why the paranormal intrigues me

for many years, I had a interest in the paranormal field. I believe in spirits but not ghosts it's weird I know because people are saying "aren't they the same?" Well they might but I think there's a difference. A spirit can be any entity, a ghost needs more energy to form an actual figure to protray to live up to it's reputation. I am familiar with the equipment and vocabulary that comes along with the paranormal field. Like what a rap, incubi/succubi, EVP, cold spots are etc. There are shows I like to watch (some anime too believe it or not) like Black Butler, Ghost Stories, Ghost Hunters, A Haunting etc.

I may have had a few experiences that turned me from skeptic to believer. To all the skeptics I've only got one thing to say: "there are some things that logic can't completely prove, so maybe it would be best to believe in something that could be true, (or may not whatever works in your favor)" For me, I think of it like this, I believe in the spirit world or other dimension that co exists with our own to make me sleep a little easier at night. If I do leave this earth I can end up in that afterlife. which makes me think what that prayer came from
"now I lay me down to sleep,
if I shall die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take."

this does not mean I am changing religions because that would go against the commandments but enough of that. I just think that "heaven" can have one or many levels the same with dare I say it, "hell" I remember a Greek/Latin (forgot what culture it came from) a tale about this messenger who accompanied this entity and they went on a journey through the different levels of "hell" and the deeper you went, the colder it got. Ironically enough, each level was designated to that specific sin ungrateful souls committed.
