| THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE |
Author: Lisa
Paramyst was born out of the idea that there has to be answers out there that other
investigators are nearing but not quite getting answered yet. Since I was a pre-teen, I was
"into" the paranormal. I read everything I could get my hands on, was obsessed with Amityville
and the Warrens, and never missed a new Stephen King book. The Entity scared the bejesus
out of me. I had a distant Catholic grandmother on my father's side who told me once that by
opening my mind to all these things, I was letting the devil in and would go to Hell. She gave
me a little prayer book to carry with me always. I wish I still had that book; it might come in
handy these days! My mother was always taking my brother and I to church, but when she
died, my grandmother tried to find a church that was right for us. I remember at the Assembly
of God church in town, during Bible Study/Youth Group, somehow the subject came up about
the paranormal and I, of course, opened my big mouth, to which the leader of the group made
sure I knew I was going to Hell because I read Stephen King books. Needless to say, I had no
interest in going to church for years and years after that, until I found my current church. Of
course, there was very little information out there in books, magazines, on TV shows, et cetera,
that was real and explained things in a logical manner. It all seemed so-hysterical and scary. I
remember being about 12 or 13 and telling everyone (after reading about the Warrens
investigating the Amityville case) that I was going to be a paranormal investigator. Not a ghost
hunter, mind you, that didnt sound professional enough. I wanted to be a paraNORmal
investiGATOR. Well that day has come and I'm thrilled. It may have taken me 42 years to get
here but lets pray it doesn't take 42 more years to get some answers!
