So I've been having my own issues with mystical phenomenon happening in my life. I've been going off about it lately as of posting this. And it wasn't until I went to r/Paranormal and was lambasted for my accounts that I realized, "okay, if the subreddit DEDICATED to paranormal activity is calling me out for being batshit insane, then who the fuck will take my story seriously?" And so I pondered and pondered until I realized...

Victims of unbelievable things need safe spaces too! Because while I absolutely understand how anyone outside of myself would think I'm an absolute lunatic for believing the things I do, to me they're very real. And to other victims of unbelievable things, they are very real too. And so I created this as a judgment free, question free zone for people to talk about and share their experiences.

There are two critical rules for this subreddit. There is to be no judgment for people's held beliefs regardless of how irrational, over the top, ridiculous, or unbelievable it might be. Even the people who really do have made up stories need sympathy too. Then in the same vein there is to be no criticism, critiquing, questioning, harassing, or doubting an individual's experiences. There are plenty other subreddits which subscribe to critical thought, and this is not one of them.

And so that's basically it. If you have an experience no one has ever believed you on, come on by and take a gander! Maybe make a post or make a few comments. You'll be more than welcome here, and you'll be offered all the respect as if we truly did believe your fantastical story and account of events right there with you.
