As a self-described spooky girl, I take anything relatively paranormal extremely seriously. I mean, when I was little, I had my mom take me to cemeteries to "get to know the people there." Yes, I was a terrifying child (sorry mom). I have definitely always known there is more that lies beyond our mortal realm.

Perhaps you stayed overnight in a hotel that was said to be haunted, which you thought was a load of garbage, when a phantom greeted you during your visit?
