Are Aliens Paranormal? Do they Count as Hauntings?

So... Today it's all about aliens. Oh - I know, you're thinking GREAT, now she has ALIENS?! Now, I'm not going to say that we have had alien encounters - yet - but you never know, right? But - one thing I want to kind of talk about is how aliens sometimes seem to go hand in hand with ghosts and hauntings. This totally fascinates me and I'll tell you why:
I was watching another ghost show - which will remain nameless. If you're a fan, you'll guess it anyway. So... She says that she thinks that some of what the family is dealing with may be aliens.

WHAT is this?! I found it on Pinterest, but here's the link...

Normal People Don't Deal with Ghosts - Do They?

So, one of the things that I'm always challenged by is the fact that "normal people" aren't supposed to have to deal with ghosts. Right? I mean, seriously, like how crazy do I sound when I talk about all this stuff. Even my family says, "Oh Melissa, are you sure you weren't just imagining things?" My sister - gotta love her - only believes me because she and her husband have been at my house and experienced things. 

There are skeptics. I get that. I don't blame them. I've always been interested in the paranormal - and this isn't my first haunted rodeo, haha - but you have to admit, it does sound a little weird. Then, when I tell friends or family that I haven't talked to in a while that we had to have our house cleansed because we had a demon in it? Hahaha - you can imagine some of the really strange looks I get. But you know, we're just normal people.

As a Sidebar... What if it's Negative?

I've been telling the story of my "haunted" house. Going slowly and trying to recount everything for readers that I can, but I have a sidebar post. Something that is a current concern to me. Lately, I've started to worry that maybe - just maybe - there is something that is not so great hanging out. Maybe it's creating a cloud over our heads that we can't even sense. 

The reason I'm saying this is because one thing that always occurs to me when you watch those shows about hauntings is that they don't talk much about many of the other issues that are going on in families lives.

They Say They Aren't Ghosts...

Seriously, the spirits in my house say that they aren't ghosts. They like to be called spirits. This is the blog about how my family "met" the spirits in the house, the experiences we have had, and the paranormal investigators that have come to visit. 

If I can figure out how, I will include some of the EVP's that were captured, and if I get really good, I'll include some video that the team caught, as well.

So, let's go back - to the beginning. To the first time we saw the house, and how we knew that we would wind up here - in our haunted house.
