic who believes this and loves this?
Am i alone? Do you like it to? do you beleive it? -.- sometimes i wonder were is my friends that like the same things that dont find me strange. thatd be nice to talk to someone who believes me who likes the same things.......So heres what im asking: Am i alone?

You might be alone if you keep writing posts with shocking grammar.

I have experiences of spirit manifestation and signs, though it is infrequent and minimal.

You are not alone. Personally I am very interested in the "paranormal", I'm sure many people would find my beliefs very weird or stupid or symptoms of mental illness. You should just go to a different forum to discuss those kinds of subjects.

Or maybe a problem is you talk about those kinds of subjects too much? Sometimes you have to talk about what other people are interested in too.

You're not alone. I enjoy and believe in paranormal stuff too. :) My favorite thing to look up is haunted dolls. I love scaring myself by reading stories about people's experiences with them, and I check eBay for them often, as I am interested in buying one .

Do you realise how many here have dyslexia and other learning disabilities? Do you like it when others make fun of your impairments?

there has got to be something more than this crappy hellhole of a world. so i believe in something more. there are more things in heaven and earth, than are dreamt of in the philosophy of the here-and-now types.

Yes, as such. I have always approached practice with a lot of caution, though. If I want to experience things that drive other men mad, I want to make sure I can hold up under the strain. The first thing I learned was banishing, specifically The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram. If I attract something that I don't want hanging around, I want to make sure I can get rid of it.

Personally, I don't use candles, wands, altars or robes very often. I just use my finger as a wand. That way, I always have it with me if I need it in an emergency. I believe that a person can write his or her own rituals, and develop his or her own systems and theories, as in Chaos Magick, but I do tend to like Ceremonial Magick for the element of shared ritual.

I was interested in paranormal stuff for a time, but I've since lost belief in it. It all seems like nonsense to me.

There is no valid, objective, and material evidence to support any claims of paranormal activities or events.

Do you realise how quick to anger you are? My comment wasnt about making fun but to encourage better posting, it was hard to read and understand for me. But my apologies if it has been taken as an offensive gesture

Just for clarification, encouragement usually employs sympathy. Your post sounds more like discouraging posting you dislike. No offense intended, I'm here to have fun and learn more about things like social rules and people's perceptions of my behavior. Ignore what I said if you have different objectives, I guess.

Come to think of it, there does seem to be a correlation between impaired language skills and reports of paranormal experiences.

This seems similar to the apparent correlation between alcohol and UFO sightings.

It's not anger - I know from the feedback I get that especially young posters can get deeply affected and upset by such comments. As a non-native speaker I know how hard it is to understand some posts but try to keep in mind the OP might have a learning disability and not complain. I understand your intentions weren't malicious and appreciate the apology :)

I'm into the paranormal in forms of entertainment, but as far as actually believing in ghosts? No. I had an experience when I about 6 years old that sometimes makes me question the presence of spirits in the world....but then again I was 6 and had a VERY active imagination. My mother said it was an angel that I saw but it looked more to me like a sad woman. She was wearing what appeared to be a very old wedding dress and had long stringy black hair. I remember seeing this white-ish/blue-ish light that started out very faint at the end of the hall, but then gradually became larger and brighter as it neared my room (I was in bed) and thats when she appeared. I never saw anything like that since then.

But like I said, I was 6. I always say I don't believe in ghosts but then I think back to that time and it makes me think.
