New member here :)

I have been reading this forum for ages now - its great for wasting time at work (not that I am encouraging that if my bosses are on here )
Had no major lifechanging experiences..couple of oddities when I have been out on a ghost hunt, but nothing i would consider to be something that completely revolutionises the way i see things.
Saying that, I am completely open to anything being possible if there is proof.
My areas of interests (that have been fed well on here) are UFO's and space oddities (there you go Bowie), conspiracies and cryptozoology. I also, as mentioned, am curious about life after death and the possibility of spiritual hauntings.
I am grateful to be here and look forward to hopefully contributing something of interest - even if im wrong!

thanks for your replies.
What made me post now and not before?
I really dont know. I kind of thought of myself as bubbling along on the surface of information without needing to respond to messages etc, i was happy to just read. But i thought it was kind of selfish not to at least put back something, so here i am.
I havent joined to suddenly announce i have discovered a block of flats on mars, or proof that Bush and Brown are child eating lizards (although that would be something eh?!).
Thanks once again for the replies!
