I have always been fascinated by the paranormal world. In fact, many of my relatives claim to have witnessed encounters. I understand that there are skeptics, but as for me, I am a believer. After a long day of family activities, as night fell, my family would gather and exchange stories. Each sharing a unique experience in another world that taught them a life lesson, scared them, or just gave them another good story to share. I have researched the paranormal extensively and I have to say it gives a feeling of hope and security. Personally, I have never experienced anything that could be defined as paranormal. Conversely, I observed and studied documented evidence both visual and auditory. The paranormal refers to anything that is out of the normal or consistent with reality. Over the years, the world has become increasingly intrigued by the unexplained. Mainstream media has been infiltrated by paranormal concepts. Shows like Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters, The Dead Files, and many others have introduced obvious strange events. Many films and documentaries have been produced to further explain the phenomenon. One of the biggest sellers of box sets based on a true story although dramatized was The Exorcism of Emily Rose. I recently visited Long Island, New York, which drew me to the history and horror story of Amityville. For many people this is a touchy subject, with even skeptics claiming to have insight into unexplained events. Paranormal phenomena are incompatible with a scientific explanation. However, empirical observation has made it somewhat concrete, both for ancient skeptics and original believers. The true story behind the film The Exorcism of Emily Ross is both fascinating and terrifying. The first document...... middle of paper...... ate words that each of them. Laurance returned home as her usual self and never again exhibited any of the troubling symptoms. Despite Laurancy Vennum's troubling agreement, she was able to live a healthy life. This was just the surface of the disturbing events that occurred between Mary's possession and Laurancy's. Thousands of stories containing exactly these paranormal incidents have become a part of popular culture and folklore. The scientific community supports some of these referenced paranormal activities. We should combine academic literature such as psychology and Scientology to either debunk or corroborate these events. The stories that took place with Mary Roff and Laurancy Vennum were told by several first-hand witnesses who had earned college degrees. Until today, the question of what really happened in Wateska? remains unanswered.
