Your Dark Passenger

Hello fellow dark passengers.  Welcome to our first Supernatural Saturday.  In this little paranormal paradise I’d like to discuss all those things that make the hairs on the back of our necks stand on end.  You know, the reason we dive under the covers as children and refuse to come up for air.

I’d like to focus tonight on what is perhaps the most ridiculous fear there is: the dark.  Seriously, are any of us really scared of the dark?  Do any of us flip out because we don’t have as much light by which to see?  Has “the dark” ever been responsible for someone’s death?

The answer to all of those questions is a resounding NO.

What we fear isn’t the dark itself; it’s the unknown.  You see, when it’s dark you don’t know what’s out there.  There could be a spider in the corner or a fire-breathing dragon under you bed, but you wouldn’t be able to see it so you wouldn’t be able to get away.  Of course, we’re not scared of the dark because of spiders and dragons, are we?  It’s something more lascivious that makes the chills race down our spine, isn’t is?

Ghosts, zombies, demons, monsters, aliens, etc…Those are the things we think might be lurking in the darkness.  Logically, we might believe that there’s no way these things exist; they’re little more than the stories told to scare us as children.  We’re too sophisticated to believe in such nonsense.

Until you see it for yourself.

No, I’m not talking about a friend of friend’s cousin’s boyfriend having a paranormal encounter.  Urban legends are one thing; I’m talking about something else.  I’m talking about when you see something that can’t exist, something you can’t believe, something you don’t want to believe.

I’ll give you a minute to scoff over the impossibility of seeing something that doesn’t exist.

Now that you’ve got that out of your system, I’ll go ahead and be the first to say I’ve seen things that couldn’t exist my entire life.  Things that can’t be explained by science continue to happen to me and around me to this very day.  And now, I’m not making it up.  I wouldn’t want to.  I’d much rather they didn’t happen and I could have the luxury of believing there was nothing in the dark except for darkness, spiders and dust.

So, what do you believe?  Have you had a paranormal experience you’d like to share…or one you’d like to know more about?  Talk to me, peeps!  The topic you suggest just might be the one we discuss next week when we dig down into the heart of all things supernatural.
