When I was about 10 or 11 years old I had an experience that would change my life forever. I had a bunk
bed that I absolutely loved to sleep on. One night as I was sleeping soundly on the top bunk, I awoke from my sleep
for no apparent reason. I don't know what time it was, but it was either late night or early morning. As I lay
there, trying to go back to sleep, I began to hear the sound of footsteps lightly crunching the carpet coming from my parent's
room. It wasn't unusual for my mother to get up during the night to go to the bathroom or to the kitchen for something
to drink. For this reason, she kept a nightlight burning in the hallway.
We didn't sleep with the doors closed in our house and my parent's room was directly across the hall from mine.
I could see very clearly in the glow of the nightlight as I waited to see my mother appear and walk down the hall. The
sound of the footsteps got louder and louder as they left my parent's room and approached the threshold of my room.
They stopped right at my doorway and suddenly I heard someone or something give a long slow sigh and kind of smack their lips.
After that, the footsteps turned and walked away down the hall and then, silence! As I said, I could see everything
very clearly, thanks to the nightlight, and there was NO BODY attached to those footsteps! I could see the doorway,
the floor and my parent's room all very clearly. Whatever made those footsteps wasn't my mother, father or the family
dog. To this very day, I have no idea what made those footsteps.
We were the only family to ever live in that house, so I know that no one ever died in it. The history of
the land, however, may reveal some clues. It could have been the spirit of someone who had died there or close to there
a long time ago or it could have simply been the spirit of someone who was "just passing by".
Now I'm an adult. I have been to college and have a Bachelor's and Master's Degree and work as a medical
professional. However, I have been on a quest ever since that fatefull night to investigate and learn all that I could
about Ghosts and everything paranormal. To help me learn about those things, I have become a Certified Ghost Hunter
and Paranormal Investigator through the International Ghost Hunter's Society. I have had a few other experiences since
then, but I'm not going to bore you with the details of them right now.
I have also always loved radio since I was a kid and I always wanted to be a radio DJ when I grew up. With
the invention of the internet, I have been able to combine my two little hobbies into one little one. In October of
2002, I started ParaReality Radio, an internet based radio talk show centering around the paranormal. This has given
me the opportunity to share my knowledge and experiences with anyone on the planet that will listen to my show. I also
hope to be able to gain knowledge myself from it.
If you're in to the paranormal, like to look into mysterious things, or simply just want to listen to something
different every once in a while, I think that you will enjoy my show. I try to make it as informative as possible for
the listeners as well as entertaining. So, listen to the show, and let me know what you think. Thanks for stopping
by.
Sincerely,
SandMan
