My name is Nelly Cardinale and I was a closet Paranormal enthusiast until 15 months ago. I decided to come out of the closet when I joined MYSPACE.com for the first time and met many people who were just like me.

I had my first Paranormal experience when I was eight years old. My four year old sister and I both saw and heard a female child shadow ghost in broad early morning daylight walk across the wall in our living room, then walk across a dark hallway and step into our parents bedroom even though their door was closed. We actually heard footsteps as the apparition was walking.

After the apparition walked into the bedroom, we both looked at each other at the same time and said,"Did you see that"? We then knocked on my parent's door to tell them what we saw. They were not to happy about being awaken so early and of course did not believe us. We quickly learned not to tell people about these things.

Since then, I have had many other Paranormal experiences including psychic visions, premonition type dreams, knowing ahead of time when people around me would die, overhearing a telephone conversation informing my family of someone's death 5 hours before it occurred in real life. seeing a full body apparition in a mirror that looked as human as you and I and being poked by my grandmother's spirit on the night she died.

One night, I was in danger at 3:30 AM and was able to send a telepathic message to my best friend who was fast asleep. She suddenly woke up and related the message she got to her husband. She said, "she did not know who was in danger but felt that someone invaded the home of a person she knew". Her husband told her ."Not to be silly, but to go back to sleep".

The next morning she learned that it was me that sent her the message and that my home had been invaded right at that time of night.I never knew I had that ability until this incident occurred. I also never realized I sent a telepathic message until I posted this story on several sites and people pointed this out to me.

These days, I am trying to learn as much as I can about Paranormal topics and am talking to everyone about my experiences. I no longer fear being called a liar or labeled as mentally unstable.

I teach first and second year college students and these days I am even talking to my students about my experiences. Before joining MYSPACE, I would have never dreamed of doing this. To my surprise, many of them have also told me about Paranormal experiences that they have had.

I hope to meet more people here that have had similar experiences to mine so I can continue to learn as much as I can about Paranormal topics. I am really hoping that someday, someone can prove that there really is life after death. I am very happy to have joined this KPI as an investigator in training.
