I remember my Mum telling me that her father always said , men on the moon would never happen , I remember my Gran saying women would never be paid as much as men ....
Bet a lot of our ancestors would not believe that their decendants have bought their own homes ...or that the females hold down jobs that only men did in their time .
So when it comes to "paranormal" to give it a label , why do people seem to jump in and dismiss it . Is it because they are scared ? .. Is it because it,s a bit close to home when the big "DEATH" word is associated ? ...
I personally do not believe , but I am not so locked into my own little comfort zone that I can totally dismiss and ridicule other peoples beliefs .. Can I ask please , how many have had things happen in life that cannot be explained ? I was dragged to a Spiritualist meeting , sat there laughing my head off ... 1st person they picked on was me ... Sally is there and looking after you...Yeah right !
Told my Dad next day .. he said , your Grandmother was known as Sarah, but everyone knew her as Sally .
