Individuals can interpret the paranormal in personal ways regardless of their existing faith.

“It really just depends on the person, but anybody can take the par paranormal like however they want depending on what they believe in their personal lives.”

The belief in an afterlife provides hope and serves as a secular version of finding religion.

“It was my my version of finding hope. And I was like, wait a second, if I can prove this to myself and now that I have over the last couple years, what if I could prove this to somebody else?”
