I’ve now been around cryptozoology and the paranormal long enough to have heard hundreds of very strange stories. Not just bigfoot, ghost, and UFO stories, but stories of other strange incidents that couldn’t be explained away by normal means. And it’s not my first thought to believe the people telling these stories are simply crazy or delusional. Many people I talk to are traumatized and/or experiencing some kind of post-traumatic stress from the incidents they witness. So the experiences were real enough to them to cause them emotional distress. And most feel some kind of shame or fear of ridicule if they DO actually decide to tell their story. And this is what I’d like to point out here; the tragedy of all this that is less obvious to most people.
Many of these stories I hear that people think are unique to them and have never happened to anyone else, are often similar or nearly identical to other stories I’ve heard before or am familiar with from other sources. Meaning these stories are not unique at all. The same things have happened to other people, and often they’ve happened to more people than we realize.
