Hello, finally!!!

Well, hello!
I have been a member here for about 3 years, but never moved beyond reading the posts of others. I am seriously stuck on here on my days off work, it is totally addictive!
I thought it was finally time I introduced myself after lurking in the background for so long.
Sooo, I am jumpingbean, from Sussex, England. I have been interested in the paranormal/UFO's since I was a small kid. I grew up in a 300 year old house in the middle of nowhere (my parents still have the house) and saw all kinds of crazy stuff when I was growing up, half thought I was mad, until other people also saw the same things. This has led to an interest in all things on the 'weirder' side of life. It is an interest I tend to keep fairly quiet in real life, and it's not really a topic of conversation on the school run! My eldest son is now starting to experience some stuff too, which we are working through, as he feels a little confused/scared by it all at the moment.
I split with my husband a year ago, and i find myself on here more and more in the evenings, so I really need to jump in and get involved now!
And that's it for now (I hate these 'stand up and say a little about yourself' type things!!)
I look forward to 'meeting' you all, as ATS appears to be a community full of wonderfully interesting people!

I'm happy to give the first flag.

cheers

Welcome jumpingbean. I know what you mean about this sites addiction.

I give 2 pieces of advice.

Look at the links provided previously and 2)....try not to post while drunk and angry. You will wake up with an addiction you are afraid to look at. LOL.... thats from experience.
