How To: Log Paranormal Occurrences (The Basics)

Today Ill give you a simple, quick guide on how to properly, accurately, and most importantly, how to HONESTLY log any paranormal occurrences that you may experience. Logging paranormal events is helpful when you experience them regularly, especially if they are major events or if they happen to be violent or frightening. Personally, I didnt realize to log the events until YEARS after I started experiencing frequent and scary paranormal phenomena. I spent years denying it and trying to ignore it, trying to explain it away. Had I started to log it earlier, I wouldve been able to debunk things quicker and keep track of the true paranormal experiences I was having. 

Quick Tips: Below I will list some of the most important information that you should include in any log you keep.

Date (What day did this occur? Ex: Monday, September 26th, 2016)
Time (What time of day? Ex: 11:04 am // Between 11-12 pm in the afternoon)

*Try to be as specific as possible when logging the date and time. If you do not have an exact time, try to give an estimate of time, as seen above. 

*Try to log any events directly after they occur, or even better, while they are happening to give the most accurate and honest account. 

What happened (Explain directly and clearly what occurred. Ex: I was sitting on the couch, when I looked over to the hall way, a ball moved down the hall on its own.)

How you felt (What type of emotions or feelings are you experiencing during the event? Ex: When the ball moved down the hallway, I felt a sense of fear and anxiety)

Who experienced it (Its important to record who exactly experienced the event. If you are the only one home or the only one who sees it, make sure to write that down. Ex: My sister and I both experienced the event OR Ex: I am the only one who experienced this event.)

Senses (If possible, record any other things you sense while the event took place. Did you smell anything odd? Did you feel something odd? Did you hear any voices or sounds that are abnormal, or seem to not have a source? Any drastic changes in temperature? etc.)

* It is crucial to be HONEST when keeping these logs. I know it can be hard, especially when you may be frightened or confused to not put your fear into the log and accidentally embellish the event or make it out to be more than what it was. *

* Also, try to be neat about it, I, myself have been guilty of scribbling down an event, usually a rare one that actually scared me, only to look back and not be able to read it. So remember to stay calm. *

Pro Tip:

If you happen to actually see an apparition or entity, be sure to take note of what it looked like as well as the other info listed above. 

How tall was it?
What color?
Did it look human, animalistic, humanoid-like, etc?
How did it move?
What did it do?
Features?
etc.
