He didn’t not believe in the paranormal but he didn’t 100% believe in it either.
It wasn’t long after we moved in together that Deric had his very first paranormal experience.
Deric had fallen asleep on the couch watching football and I went to bed early because it wasn’t a New Orleans Saints game. Griffin our living cat followed along with me. Deric woke up sometime after the game was over and felt something jump onto the couch by his legs. Thinking it was Griffin he reached across to pet her and there was nothing there. He then heard something jump off the couch to the hard wood floor and scamper down the hall.
He jumped off of the couch and went down the hallway following the sound and found nothing! He came the rest of the way into the bedroom and saw Griffin sound asleep next to me in bed. He woke me up and exclaimed, “Your dead cat just came to visit me!” Nothing new to me, I brushed it off and responded with, “That’s nice, come to bed.” I rolled back over and she started shaking my arm trying to get me up and tell me what happened and I was like, “That’s great, congratulations. Now come to bed.”
That was my husband’s first paranormal experience and he has had several since.
