As for me… I
would love to believe that an alien came down to visit of a raw winter’s eve
but I do find it hard to believe the stories that are told by abductees. I do believe
that it’s likely there is life Out There that we may be able to communicate with one day. I love the idea of time travel and think that
may explain Nessie (hey, maybe an Elasmosaurus
found a time portal- anyone see Primeval? Maybe it explains Bigfoot too!).

Paranormal, in a
nutshell refers to encounters that lie outside the spectrum of normal experience
or scientific explanation or that indicates phenomena understood to be outside
of science's current ability to explain or measure. Most commonly this will refer
to ghosts, UFOs/ETs, Bigfoot, the Lochness, Werewolves or Vampires, etc.
As
writers, it’s the events that lie beyond the scientific explanation,
mathematical equation or simple account that fires up the imagination. When I
think about what I want to write, I don’t need to write about the paranormal
event I believe in (or don’t) but the ability to allow the mind to invent a
world outside the tangible and explainable allows one to write a love story
that tears the world apart or move through time barriers, etc. So what about
you? Is there a ghost in your closet?

We just finished
the last season of the BBC version (and the original one. The SyFy version was
D.U.M.B.) of 'Being Human' and I really enjoyed the characters in it. I particularly enjoyed the werewolf.Tom
was more likeable than George (found him a bit whiny after while). And now we’re
getting ready for Walking Dead (have to stream it after it airs).
‘Tis the
season!
