This month is an interesting month to write at LoveToKnow Paranormal. When I first started writing at LoveToKnow, this was the first channel that I was hired into, based on my background and experience with investigating and writing on paranormal topics. Once I moved on to become a Site Editor and then a Group Editor at LoveToKnow, I was not bestowed the honor of taking over the Paranormal Channel. However, I’m glad I wasn’t because the current Group Editor, Kelly, transformed the site into a tremendous collection of articles that, for the most part, handle paranormal topics in a very balanced and reasonable way – a very rare thing in the paranormal field.

This month, the collection of topics include OBE experiences and astral travel. These are normally subjects that I would shy away from. However, after doing a certain amount of research on these experiences, and the anecdotal stories along the way, I quickly realized that the subject is an fascinating one. In fact, as I detailed in the article for LoveToKnow, in many cases some of these stories included OBE travel to locations and events that were real. The experiencer was able to outline specific details of locations and events that they couldn’t have known about because they were nowhere near the location of the event.

This month I’m working on about four articles for LoveToKnow on the topic of out of body experiences. I find the subject matter fascinating, and the variety of beliefs that incorporate some form of astral travel is interesting as well. While there are certainly modern day cult-like groups that partake in weird new-age rituals involving states of psychic energy or aural states of energy, there are also other fascinating groups that attempt to take a more scientific approach in examining the phenomenon. It’s these groups that are the most intriguing, because they attempt to examine the experiences in a methodical and scientific manner rather than referring to the experiences as though the source is of the experience is already known as something spiritual.

So, please read through my LTK article on Out of Body travel, and if you’ve ever had such an experience, I’d love to hear about it in the comments section below.
