Definition of paranormal
: not scientifically explainable : SUPERNATURAL

It can be anything you've personally experienced: crazy ouija board story, UFO sighting, ghost sighting, demon sighting, angel sighting, etc.

I've seen UFO. Far from aliens. Just planes I say.

I saw a UFO in the American state of Illinois. However, it was 25 years ago

Plenty of times.
Ghost/spirit encounters for over 15 years, my favorite has to be seeing this little child spirit running back and forth thru the hallway in the ICU waiting room area. I could see right thru them, it didn't creep me out really.

Also heard two little girls laughing behind our trailer one night around midnight, no kids were out at that time. It was two distinct laughs, from what I was told it was two little girls who lost their lives in a train accident many years ago in the town I previously lived in.

Me and two neighbors saw what we belive what was 3 UFOs in the night sky. Watched them for a good 30 minutes til two of the lights dimmed and the other one shot straight up into the sky and disappeared.

Have also witnessed shadow people, I always get this eerie vibe from them almost like they want to hurt me.

What makes you say it was just planes? Was it moving like a plane? Did it have the blinking lights planes have?

Did you think it was alien or manmade?

A few.

But every time I say them, people just ask a bunch of dumb questions and call it fake so it's kinda annoying to type out nowadays.

I know two people who both claimed to have seen UFOs and claimed to have had their memories wiped afterwards. They're both friends of mine who have no reason or financial gain to be made from lying to me about this.

While I don't think they're lying, I think they definitely experienced something. But since I wasn't there with them, I can't say if it happened or not. That's what I've concluded anyway lol.

I don't really believe in ghosts anymore. But when I was a kid I once woke up during the night and for like 2 seconds, saw a strange woman standing next to my bed. Then she disappeared. It was probably just some brief sleep paralysis or whatever

shadow people i am more inclined to accept than ghosts. Onetheory I have heard is they are just people like us, in a alternate universe. Sometimes we see each other across the void like a bleed through reality. And we just look like that, to each other. They might be just as scared of you as you are of them.

No but my sister has.

Our great grandmother lived here http://setonvilla.com/wordpress/ during a visit back in the late 80s my sister entered the apartment ahead of us as we spoke in the doorway for a moment. When we entered she claimed to have spoken with a man on the daybed. Based on her description it was our grandpa (GG's son, our mother's father) wearing his favorite outfit. She was like 3-4 years old and had never seen a picture of him before. He died a year before I was born.

About a decade ago while at a friends house she was in the kitchen with the friend's dog when another dog appeared. Both of them reacted to this dog. My sister called out to the friend who was in another room. The dog vanished and by the description this was her friend's prior dog who died.

A few years back while getting ready to leave a party she had this feeling like she was being blocked. She said it was if she couldn't leave until she said goodbye to this one guy. Well she did and the feeling went away. He drowned in one of our lakes about 3 months later. I read about it in the local paper.

Im a sceptic but I can neither confirm or deny. I dont think its whatever we humans can think it is. But Ive had some stuff Ive witnessed to.

For example, my bfs house could be haunted. Something that happens almost every time there at night is a knock from upstairs, there are no neoghbors that could be the reason. Maybe some tentions that gets released? I dunno. Stuff has happend in the house that my bf has experienced like a flowerpot falling to the floor without any explanation, I even tested to see if it could fall when jumping beside it, it didnt even move a millimeter, tested putting it on the edge, didnt move.

What I experienced there that I cant explain was when we got home after a trip, I entered first, I heard clear footsteps from upstairs, walking towards to the bedroom, and I felt a presence. I was sure something was there.

Then Ive experienced some stuff at the old family house when we moved in there and when I lived there.

I've seen shadow people or shadows while walking home at night. Usually in the darker areas of the neighborhood is when I'd see them. I made a point not to turn my attention to it and ignored as best I can just so they didn't notice me. I doubt it was a person.

