For the record I don't believe in the supernatural but I love hearing others people's stories and believe that most people aren't lying.
I've personally had a few experiences that I cannot explain and that, in the moment, were quite scary.
What's your paranormal experience?
It's not quite paranormal, but it was at least back then when I was a child very scary for me:
When I was a catholic 9 years old boy lying in my bed and thinking about what the priest has been talking about in church the other day I didn't feel anxious about the idea of being in hell and burning there but instead a different part of the threat frightened me much more, staying there for eternity.
I was so afraid of the thought of an eternity that not even the prospect of spending eternity in heaven was anything I could look forward too, it didn't seem really much better then a eternity in hell, and actually still doesn't.
9 year old you:
This terrified me as a child too
