UFOs. Ghosts. Chupacabras. Do they exist? And if not, why have there been so many up-close sightings and experiences? Paranormal Day is a great chance to answer all above questions.

History of Paranormal Day

As with any paranormal activity, no one knows the origin of National Paranormal Day. The only thing we know is that it was created in 2013 and that's about it. But the truth is out there, and we might find out one day. The universe is packed with all sorts of weirdness, dimensions, and great unknowns. Simply put, any event that occurs that cannot be explained by logic or science is more or less classified as paranormal, because it falls outside the normal range. Vampires, ghosts, Bigfoot, and more, increasingly encounters with the paranormal around the world.

Some small things such as déjà vu can be considered as mystical. People have experienced and witnessed the inexplicable for centuries now. However, there have documentation relating these mystical phenomena a few hundred years ago. The man best known for his collection of paranormal anecdotes is the American writer Charles Fort. Some people have declared that he was the father of modern occultism. He compiled some 40,000 notes on paranormal experiences.

They include reports of events such as teleportation, frogs falling from the sky, foreign substances, unexplained explosions, crop circles, levitation, UFOs, and apparitions and disappearance of mysterious creatures.

It was likely that Fort was also the first creator of the hypothesis about the strange appearance of otherworldly entities and the disappearance of humans due to alien abduction. In spite of being inexplicable, they become more and more popular with hundreds of reports filed each year regarding extraterrestrial beings. However, no matter how much evidence and number of reports are submitted by people who have had direct experience, the absence of empirical evidence makes these events difficult to investigate scientifically. .

Paranormal activity is also a hot topic in the entertainment industry. In 1993, “The X-Files” debuted on television and became a hit classic. Before that, “The Twilight Zone” set the standard for strange occurrences in 1959. In recent years, the first film of the “Paranormal Activity” series was released in 2007 and received worldwide acclaim for its unique cinematography.
