What exactly are you into that caught their eye?" I learned all about EVPs and religious symbolism and how crap Ouija boards are. "So I started taking paranormal courses at my local community college. I said nothing and stared out of the passenger side window. Anyway, from then on I knew that I wanted to try and push back the veil and see what other planes of existence there were." He paused long as though he was waiting for me to respond. Well, that's when my mom sat me down and gave me 'the talk'. I was nine and ran to my parents' bedroom telling them what I saw. She left her bible on my bed and walked directly into the closet. "Yeah, so the first time I ever saw a spirit, it was my grandmother. I am a listener by trade, but as the day turned to night and Jeremy continued to spew on and on about how everyone in his family could see and talk to ghosts, I could feel a migraine coming on. At first I thought maybe this would be alright. On that first day I learned that Jeremy was a rapid talker that liked to speak with his mouth full of jerky. I put my luggage in the back and hopped into the passenger seat. The truck had a camper top over its bed but when I rounded that and saw the man sitting in the driver seat, I knew that maybe I'd told yes just a little too quickly. My wanderlust dripped right out of my feet with every step I took towards the beat-up truck waiting for me at the end of the sidewalk. I could not wait to get on the road during long nights like some kind of hardboiled detective novel hero with neon lights flashing by in a haze. I was told Jeremy would pick me up the following week and we would hit the road immediately. Apparently one of their reps had read my article on Euthyphro and thought I would be the perfect person to conduct unbiased investigations into the paranormal perhaps to add some validity to the metaphysical. paid well and provided me with gas and peridium. I remember when I was originally contacted by to research paranormal anomalies. He knows how to run the cameras and the audio equipment. Jeremy is a great big plucked turkey of a man with a swollen belly and a waddle in his step I think he's in his mid thirties. So much so that I sometimes feel as he's a bit conspiratorial and believes the whole world is run by lizard monsters in human skin suits. Jeremy is just one such person that gets carried away with supernatural claims. Whosoever makes extraordinary claims then so to does the burden of proof belong to them. Not to say these things are not possible, but I have a philosophy I like to follow in regards to things like that. I don't believe in EVP recordings pointing to anything more than noise pollution in audio equipment. I am the forever skeptic and as long as something can be chocked up to practical reason or just plain coincidence I will take that over the conclusion of some old school haunt or weird pseudo scientific theory. Now that you know this I'm sure that you think I'm a self assured spiritualist, but that would not be the case. I've browsed the paranormal board on 4chan, I've read stories on here, and I've fed my morbid curiosities more than a few times on the deep web. Now that you know this I'm sure that it would come as no surprise to you readers that I am no different than you with your curious nature. It was undefinable- indescribable- it was just me. I could change this feeling no more than I could change my sexuality. It always felt like it was something apart of myself. Really I don't care what force you want to attribute it to, because to me it never really felt like some outside force tugging me towards the weird and macabre. For longer than I care to remember I've always felt a longing.
