Responding to Stories of the Paranormal

Nitikorn Fongrattanakul

In my opinion, I usually have two ideas to compare everything. The first way is an agreement and second way is a disagreement. Accordingly, the paranormal and the supernatural things are possible or impossible. Some events are probably true but other events are difficult to believe, aren’t they?

My country, Thailand has a lot of supernatural stories. For example some people believe that there are angels in famous Thai rivers and inside holy Thai trees. Thai people often worship them because they can give them many good things such as a good life, good careers etc and they also are an important thing in their life.

However, other Thai people don’t think so because they think they are hoaxes and maybe coincidences, and the believers are blind. If you want to have a good life, you have to be a hard working person, they say.

In addition, I’ve watched one of the Thai scary movies and this movie is about a black magic ritual story and the main actress had supernatural powers and she could move many nails to inside humans’ stomach if she wanted to do it. I know though, it can’t explain how she does it.

In conclusion, there are lots of reasons for things being true or fake. Sometimes, we can’t understand how they are happening, or why they happen? What is the cause, human or the natural? However, we should believe them about fifty percent of the time and shouldn’t be immersed in what is claimed to be paranormal too much.

  4. Hello Nitikorn,
    I think that Thailand stories, about Thai rivers and Thai trees, are very nice stories. I believe that this kind of explaining the things that we don’t understand is very interesting. I agree with you that we have to give ourselves an opportunity of understanding these things. A lot of times, the fact that we don’t understand something doesn’t mean that this thing isn’t true.
