I'm such a paranormal freak, probably because ever since I was knee high to a grass hopper I was seeing and hearing things. I'm nowhere near most "psychics" but no one doubts what I see. I see things more in my minds eye than physically, though I've been known to stop dead because someone has popped up in front of me. Doubt me if you will, but it is what it is. It is what I see.
Because of that, I've always felt drawn to Paranormal shows. Ghost Hunters, Paranormal State, and the now defunct Most Haunted, which was my first exposure to televised paranormal investigations.
But ever since Paranormal State popped up, I was fascinated. Not only did they use some really fabulous tech for advertising - the directional audio billboard won them a place in my geek heart - they also had a cast that I found fascinating.
Which I think is an important thing to mention, because I watch the show for the Paranormal Research Society not for the editing by A&E that has been questioned occasionally.
But I have this strange soft spot for Ryan Buell.
He was haunted as a child and took that and started PRS at Penn State. He's flat out adorable. He's smart, sweet and very, very human. I've always wanted to sit down and talk to him. I think it's adorkable when he says "y'all" and other things, which have snuck into my own vocabulary. And I'm very, very proud of him for coming out as bisexual.
Well anyways, today is the day that the new season of Paranormal State started and I, along with other loyal fans, settled in to watch. Next up is Psychic Kids, another of my many soft spots, and suffice it to say I'm a bit of a fanatic.
But the thing is, I watch these shows not out of morbid curiosity or to scare myself but rather because when I was a kid, I saw things.
I saw things in dark places, had things chase me and grab at me, had someone sit on my bed when no one was there, saw the former occupants of one of the homes we lived in wandering around like they'd never died, heard things when I'm alone, seen things out of the corner of my eyes and even felt things touch me.
I'd die if I got the chance to investigate with PRS. It's on my bucket list, actually.
Well, I'm going to focus in and watch Psychic Kids then finish my math homework and crash.
But check out Paranormal State!
