A slightly awkward introduction

Greeting ATSers, I've been lurking around these forums for a few months now and after reading so many interesting posts I decided to join the big conversation.

My name is Bethany, I'm 23 and from Northern Ireland. I spent some time living in the United States as a child and I do believe that is what drew me to the world of conspiracy and the Unknown, especially North American cryptids. I had a sever spinal injury when I was 21 and as a result I have a lot of free time to indulge my inner conspiracy theorist.

My main interests are down the line of Cryptozoology, UFO's, Paranormal Phenomenan such as ghosts, entities, time anomalies and psychic abilities. I find it hard to walk away from subjects I feel passionately about and as a result I can be found having religious, spiritual and social issues debates in a manner which can sometimes make me come across as sarcastic, cold and extremely stubborn, other than the latter I promise you it's just me getting way too involved in a discussion.

I'm hoping to meet some other people with similar interests and hopefully not annoy too many people with my strong opinions. I am always up for learning something new from people with experiences differing from mine and I can't wait to continue reading the many personal stories of the members of this website.

Slightly awkward?

More like waaaaaaaaaay awkward...

Bethany is such a beautiful name.

Sorry to hear about your spinal injury... will you be talking about that sometime, I hope? I'm curious.

Either way, cool intro and welcome to ATS!

I hear that lurking is bad for the back!

Welcome to ATS!

Enjoy the show! Come for the posting and stay for the bacon! Remember to leave the place in a better state than you found it!

good evening, hello

Heya Bethany!

Welcome to ATS. You sound like you enjoy discussions about 'fringe' subjects, and that is the first cousin to conspiracy.

No worries on digesting all these links. When you have time, they might be useful for you.

I had 2 discs collapse on my spinal cord with no reason for the injury, I was unable to walk for a month but I can do a good bit of normal stuff again, I just have to take it easy or the pain from nerve damages gets overwhelming.

Thank you for the warm welcomes everyone

Welcome to our humble abode officially and by the way are you single? I mean I have torn back muscle so theres that and I know where to go look for some bigfoot action. I also have some psychic abilities and love to sleep alot. I should also mention that I love rainy weather and we both live in rainy places. Ok now I am just making wild tangential connections here but I hope to see more of you here in the forums now that you stopped ghosting.

Welcome to ATS/ I hope you are not having daily pain.
Bw careful with the spirit world. I was visitedbythem for several months non stop, about 6 years ago after the Neighbor did something and evidently opened up a portal. They are gone now and I am glad. Many witnesses over here and next door. The neighbors moved away. Again... Welcome

Ps I am a McCarty on my Mothers side

That's a very good introduction.

Pleased to meet you, Bethany. Looking forward to seeing your thoughts on many topics around the board.

Any questions don't hesitate to contact me, or any of the staff, and we'll do our best to help you.

Not awkward at all, nice to meet you! Sorry to hear about your injury. Best of luck in your journey here

Welcome to ATS! I have seen a bigfoot in the flesh, it will change your life. I also have spinal and other injuries and after 23 major surgeries pain is my life. I am glad you recovered and are able to walk. I often think about it when I am in pain how much worse off others have it that can't get around or do for themselves.

Anyway, look forward to seeing you around the forums.
