Many people — myself included — wholeheartedly believe in the paranormal/supernatural. On the flip side, though, many individuals (aka skeptics) firmly refuse to believe that anything outside of the natural realm can occur. They prefer to believe that everything happens for a reason that can be easily explained if one looks closely enough.
However, even skeptics will sometimes witness an event or experience a moment that completely changes their outlook on what is possible in the world around them. From terrifying encounters to unexplainable occurrences, many situations can convert a skeptic to a believer...
Maybe you lived or worked in a haunted location and saw, heard, or even felt things that couldn't be logically explained?
Maybe a deceased relative or friend visited you in a dream and warned you of events that later happened?
Maybe you were about to be injured in a serious accident — such as falling down a set of stairs or being involved in a car wreck — only to mysteriously "wake up" in a completely safe location?
Maybe your paranormal experience felt more like a scene from a horror movie? Perhaps an angry being or presence violently awakened you in the middle of the night? Or maybe a spirit wreaked havoc in a particularly malevolent way?
Maybe you experienced a life-altering moment, such as an out-of-body or near-death experience, and perhaps while unconscious, you "visited" an otherworldly place or witnessed events that couldn't be logically explained?
No matter how you became convinced that the paranormal was real, we want to hear your story! Which is why I'm asking former skeptics: What was the one paranormal event you experienced that turned you into a believer?
