So what got me on this path is somewhat interesting.
I was in my early teens and was raised by my grandmother. She and I lived in a house nearly a century old, and I always got the feeling something else was present, mostly in the finished attic. I always got impression the top floor/attic was the servants room at some point as was the case in many large homes like this that started out as one family. One evening I came home late and found my grandmother asleep in her bed, I decided to take a shower. Half way through my shower the bathroom door shook violently as 3 loud, solid bangs came from it, as if someone on the other side took a clenched fist and used the bottom of it to pound on the door. I recall peeking my head out from the curtain and saw the door reverberate on the third knock/bang. I yelled "yea?"... "what do you want?" thinking it was my GM. Silence. I quickly hopped out and opened the door to a dark house.
Thinking it was my grandmother; I rushed to her room and peeked in. Standing there still dripping wet I found her still asleep in bed. It then occurred to me it was not her nor did anyone else live in the apt with us.
After that, my mind opened up to things I didn't even consider before. From they the studies into the paranormal and occult then lead me to the practice of Wicca/modern day witchcraft. Which then lead me here.
