The first post for Popular Paranormal, the newest paranormal blog on the internet!
This blog will be dedicated to taking a closer look at the paranormal themes that are featured in popular culture, both historic and modern. There are many obvious themes in movies such as Poltergeist, Close Encounters With the Third Kind, and Mothman Prophecies, however there are also deeper paranormal themes in places you may not expect to look, such as Plato's Allegory of the Cave, and The Epic of Gilgamesh.
The paranormal has been considered in a variety of lights over the centuries, from worship to hatred and paranoia, but in today's modern society we are experiencing a surging growth in popularity with the success of television shows such as Ghost Hunters, authors such as Jim Marrs and Whitley Streiber, and movies such as Paranormal Activity. More and more investigation and research teams are popping up all over the world, and with this development, more and more people are opening up and coming forward with experiences. It is these stories that drive the continuing growth of the field, and with it, the pressing desire for more information, more wisdom, and more answers.
Follow along with updates as we look deep into the realms of fantasy, history, and modern society to find the roots of the esoteric themes that creep into our every day world.
