Welcome to WikiParanormal... the Online Paranormal Encyclopedia!UPDATE: 07/29/2010: We are looking for a co-administrator and co-maintainer for "WikiParanormal". If you're interested, and have some knowledge of Joomla! or TikiWiki and would like to become part of this project, please let us know by visiting theparanormalsociety.org and clicking the "Contact Us" button on the top right. WikiParanormal has the potential to become a very large project and successful paranormal website. This is a great way for you to become involved in the paranormal world!
WikiParanormal is a collaboration of paranormal researchers, investigators, mediums, demonologists and those who have experienced the paranormal firsthand. It is intended to be a very accurate encyclopedia of all things related to paranormal phenomena. All submissions must be placed in the appropriate category.
Here are some helpful examples:
Articles outlining or explaining the technical of paranormal investigation, such as EVP, Infrared camera technology and other commonly used and proven equipment should be placed in "Investigation Techniques", with sub-categories such as "Technical Equipment". All things related to Demonology should be placed in the
emonology" category. You get the idea, right?
Now as we all know, the paranormal is not a proven or exact science. That's a given. But we need to keep two distinct areas apart: Those that we consider "factual", from a from a historical standpoint, based on experience and historical documentation and those that are considered experimental or personal experiences. An easy way of looking at these two areas would be documented/historical and experimental/personal experiences.
Some areas of information will be:

We will create the main categories and place-holders and from there, content will be added.
And who provides this information and contributes to the building of WikiParanormal? Everyone does! You have the ability to create and edit content, just like the phenomenal "Wikipedia" that we all love. So don't wait. Go on, create your account and get started adding some awesome paranormal content. Just remember to place things where they belong. And remember to keep things as factual as possible unless you're submitting a personal experience or story or something related to new experimental technology.
First, create your account. You'll need to verify your email, then sign-in. Once you're in, go ahead and create your profile. You can add a personal image, an avatar and links to your social media sites (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube).
Now you're ready to begin creating. Click the appropriate tab in the menu above, then follow the prompts while creating.
HINT:
For historical or proven information (hauntings, demonology, occult, etc), you'll need to create "Wiki" content. For personal experiences or any type of article, click "Articles".
If you want to write in your personal blog, hover over the menu item "Blogs", then click "Create/Edit" and begin writing your blog post. The blog is yours, about whatever you want, as long as it's kept clean... and try to keep most blog posts related to the paranormal. We're very flexible with this considering that this is a community-driven site, and we want you to have fun too... just don't stray into the unacceptable area. Also, please try to keep your spelling accurate.
All created and edited content are reviewed and approved by the admin or moderators, so will be a small delay before your content is published. Exceptions to this is if you're a moderator.
More help will be added soon. You can always contact us if you need any help with making your way around here.
