I had my first paranormal encounter/experience at the age of two.  I am still today learning more about that experience.  I grew up seeing shadow beings.  I had a few paranormal experiences as a teenager as well.  In my early twenties I learned I could channel and would do a few channeling sessions with friends.  I have the gift of being able to sense when spirits are around sometimes.  I am a Reiki Master and also obtained a Reverend’s License in a 2 ½ year study (wrote two sermons) to protect myself as I do Reiki work.  I have studied Huna, Time Line Therapy, Tarot Cards, Gypsy Palm Reading and other modalities growing up.  I have the ability to Astral Travel and have three Near Death Experiences over my current lifetime.  I have a passion for studying mythologies of cultures as well.  I also have a passion for genealogy research.  I have the gift of also time traveling with my senses when I have gone to some locations.  I watched paranormal shows and thought that was cool how they could do that.  I joined a Facebook group called Ghost Ship Hunters and started looking into more things paranormal related.  I have had a few experiences where I saw UFO/UAP activity in the sky on around 5 occasions.  In 2012, I was on a cruise in Rome, Florence, Livorno and Pisa where I had a couple paranormal experiences.  Rome had an impact on me on a past life level.  After the Mediterranean cruise we took a transatlantic cruise back to the USA.  When we stopped in Malaga, Spain I had a very empowering paranormal experience.  Little did I know that 2012 would be the start of something big in my life that would change me forever.  In 2013, I had a few paranormal experiences in Southern Cathar France region.  In 2014, I went to Egypt for my birthday and had a couple paranormal experiences there that opened my mind even more.  In 2018, I went on a paranormal road trip with a friend Capt. Rob from Europe and had a blast and we had a few experiences of our own on that journey.  In 2019, Dirty South Paranormal reached out and offered a spot on their team for me.  I was shocked that people do this and went on my first team investigation the next day it feels like.  I am not with Dirty South Paranormal anymore but do thank them for giving me a start.  I currently investigate with six paranormal teams: Ghost Ship Hunters, Misfits Paranormal Research, Sirens of the Expanses, Southern Fried Spirits Paranormal, The Tribe and Potter Paranormal.  I have been on over 100 investigations since 2019 and have investigated in 8 states now (including the state I live in).  In April 2022, I did my first virtual life investigation of the USS North Carolina battleship with Eerie Expeditions Paranormal and Night Owl Paranormal Society.  I believe in collaboration with other teams and paraunity.  I have investigated hospitals, asylums, historic homes, a mostly abandoned military base, and other historic locations.  I recently in 2022 became the host of Exploring Our Secret Past with Carla Norris on the United Paranormal Network-Paralanx and recently joined the Parapost Central Network as well.  I have a YouTube channel and TikTok where I have shared my journey in the paranormal and my growth of learning how to make videos and investigate as well.  In 2023, I launched a rebranded podcast show called The Energy That Surrounds Us with Carla Norris on the Paranormal United Network and Parapost Network Central.  In 2023 I was given the opportunity to co-host with Kell Ridley a podcast show called Paranormal Vs on the same networks.  In 2023 I launched The Energy That Surrounds Us and Paranormal Vs on the Etalk.tv network and we have live radio shows on the Etalk.tv network as well.
