Introduction
Most of people outlooks on paranormal activity have come from movies and books (Ghare, 2007). Their outlook makes them question whether or not paranormal activity exist (Ghare, 2007). Modern technology has provided evidence that supports the existence of paranormal activity (Ghare, 2007). Paranormal activity is the ability to see, hear, or communicate with someone who has passed. (Children Experiencing Paranormal Activity, 2014). Paranormal activity also means that a phenomenon that cannot be explained by scientific theories (Ghare, 2007).
There are several causes of paranormal activity. Most of the time spirits need to communicate with a family member because they did not have the opportunity to do it when they were living (Possible Causes of Paranormal Actvity, 2014). They may have business to handle (Possible Causes of Paranormal Actvity, 2014). They also reject the idea that they have departed from their physical body (Possible Causes of Paranormal Actvity, 2014). Spirits may attach themselves to property and would not want to let it go (Possible Causes of Paranormal Actvity, 2014). When there is negative energy in the house, demonic spirits may enter and haunt the home (Possible Causes of Paranormal Actvity, 2014).
Astrology is the study of the influence that stars and planets have on a people’s lives. It is said that the position of the planets, sun, stars, and moons at the time of their birth affects their personality, their personal relationships, and predict other things (Hughes, 2011).Astrology can help find a solution for a circumstance or predication (What is Astrology, 2012).

“The strange thing about the paranormal is that no matter how often [a person proves] it, it remains unproven” (Chopra). Given personal experience and evidence by professionals that have dedicated their lives to find answers regarding the paranormal and the afterlife. There will always be skeptics so long as there are humans with their own thoughts and opinions. Despite what skeptics say,ghosts exist; there are several eyewitness accounts, religious traditions, and traditional cultural stories that support the paranormal.
Everyone has a slightly different interpretation of the supernatural but the interpretation which we can start with is Shakespeare’s. Everyone of Shakespeare’s time found the supernatural fascinating. Shakespeare interpreted the supernatural as witches, magic, unnatural and evil and he expressed his beliefs in the play, “Macbeth” very clearly, as he portrayed the three deformed women with control over the weather and the ability to predict the future. These three evil witches with magical powers were the creation of Shakespeare’s interpretation of the supernatural. Shakespeare’s contemporaries believed in the supernatural very strongly and a majority of them were frightened of it, including the king of that time, King James I of England.
Paranormal activity is simply the activity dealing with spirits and the strange phenomena that cannot be explained by what the scientist know about nature and the world (Merriam-Webster, 2014). There are several different types of paranormal entities such as Poltergeist, spirits, hauntings, and etc. Hauntings appear in most places and they appeal to every sense except taste. Hauntings can be from anything dealing with the life form that was once alive (MPI, 2009-2014). Poltergeists are “noisy ghosts” but really distinguishes them is they are attracted to one person, epicenter. Epicenter is usually a person, usually a female, which is going through puberty and sometimes emotionally stressed (MPI, 2009-2014).

...s have even used special equipment to detect certain electrical activity in haunted areas. Adding to that, there are also several stories of hauntings all around the world, and although these claims are based on hearsay, we should come to understand that even though hearsay isn't always reliable, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is unreliable and is considered evidence in societal factors depending on various factors. “The amount of anecdotal evidence is also relevant because the higher the number and the more credible the witnesses, the stronger the evidence.” (Wu)
These small inns, century old buildings, etcetera are calling in these paranormal investigators to determine whether or not their business is haunted. More often than not, these detectives are being paid which may influence their determination of the place being haunted or not. Also, some businesses may throw in a...
between living organisms and their external environment that seem that seemed to transcend the known physical laws of nature (The Rhine, 2013). According to (Nichols, 2011) parapsychology was studied over 100 years and in that time amassed thousands of cases studies and formal experiments in order to better understand these non-ordinary realms. In the study of paranormal activity, they have been studying them in lavatories. When studying parapsychology, people try to get an understanding and hope to get their questions answered about the phenomena aspects of these subjects. Scientist who study paranormal activities are trying to discover why these events occur. Parapsychology came about in the 1930s. When in a paranormal situation it is weird and scary and sometimes unbelievable.
aranormal activity has been a cause of fear and excitement throughout history. The unknown attracts the curiosity from those who wonder whether the supernatural is real or a figment of the imagination. Ghosts are one of the supernatural beings whose existence is questioned every day. Many want to deny the existence of ghosts because they are terrified of other phantoms who may exist and ignore the evidence that has been brought forth throughout the years. However, ghosts are supernatural pheromones whose existence still impacts today’s society.
In other words supernatural apparitions come as a result of either hallucination and depression or an evil deed.
Introduction Paranormal activity means unusual things that occur, that are not normally expected. Paranormal means beyond the range of normal experience or scientific explanation. According to Stefanik (2000) “investigation into paranormal activity evolved into the field of parapsychology”. Ghosts, spirits, and scary stories have always been a part of our nation and society for years. The spiritual movement of the late 1900s, had people fascinated with spiritual hope that there would possibly be life after death (Stefanik, 2000).
It was not up until 200 years ago that people started identifying their zodiac sign with the position of the Sun. So when a person is asked what is his or sign, the Sun was passing through on the day that person was born. This can be demonstrated on a birth chart. Our birth charts are special "sky maps" which reflect the quality of the exact moment we drew our first breath. With that first breath, we each began our own incredible hero's journey through life on planet Earth. The birth positions of the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto all play their own unique symbolic roles as messengers and ambassadors of the universe.
Life after death: a mystery to most, but unsolved to all. Scientists and ghost hunters dedicate years and years of their lives searching for proof of the dead still roaming earth. Some believe the presence of some dead linger, while others believe spirits haunt. What I believe to be true is the existence of ghosts and their link to their former life on earth; my belief can be confirmed by the abundance of video and picture proof, eye-witness accounts, cultures, and numerous belief systems. Oxford Dictionary defines ghosts as an apparition of a dead person that is believed to appear or become manifest to the living.
Log any cold spots or areas that creak in the house so that you don’t assume they’re something paranormal later. Make sure you set up any cameras or other technology you have before you turn off the lights and start the investigation. Now, start the investigation. Make sure you take notes of everything that happens. Every noise you hear, everything that happens to you, even every time you sneeze or cough. If everyone in the group does this, and writes down what times everything happens, it’s easy to go back and make sure you all heard the same thing at the same time. You could sneeze and someone could mistake that for a ghost making noise. If you log everything, there’s no confusion around things like this. Make sure everyone in the group has a chance to do everything. Rotate a couple of times during the investigation to keep everyone at attention, doing the same thing all night could get boring. When you are done, have everyone meet in one spot and say another prayer or blessing and ask the spirits to not follow you home. Again, nobody really knows if this works or not, but most people will do it simply because they’re
Modern day astrology is meant to be a philosophy to put into detail different aspects of life instead of predicting the future. (www.astrology.net/about.html, p.2) Astrology has been the stuff that has brought people together. (www.astrology.net/about.html, p.2) It explains the power that people contain in their lives. (www.astrology.net/about.html, p.2)
Experiments are one to find out whether man has a soul, which leaves him when he dies. People are said to have confronted ghosts and apparitions. But it remains to be proved that ghosts do exist and possess the power, they are supposed to have. In some cases, there are scientific reasons behind superstitions. In South India, people apply sandalwood paste on their foreheads. There is because Sandalwood keeps the forehead cool.
