Social Indifference
Analysis & Observation, Human Psychology 2 Comments »Respect within the paranormal community, like any other community, is something that takes time to establish, and after maintaining a nine year presence on the web, you come to understand the ins and outs of where you might find acceptance and where you obviously will not.
Within the realm of the paranormal exists numerous sub categories where each has it’s own unique following of believers and skeptics alike.
Alien Abductions, Angels, Animal Mutilations, Anomalies, Apparitions, Ball Lightning, Bigfoot, Chemtrails, Close Encounters 1st Kind, Close Encounters 2nd Kind, Close Encounters 3rd Kind, Cryptozoology Behaviors, Cryptozoology Sightings, Deja vu, Demonic Possession, Dowsing, Dream, E.Ts, E.S.P, E.V.P, Elves, Fairies, Feral Species, Ghosts, Ghouls, Gnomes, Hauntings, Healings, Hybrid Species, Incubus, Indigo People, Magick, Mediumship, Missing Time, Mothman, New Jersey Devil, Night Terrors, Occult, Orbs, Ouija Board, Out of Body Experience, Paratography, Phantom Black Cat, Phantom Black Hound, Phantom Human, Plasmoid Phenomena, Premonition, Poltergeist, Psychic Phenomenon, Rods phenomenon, Séance, Shadow Beings, Shamanism, Star Seed, Stigmatized Property, Strange Falls, Succubus, Synchronicity, Trance Mediumship, Ufos, Vampires, Werewolves, and Witchcraft.
And that’s not even a complete listing, but it does give you some ideal as to the overall diversity of the paranormal where each topic contains people who have dedicated themselves to the fullest extent of exploration regarding their chosen interest where folks like myself made it a point of gaining and encompassing every category in their search for the ever elusive missing piece of the anomalous puzzle.
It’s generally very difficult to acquire any level of acceptance within this highly selective community where rampant jealousies and underhanded competition seem to be the preferred method of doing business instead of there being more of a cooperative venture between the many groups and organizations in existence today.
But human nature being what it is, does seem to produce some rather negative behaviors in people, behaviors which never need be enacted nor even considered because everyone holds the power within themselves to express something more positive where I believe the problem is that society in general has become indifferent because by becoming indifferent it then doesn’t need to concern itself with having to handle emotional issues which then may promote feelings of failure and or vulnerability’s.
And especially during times of hardship will you find this the greatest of societal infliction, where then the distribution of acceptance and respect towards each other become the very least of our concerns.
Which in and of itself is sad.
For then what suffers most is our sense of self worth and human dignity.

Several years ago I had been called to a remote location in the southern tier of Western New York to assist a women who had claimed of being possessed by an evil demonic entity.
