For me it was this book. I bought it from some run down old bookstore while driving across the country with my family in like 1993. BONUS: purely coincidentally, my best friend also bought a copy of that book on a trip with his family that same month and neither of us realized it until we were both home.

As someone interested in science, I was excited by the prospect that there might be extraordinary things about reality that are far beyond our current knowledge.

I've always been intrigued with the the paranormal since I could walk. The first book I ever saved up and bought was a scholastic paperback on ghost sightings and cryptids. My first introduction to the web was Obi-Wan's UFO-free paranormal page, now simply inactive as ghosts dot org.

I lived on my grandparent's land and saw some spooky shit. Like figures floating above the ground, or lights zipping about randomly in dark rooms. My grandmother and aunt saw the same things. Apparently stuff like that ran in the family.

Did you have 'book fairs' from Scholastic in your school? I remember getting a book like that in like grade 4

Me, my brother, and my cousins huddled under a blanket fort reading this together, scared shitless out of our minds.

Hooked on paranormal/creepy shit ever since.

I grew up in a haunted house, then I hit 19 I started looking for answers. A year later I saw a UFO close-up with my gf. Been confused and intrigued ever since.

Besides a friend of mine who would goad me into reading creepypasta late into the night, I was never really into the spoops or paranormal.
It wasn't until I started meandering into the "magik" that I really took an interest.

Goosebumps books lol

being born with gifts into a family that's accustomed to that.

My high school girlfriend was the great-granddaughter of a somewhat famous 'psychic'. It was an interesting family-history and it got me interested in that sort of stuff.

living in a haunted house, with superstitious family

Books about cryptids, when I was in grade school, like 2nd or 3rd grade if I remember correctly.

I remember reading sightings about Bigfoot and I've always loved a good spoopy story that I can suspend my disbelief for and get lost in.

That's an easy one; my Dad used to take me and my brother camping all of the time. He told a lot of Ghost stories and we liked being scared.

Even when my brother and I got a little older we would "ghost hunt" in abandoned buildings but we've never seen anything.

>>18998870
My dad is a big believer in ghosts and aliens, so I grew up on watching UFO files and ghosthunters.

As I grew older, I realized that all of that stuff was complete nonsense, but my interest in it still remains. I don't believe in anything supernatural and I'm a skeptic, but the paranormal is good material for writing and I heavily enjoy reading creepypastas and participating in ARGs.

My parents loved the X-Files and since they always told me about it when I was young the love of the paranormal has stuck to me.
