Why National Paranormal Day?

When there is an occurrence or incident which is not easy to explain using science and the same is not as per the normal norms, then the same is referred to as paranormal. And when we refer to the word paranormal, we immediately think of ghosts, spirits, haunted places, etc. However paranormal has a broader coverage which also includes any extraterrestrial activity as well into its fold.

It is surprising and yet true that almost every city in the world has its own stories of paranormal activities either observed in space during the night or in the form of hauntings and spiritual inferences. And yet there is a constant debate on the truth behind these occurrences, spotting of unusual objects, and other incidents. There are some who believe them wholeheartedly and there are those who vehemently oppose the very idea of anything paranormal. The day is when people who believe in the paranormal and the paranormal activities gather to share their experiences and discuss about these occurrences.
