Paranormal Megathread"Paranormal events are phenomena described in popular culture, folklore, and other non-scientific bodies of knowledge, whose existence within these contexts is described to lie beyond normal experience or scientific explanation."
{X}Basically, this is a spooky thread for all matters pertaining to, but not limited to:
- Something strange in your neighborhood
- Something weird, and it don't look good
- Seeing things running through your head
- Invisible men sleeping in your bed
- Freaky ghost babies
So, essentially, if you want to talk about anything spooky that goes bump in the night, this is your thread.
Aliens/UFOs
What's an Alien?Aliens are essentially any lifeforms non-native to Earth, anywhere in this universe. Thus, the existence of aliens in at least some form is essentially guaranteed. What is not guaranteed, however, is the existence of intelligent life more or less advanced than humanity. Even less guaranteed, is evidence that aliens have, or will ever have the capability, to visit or communicate with Earth.
What's a UFO?Simply put, UFOs are any
Objects
Flying through the sky that are
Unidentified by the witness(es). While commonly associated with, and most commonly thought of as Alien space crafts/vehicles, this is not always the case.

Ghosts/Orbs
What's a Ghost?A ghost is a physical or visual representation (Apparition) of one who has previously passed away, and thus would not be able to appear in the manner that the living would. Ghost sightings are cryptic and hard to pin down, most likely due to the inherently unstable connection a dead person would have with the world of the living. There are however, individuals who attempt many seemingly bizarre methods of communicating with these spirits (See: Ghost Hunters) in an attempt to prove their existence.
What's an Orb?"Orbs are a highly debated phenomena in paranormal circles. Some people believe they are visible evidence of spirits. However, many researchers doubt whether orbs are ghosts at all. No one knows whether spirits are able to consciously harness this energy or not, but orbs are often witnessed at locations where some form of paranormal activity has reportedly taken place."
{x}Basically, they're... orbs. Typically translucent spherically-shaped objects of unknown origin, associated with ghost sightings and paranormal activity.

Cryptids
What's a Cryptid?Cryptids are mysterious creatures claimed to have been spotted in real life by multiple eyewitnesses, typically in separated incidences. Some popular examples that are widely recognizable in popular culture are Bigfoot, The Loch Ness Monster, El Chupacabra, The Jersey Devil, and Mothman. There's a whole lot of people trying to find these creatures, leading to many false reports and muddled information. That's why sometimes, the lesser known Cryptids are the most likely to exist.

Isn't this all a bit silly?To some people, maybe. However, it's usually rather exhilarating to find evidence that paranormal lifeforms may exist, and it can be even more fun to find scientific and rational explanations for such outlandish events.