I believe pets who have passed on return to you. When I was 18, my parents and I adopted two stray cat. One was named Fatboy, he was such a cute cat and we don't think he was very old. He had this thing where he would scoot his water or food dish around if it was empty. He was the only one out of the 3 we had at the time who'd do that. Eventually he passed away due to stroke, not long after he had passed I would hear the distinct sound of the water and food dish that we had out on the porch for other strays being scooted around. It always happened at night, I'd turn the porch light on and it would stop. Turn it back off, I'd here it again. We had the porch door closed at the time so I knew it wasn't some other cat or animal doing it.

I think it was his way of saying he was ok and made it to the rainbow Bridge.

Fuck, I'm almost in tears just thinking about him.

My niece often talks about a relative that she never met and that she has seen them.

No, and outside of aliens, nothing else remotely makes sense or exists. I believe life after death is the complete inexistance of people. Unsettling? Sure. But you are what your brain makes you. When you die, your brain dies. It doesn't magically keep you in limbo to become a ghost or anything.

If people want to believe it, that's fine, but they aren't real.

Aliens make sense because anything out of this world could be considered an alien. Anything and everything that exists is made up of something. If there's something outside of earth that is part of the creation of anything else..... even particles that form say, rocks on mars.... you could consider even that alien-like.

So ghosts? No. Aliens? Sure.

dreams/nightmares sure

Yeah...don't wanna talk about it. Shit is out there.

Can't say as I have.

Interesting that people bring up aliens as paranormal when, if they do exist, there is no reason to put them in they category.

I only did to show a stronger idea of how my beliefs in things are. We've not been presented yet with like, the ideal definition of what an alien is, and people speculate alien sightings similar to ghost sightings. For me though, one is real in one way, the other is not.

I'd be very surprised if aliens don't exist. However, I'd be equally surprised if we had, as a species, had any direct contact with them.

Paranormal stuff though, I have no belief in.

Aliens have to exist, even at a molecular level. I can't see it possible that they don't.

Replace "Aliens" with "God, Jesus, and Satan," and I agree.

Mods are asleep, so time for more stories!

I once saw a triangular shaped object moving silently across the sky (during the day), it looked semi transparent (like the Predator's invisibility though much less obvious). I would not have noticed if not for the condensation trails from it's wingtips.

Nope and neither has anything else.

Not typically considered paranormal but religious and can't be explained by science

Way too many experiences with ghosts. For those that don't believe, I guess you're not open to it. I've seen them , felt them, seen objects move.

Never, and I disbelieve anyone who thinks they have.

UFO:
My dad was driving me home from school and it was maybe 3-4 pm in the late afternoon. Sun was still up and the sky was bright and blue with just a few clouds. I was maybe 19. On the freeway, we both saw this bright circular object fixated high in the sky. It didnt move so it wasnt a plane or a blimp. It just stayed where it was as we kept driving. Then it shifted to a cylinder shape. First horizontally. Back to a circle. Then vertical. Back to circle. We both kept staring at it wondering wtf it was until the freeway curved and we lost sight of it.

It turned my dad into a conspiracy theorist. He hasnt been quite the same since we saw it. Hes very religious so he keeps saying that aliens must be angels. We both would have thought we were seeing things if we were alone but we saw it together and it was not natural.

I have plenty of ghost stories but havent seen them myself. My siblings have though.

Objects will jump off the table occasionally around me.
I predicted the first 4 numbers of the powerball once while working at BK.

nobody in this topic has ever seen a ghost or demon or whatever, since they don't exist

No, because paranormal stuff is not real.

and I disbelieve anyone who thinks they have.

Edit: Aliens are way more likely because any living organism outside of Earth is technically an alien lifeform.
But shit like flying saucers and UFOs that visited Earth? No...

I grew up in a rural part of town, basically a street of spread out houses surrounded by fields and patches of woods. Sometimes late at night I would see UFOs way across some of the fields, they looked like floating pixelating orbs and were unnatural the way they moved. After the first few times seeing them I woke up my dad to show him and he was baffled, so of course he put me in the car and we were going down the road to get a closer look. At some point we lost track and they were gone. Never did figure out what they were, it was the late 90s so best guess is early drone tests. There is a tiny military airstrip in the same direction they started showing up.
