The website is run from the UK, but has a growing international user base. It currently organizes more than 200 active forums and more than 195 land -specific groups that cover local legends, observations and folklore. Members have already shared hundreds of messages, personal stories and theories and the platform continues to grow through word of mouth.
Michael Hulse, the founder of the site, said: “I have had a passion for the paranormal for more than 25 years, but I always felt that regular platforms ridiculed or drowned in noise. There was no dedicated, respectful space to connect worldwide. I built paranormal land because these topics do it.”
Michael has a background in digital infrastructure, media and community stories. He built the paranormal country as a space for people who often feel isolated in their beliefs or experiences. “A sense of connection and validation,” he said. “Whether someone now had an observation, a dream, an almost – doors experience or just endless curiosity – they now have a place to share and find others like them.”
Although it is still relatively new, the site already has members who participate from all over the world -not only the usual United Kingdom and the American public, but also from places such as Brazil, South Africa and Eastern Europe. Discussions deal with twelve important topics, from psychological phenomena to ancient mysteries, and the content is fully driven by the members. There are also original articles, theme communities and live discussions.
“It’s humiliating,” said Michael. “The community grows daily and the stories that people share are incredible. The support has been organic but stable and I have had great feedback from people who finally feel and heard themselves.”
