It is time for me to post once again. I have been busy trying to find resources online to help people to deal with the paranormal within the context of Judaism. I have recently been experiencing some new activity in my home... there seems to be someone or something that likes to hang out at the top of my stairs by my heater closet. We keep hearing the door bang as if opening and closing and also we hear knocks on the door. At the time all pets and people in my home are present and accounted for, so they are all ruled out as a source for the mysterious noises. Also it never happens when we are upstairs in our rooms, only when everyone is downstairs. I can't figure out what this is. I have also once again had things fly off of the cupboards in my kitchen and hit me, the floor and my kitties. Also when the noise upstairs occurs my kitties both stop and look up the stairs as if they are looking at something or someone. I feel very strongly that animals can see and sense things from the beyond that we may be completely unaware of.
So, I continue to try and not be frightened by these noises, but I have to admit that it is very unnerving at times to know that there are spirits roaming about my property. So far I do not feel that there is anything demonic here, and that I am not feeling threatened by them. I have a lot of relatives in the hearafter and so does my DH, so it could be family members.
Speaking of the "hearafter", I really want to see the new movie that opened today by that title. It looks like a good movie about the paranormal, a medium and ... the "hearafter". Also it was directed by Clint Eastwood and stars Matt Damon both of whom I have a lot of admiration for. I am including a link to a review of the movie. So take a look, as the article is very interesting. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_film_review_hereafter
I also found a trailer to the Hearafter so if you want a little glimpse of the movie in case you haven't already seen it on TV or the internet, here it is...http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810121908/trailer
When I get time I am going to put together a list of books, websites and other places where you can go to find information on Jewish viewpoints on the paranormal. So in the meantime, I'm really hoping to get some of you out there to sign on as members and to share with me any resources that you may know about. Also if you just want to comment, talk, etc. please do so. Tonight I'm watching Destination Truth, I love that show as Josh Gates and his cohorts always go to lots of spooky places! Now that is my kind of show, I guess I'm sort of hooked on shows about the paranormal now.

Calling all Jews who are interested in the Paranormal...
I know right before Shabbat is not the ideal time to post your first post on your new blog, so I'll have to keep this one short and sweet. I promise there will be more to come.
I am starting this Blog because I have experienced paranormal activity in my home, and I am Jewish so I looked everywhere for Jewish people to contact who had knowledge of the paranormal from a Jewish perspective. I found it quite difficult to find anyone to talk to about it.
So I called a group from Sacramento CA, to come to my home and investigate the situation that we were experiencing as it was at the time really frightening for myself and my family. B"H they were very nice people and there was a gentleman in the group who was Jewish who was very helpful. Now we still experience these things occasionally but I have learned a lot, so I am not frightened by it anymore.
I got to thinking though that there may be a lot more Jewish people out there in the same situation, searching but not finding any resources or support for this phenomenon. So if you think that you are experiencing the paranormal and need help to find resources please contact me here or by email. I am going to try and set up this blog as a resource for people like myself and you. Hopefully as I go along you can all help me too, so if you have any information or you are a paranormal research group who is interested in helping the Jewish community with this, please let me know.
I will be posting more in the near future, after Shabbat of course! So....
Shabbat Shalom to all of you out there!
