The Paranormal

If you enjoy answering questionnaires, please consider taking part in a study of paranormal, religious, and spiritual experiences, being carried out online by researchers at the Experimental Psychology department of the University of Bristol, UK.

If you have had one or more paranormal/supernatural, religious, or spiritual experiences (no matter how small or unexciting!) in your life, and you are over 16, you are eligible to take part. You don't necessarily have to be spiritual or religious, just to have had an experience that isn't easily explained by current science!

The study involves filling in questionnaires at your leisure online, and takes less than 30 minutes in total. The study is *completely anonymous*. Not even your email address is required! If you take part, *please* complete a consent form and *all three* questionnaire forms (so four in total, see links below for more info) and answer all the questions.

If you are interested in taking part in this study, which is fully endorsed by the University of Bristol's Ethics in Human Research Committee, please click one of the following links: (Just a note for people kind enough to have done this study before - it's only possible to do it once, but please pass the info on to friends! Thanks!)

I took these pictures about three and a half years ago when I visited Mount Locust Plantation, which is located on the old Natchez Trace. I went with my parents when we passed through Natchez (and got a look at the older Natchez homes--which are amazing) on our way to New Orleans for my 16th birthday. I guess it was a little morbid of me to take pictures of a cemetery--even if it is a sort of landmark, or, at least, part of a landmark. But I was a really morbid 16-year-old. Anyway, I have two pictures that could indicate paranormal activity there.

In the first one, the possibly paranormal thing is pretty obvious. ( 1 )

In the second one, it's a little more difficult to see and, really, might not even be there. So, I've included a second picture along with it indicating what I think could be the activity. ( 2 )

I don't claim to be the world's best photographer--in fact, I'm pretty much the definition of "amateur" when it comes to photography. So, these aren't necessarily reliable in that sense. But, I will say that the possible evidence only showed up in the pics.

Aside from these photos, I've had a few personal "paranormal" experiences--though not related to my Mount Locust Plantation cemetery photographic experience. I'd be willing to talk about them if anyone is interested.
