# 4chan-Paranormal-Conversations
Dialogs taken from 4chan's "/x/" Paranormal image board. The conversations in this dataset occured between 2021 and 2022.
As the name suggests these diaglogs are largely related to esoterica and the metaphysical. In online forums, conversations can distantly diverge from the original topic; as a true respresentation of this specific online community the dataset includes these diverging dialogs.
### Warning:
The content of the dialogs can cause offence.
## Columns:
#### messages
  * Dialogs from the forum, back and forth conversations constructed via direct replies.
#### keywords
  * Keyword analysis of the thread from which the dialog was taken. Providing more context to the discussion.
  * The number of keywords is related to the length of the thread from which the dialog was taken.
