Hello, my name is Rachael and I'm 16. I'd like to talk a little about myself, and my (rather limited) experiences with the paranormal.

I was raised in a secular household, with a religion-hating brother, which has rubbed off on me quite a bit, but that's something that's starting to fade as time goes on. Also, my family (especially my mother) has this strange luck that none of us can explain. Not necessarily bad luck, just very strange and slightly annoying at times...

Anyway, since I was 10 or 11 I've been interested in the paranormal, and have been creating psiballs since around then. For some reason, psiballs are basically the only thing I can do, everything else I've dabbled in has proved to be...not so successful. I've also been told that I have slightly above-average empathic abilities, but I'm still debating that one.

The only other experience that could be considered paranormal was a dream I had a year ago, in the summer.

The dream started out in my school's gymnasium. I noticed a man there, maybe in his late teens, early twenties, with short, layered dirty blonde hair. He was very resentful of me and whoever I was with there, and he was just very angry and negative in general. Eventually it got to the point where he made contact with me, tried to get me to do things I didn't want to, and tried to humiliate me. I don't know how it ended up happening, but we ended up on the floor, with with him, I believe, strangling me. It was one of the most painful things I have ever felt, with such a strong pressure on my neck and chest, to the point where I almost passed out. It was at that point that I woke up, and I still don't know what to believe. About a month ago, I had a similar dream which I suppose I incubated, and it is posted in the guild.

Other than that, I'm still lost and trying to find myself, and what talents I possess. If anyone would like to talk to me, please feel free to post here or PM me. Thank you for reading this!
