We also have scheduled chats which we will hold regularly. Keep your eye on this page for the next scheduled chat!
Are there any rules?
There are no real "channel rules". All that is asked is that people keep an open mind, and don't ridicule other's opinions, flame or say anything offensive.
We like to have fun too - sometimes the chat is Off-Topic but when we're talking about the paranormal, we get right into it! :)
