The Truth

It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes-


The truth behind the paranormal; knowing the truth is the biggest and most important reason why I follow the research as I do.  I have a passion for finding an explanation to the unexplained. The world is so full of these wonders that we do not need to create them and pass them as truth. The truth is already out there. The truth is intriguing, exciting, terrifying, dangerous, and it is safe. It is everything and more. 

We all know that the truth of the paranormal can harm us but it can also protect us. I believe in the mysteries of the world and know that they are the true adventure that we all look for in one way or another.  Now readers out there may be wondering about why I am saying such things in this writing. I follow the belief that the truth can be proven and needs no embellishment. I want to eliminate the impossible. Then I can see and show that what remains, no matter how off the wall, must be the truth just as the above quote says.

Many stories out there tell of the tale of the isolated tragedy about insanity, depression, murder etc. They tell of such stories where no one is around and this terrible series of events takes place. The events are detailed by the writer of the story. They go into very extensive descriptions. The mother, who goes insane, kills her children, kills herself, and this happened just after she took time to put on her wedding dress. Their bodies were discovered days later. The wails she screamed out after killing her children are still heard in the area today.

How did they know she wailed? How did she know she was insane? If they were alone and were not discovered for days, who was there to detail the events?  So many stories exist and they have no true origin.  Myths and legends have to start somewhere. They have to have an origin. The problem is that many writers of “true events” neglect to tell people why it is true.

There is a history behind it all; there is truth that wants to be revealed. We don’t need to fabricate true events if it is in fact true.  Let us remember that in our search for the truth behind paranormal activity, to keep a healthy dose of skepticism to make sure our feet stay on the ground. The wonders of the world will intrigue us as much as we want if we allow them to give us a chance.

Let me know what you think about the stories that are told today. Tell me if you have an understanding as to why they would be exaggerated. Perhaps it is because people just want them to be noticed.  Maybe it is someone who wants to believe so much in the magic that could happen that they don’t want to wait to experience it.
