I can't explain why I was foolish enough to get married twice. Does that count?

You know, I never saw a ghost, UFO or big foot. I'm not the kind of guy that goes for a bunch of mumbo jumbo. Hell, I wish I had seen one of these phenomena. But, and it's a big but.
I had struggled with faith all my life. I'm quite academic. Evolution, big bang, particle physics etc. Fairly in depth studies. Just couldn't get to the point of faith in God or Jesus.
My wife attended a local church. Occasionally, I'd go with her, I knew some of the people there and it was very friendly and welcoming. Like 4 times a year. I was really trying to figure out "the meaning of life".
On one of these visits, as we sat there in a row of chairs, the pastor started his sermon. Shortly after he started, someone placed their hand on my right shoulder and squeezed it, quite firmly. So sound was this touch that I started to stand up thinking it was a late comer wanting to squeeze by me to an empty chair. As I started to stand, I turned to acknowledge their "request". To my utter disbelief, there was not a soul there. I quickly dropped back down to figure out what had just happened. As I sat, stunned and confused, the pastor, at that very moment said, "If you're struggling with faith, hear me now, if Jesus just reached down and touched your shoulder, He's telling you it's time". I literally started to tremble and I vowed to pray on what it meant. Mind you, I never prayed before.
A short time later, a church member requested to voice a "vision" she had just had. She said that it was clear as day, she saw a man sitting in a cell, struggling with faith. The cell door was open and Jesus stood outside the door, arms spread wide. Jesus then said to the man, "the door is open, all you have to do is walk thru to Me".
It was the most profound moment of my life. 6 months later I was baptized in Jesus Christ.

We had a lot of things happen when I was a young boy. Most would call it poltergeist activity. But it was pretty scary.

My grandmother was into some pretty dark stuff and had used my father when he was a boy to help in some of her rituals. I remember seeing pentagrams and weird stuff in her room when we would visit. My dad insists that the poltergeist activity followed him because of his involvement.

I'll share one quick story. I was about 8 or 9 and the activity was happening all the time. It seemed to originate, oddly enough, from my older brother's room. He was even scared to sleep in there at night. Well, I was walking to the bathroom and was hearing this banging coming from his room. I walked to his bedroom door - he wasn't home at the time - and his football helmet was banging back and forth on his bed-post. His windows were shut and there was nothing, even thinking of it now, that could explain why this was happening. I remember his room felt icy cold, too. Well, I ran out of there and didn't go back into his room for several days.

So, I believe in the supernatural. Do I believe that everything reported is paranormal? Of course not. But I do believe in an afterlife; in heaven and hell. I've seen way too much to just dismiss it.

There's my two cents.

Yeah my oldest sister was doing that stuff, trying to talk to the dead. I'm just glad it stopped since I still live in the same house I grew up in. When my middle sister comes to visit we still talk about those scary nights.

In 1973, myself and two other guys were renting an old victorian house. One night I was the only one in the house. It was about 1 am and I was ready a book in bed and the house was very quiet with no radio or other appliance on whatsoever. All of a sudden I heard a loud sigh right in my bedroom! I was on my feet in no time and freaked out! I went through the house and found nothing. For several days I didn't sleep very well. nothing ever happened after that and I have never experienced anything since. And I don't want to either!
