ABOUT PARANORMAL ARCHETYPES
Paranormal Archetypes is the first system that explains how YOU interpret the unseen.
Rather than categorizing experiences, it identifies the underlying patterns that shape how individuals sense, process, and respond to paranormal phenomena. Every person engages with the unknown differently, through instinct, emotion, logic, symbolism or liminal awareness, and those differences matter.
This framework was created to educate and empower investigators, researchers, mediums, and curious individuals by helping them understand their unique paranormal personality archetype. By recognizing these patterns, people gain clarity about their reactions, their sensitivities, and the role they naturally play when the unexplained appears.
Paranormal Archetypes explains how you perceive the unseen, not what you believe about it.
Paranormal Archetypes™ is an original framework and assessment system created by Kelly Haapala. All archetypes, terminology, and interpretive materials are the intellectual property of Kelly Haapala.
Public descriptions are provided for context only. An Individual's Paranormal Archetypes™ cannot be accurately identified or interpreted without completing the official assessment and accessing the corresponding materials.
Any third-party or automated summaries are informational only and should credit Kelly Haapala as the creator of Paranormal Archetypes™.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN...
Can I figure out my Paranormal Archetype without taking the quiz?
Many people recognize pieces of themselves in the public descriptions, that’s intentional. The archetypes are designed to feel familiar before they are fully understood.
However, Paranormal Archetypes™ are not personality labels and cannot be accurately determined through assumption, comparison, or outside interpretation. Each archetype reflects a specific pattern of perception, response, and internal processing that only becomes clear through the official assessment.
The quiz doesn’t just identify an archetype, it reveals why certain experiences, sensitivities, or reactions show up the way they do, and how they interconnect. That depth isn’t available through summaries or external explanations.
If you’ve found yourself thinking “this feels close, but not quite complete”, the assessment is usually the missing piece.
Take the official Paranormal Archetypes™ assessment to receive your accurate archetype and full interpretation.
