First and foremost, I'm a "paranormal investigator", although haven't been out on the field for some time. When I was 4 years old, I had a "ghostly" encounter - footsteps, invisible friends and the figure of a dark, frightening man - and wanted to know what it was and why I was seeing it. Years later, I remembered those days and researched the paranormal, psychic phenomena, psionic ability, etc. Some people would consider me as "psychic" for what I know, see, feel and do, because during investigations I do insist that I know *nothing* about the ghosts supposedly haunting the house or location, and see what I can "pick up" on my own. If it's confirmed later, I'll do the investigation proper with all the equipment etc. and try and find out *why* the haunting takes place or its source, and whether other plausible causes can be responsible. I actually believe that *most* psychic and paranormal phenomena are mind- or energy-based and the two are interblended. I've actually had far too many paranormal and ghostly events in my life to list here, but have a website with some of the ones I can remember off-hand (site is down).

I believe in ghosts because I have seen apparitions on occasion since I was a small child. Don't get me wrong this isn't a daily thing. A lot of times I feel a presence more than actually seeing anything.
I sometimes have premonitions and hunches about things. One of my cousins wives called me one day and asked me if she was going to get pregnant with another child. I told her yes that I was sure of it and I was sure it would be a girl. I for some reason felt a little sad after talking to her and couldn't explain why. They found out she was pregnant about a week later and then she miscarried about two weeks after that. So, yes I believe in premonitions and psychic ability.
I can't say that I believe in supernatural creatures or mythological creatures though. I believe that they belong in myth only.
I do believe in angels as some of these guys mentioned.

I believe in certain things because I've read them in the Bible, but mostly, because I've experienced them first-hand.
I have, at times, had premonitions, sometimes in dreams, of things that came to pass.
At other times, I've been aware of an unseen presence. Usually it's friendly, but sometimes not. The friendly ones, I believe, are angels. I believe that the unfriendly ones are demons.
I also truly believe in miracles, which are all around us, if only we'd open our eyes. These are not always spectacular. In my own life, I've seen some lean times & miracles have taken the form of some need being met against all odds. I may have gotten a better paycheck than I expected. Maybe I was paid some $$$ that I was owed. Or someone was simply feeling generous. These things have occured at exactly the right time for me to pay rent or buy groceries, for example. I attribute this to divine intervention.

Sweetie, I spent most of my adult life roaming around the world. Sometimes in some very offbeat out of the way places. I have learned to keep an open mind. Cause as soon as you say something doesn't exist or something couldn't possibly be happening that's unexplainable, it's gonna stand up and slap you right up side your head!

Past lives, definitely.
Take for example you've visited a place for the first time, but you feel like you know about that place like, forever? It's different from looking at pictures of the place in papers or magazines. It's more real, and when you close your eyes and concentrate, you feel as if this place is evolving around you, existing out of time, It's just this feeling of peace, like the feeling of being home at last.
This theory, I've read, is the theory about "old souls", which they believe that when your physical self dies, your soul keeps coming back over and over again, and in each time, momories of the past gets stronger,, thus the sense of deja vu.

Karma. Don't know if you would call that supernatural or not. But I feel it's real. It has always seemed to be a force in my life, and since I figured that out and started consciously doing more good for people, my life has been a lot happier and easier.

Everything can be explained.It's just that the answers are not to the next man's/woman's likings or belief.So they challenge or they simply say "they do not believe that"."That is a bunch of bull sh*t."And it travels to the next person like a domino effect.I am islamic and the things I accept are not acceptable to most.Not even some muslims.But it is the truth.Maybe that is why most don't accept it.I believe in angels.The prophet muhamaad(pbuh) had gabriel as his angel.And he said that since your birth, there is an angel with you recording your good and bad deeds.So one day by the grace of allah I talked to him/her/it.And she /he/it answered and it simply increased my faith in allah.And I know it was my angel because he/she/it was accompanied by gabriel and michael.Two of the high angels ranged in rank.That is one of the reasons I follow islam besides the point where the GOD came to me.That is when I converted from agnostic to hanif-islam.I am 23 now.And I have been islamic for about 4 years now.And HE is not to be bargained with.And I know what he looks like.He looks like his word.He looks like he can do as he alone wills.With no form of existance but having his/her name perfected as ALLAH(THE GOD).So if you met me, you will hear me say out loud PEACE to THE GOD.How can you love something that created love and controls all.So I respect to the highest quality of my will granted as a friend of the GOD.And I LOVE muhamaad(pbuh), his first wife Khadija, and the prophets of old.They can apreciate it.As I apreciate thiers.None wholly knows how THE GOD thinks but he alone. I am half african american and chinese and not to be stereotypical.But it seems like natural order.And I think caucasian(derived from the caucus moutains in Asia) women are beautifull just in case you are.I watch deeeds and am not of the five percent nation of islam.THE GOD creates variety.Plus I follow the teachings of the buddha.To respect to my great ancestor.And he is not god, but "The Enlightened One".After an encounter with Allah, I will be damned if I worship anything but HE.Or SHE for the females.But I look to the earth as HER and The God as Him.And I keep it like that.Now that was my experience.So you can see why most muslims don't like disbelievers in Allah.(not to sound rude to you at all).Good trails on the path to righteousness if you choose that path.You just never truly know.None but allah knows all.And I accept that.Article of faith.SALAM-PEACE PS:I don't think like most.For most things I care not and focus on what will last for eternity.MY TRUTH to my "BE"ing

I am fully agreed with the sixth answer.Congratulation and welcome to you as a new follower of Islam..We must be careful with the type of supernatural.We should be prudent.There are many supernaturalists or medical men or women, practice as a witched men/women who used magic or witchcraft or hypnotist to influence their patients.They asked satans to help them curing someone and finding out the lost money or something.It is not allowed in islamic teaching,because we believe another god/satan than our God Almighty.They can cure our disease temporaly only,in a near future he/she will get the same disease.
They tricked or deceited us.by quoting some verses of our holy qur'an in order we can believe them blindly..
