Do you believe in the Paranormal?

Such as Ghosts, UFOs, Extrasensory perception, Telepathy, etc.

And yes, I do believe in those! =D

Update:

I wouldn't say it's a 'nonsense' word or anything, when I say paranormal or supernatural, I am just asking if you believe in things that science cannot prove.

Such as, no one has completely proven that UFO's exist, or that Ghosts exist, but there are thousands of people who do believe in them.

    No, I believe any sort of "UFO" or "ghost" or any sort of "paranormal creature" is a demon. Demons can look and sound like anyone or anything!

    Oh & I have one experience..

    I was walking back to my room one night, when right near my doorway was something that looked like the Grim Reaper..It kept staring at me, and I just stood there for about 10 seconds..when I finally ran to the closest room and looked into the mirror, and it was still there but it looked like it was coming closer.. When I turned to face it again, it had disapeared. It looked like it wanted to kill me, yet mocking me at the same time... It was pretty scary i'lle tell you that. *shrudders*

    But it did relate to my life, so i'm kind of glad for the eye-opener ...

    I don't believe Unidentified Flying Objects should be included in paranormal as some things which are unidentifiable by the general population are, possibly, known to NASA and originated by them. Many UFO sightings have been proven to be weather balloons, reflective light, etc.

    If you believe ghosts exist I wonder if you could explain what their purpose could be? I know ghosts don't exist but do know that Satan's agents, demons, do exist - they are the fallen angels who joined Lucifer's (Satan) revolt against God when Lucifer wanted God's power - Eve, also desired God' power and knowledge which is why she ate the forbidden fruit. The Bible warns Christians they are involved in warfare not against flesh and blood but against the rulers of darkness in this world and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (Ephesians 6 vs.12).

    ESP is defined as an "apparent power" so isn't scientifically proven, nor is telepathy. The definition of paranormal says it, also, isn't proven. People often use the term paranormal to describe that which is unfamiliar to them, particularly if something happens while they are in an anxious state as anxiety affects perception and judgment. When one considers that most people, being held up at gun-point for a brief amount of time, can't identify the person holding the gun due to their focus on the weapon - it does explain how over-concentration on one detail causes an inability to identify another important, relative, detail.

    The problem here is that you're not really explaining your terms except through examples, and those examples themselves aren't very well defined.

    If by "paranormal," you mean "supernatural" - I'd have to point out that that's a nonsense word. If something is "real," in any practical sense of the word, then it is part of the natural world. Being "outside of nature" or "beyond nature" simply doesn't make sense - such phrases just mean that you're using too limited a view of "nature."

    So - the bottom line is that I think you should think a bit more about just what it is you're asking about.

    I believe in something... I was lost on a walk and it was getting dark, and on my way in the direction I was sure was right I could hear drumming. I didn't believe that someone was nearby beating a drum or that someone in a house north of my location could be drumming and the sound would carry over the trees to make it sound like it wasn't too faraway. I followed the sound as best I could, chasing it but never getting any closer until I made it to the four-way path that I always pass but never turn on. Something made that drumming noise, either to get me back before it was too dark or to guide me away from a bear or that white wolf or whatever because I didn't hear it anymore when my mind was set on getting back home.

    Ghosts and Orbs DO exist! Lemme tell ya a little experience I had.

    One night...I was sitting in my kitchen have a smoke and drink before I went to sleep...it was around mid-night...lights were off...except a night light. Im sitting there and I have my cell phone and I am texting someone back and forth. The person I was texting lived next door...our walls were connected. She sends me this text asking "can you feel me?". I look towards the doorway of the kitchen...towards the wall where she lived and I see this white thing floating towards me...it was about the size of a human torso! I was mesmerized by what I was seeing...my eyes started watering...my nose started running...I was getting chills! This lasted for 3 seconds before it disappeared!

    It was like a cloud....glowing in your house...but it was dark in the kitchen.

    I still get goose bumps when I tell people about it.

    yes. but only coz ive experienced the paranormal once.

    i was walking down the road, extreme sunlight, midday, no possible way a shadow could form because the sun was directly above me, and i saw a black shadow moving across the road for about 5 seconds.

    there isnt an explanation for it except it was paranormal.

    but im not saying i see ghosts or anything. it never had happened before, and never has since, but once you experience a paranomal experience you dont go back... although, i believed in the paranormal before it happened.. so yes!

    No I don't believe in Ghost and Aliens but I do believe in Telepathy and some extraordinary things that humans can do. I believe that humans has a lot of capabilities. No human reached the maximum percentage of our brain. I even heard that Einstein only used 8% of the human brain and Einstein is one heck of a human. The remaining 92%, who knows what could we do; Maybe someday the series " Heroes" may come true; I hope ^_^.

    Take the entire list of unknown/paranormal EXCEPT for ghosts/spirits and throw it away, and that's my philosophy. On rare occasion I have witnessed or interacted with a spirit, but I cannot do it at will; they come to me. It's not scary, just amazing.
