This makes no sense.
Paranormal is an umbrella term used to describe a wide variety of purported anomalous phenomena. According to the Journal of Parapsychology (Parapsychology Association), the term paranormal describes "any phenomenon that in one or more respects exceeds the limits of what is deemed physically possible according to current scientific assumptions." [1] The term is derived from the Latin use of the prefix "para", meaning "against, counter, outside or beyond the norm."
Many see the term paranormal as synonymous with parapsychology, which deals with psychical phenomena like telepathy, ESP, and survival studies like ghosts. However, the paranormal also includes subjects considered to be outside of the scope of parapsychology, including UFOs, cryptozoology, the Bermuda Triangle and many other non-psychical subjects.
So if you see a UFO, this means God is real? You don't make any sense.

What do you mean by paranormal?
The way I see if there is proof for some paranormal phenomenon, all you have done is proven THAT paranomral phenomenon (at which time it would no longer be paranormal)
If you want to prove god exists, you first need to define some observable quantifiable traits of god, then prove that those traits do exist and can only exist due to god.
Theists have yet to decide on a clear and consistent definition of god, so the rest is a waste of time.

Well, paranormal activity has been documented but it's still questionable whether it exists or not.
Hypothetically, let's say the paranormal exists. Would it prove that god exists? Not necessarily.
What if the body does have a spirit? A life force beyond what we are now. Maybe that life force is simply another way we transcend through life. We don't need a god to have our spirits roam the universe, through time and space.

No. First of all i can't answer this unless i hear your definition of what you consider to be paranormal. All i know is that there is no evidence for anything that is above and beyond nature and it's laws.
If i were to see something i could not explain through science. That doesn't mean that god(s) exist. God did it! Has been an explanation for things for ages. God did it used to be the answer for lightning but we now know better.
All through history we have seen natural explanations take place of supernatural ones...never has the opposite been true.
Even if there was something so strange that it was positively outside of the bounds of nature that would not prove any particular deity exists. It could be advanced space aliens for all we know.

The paranormal might show proof of their god but not the Christian God.

Are you thinking of some particular thing that you think is proof of something paranormal? Because I think that will never happen. All such "proofs" are eventually debunked.
But perhaps we disagree on the definition of "paranormal".

First of all, there's no proof of EITHER God or anything paranormal. Secondly, one does not necessitate the existence of the other.

You need to be more specific. What sort of paranormal activity are you talking about? If it is ghosts then that might disprove the existence of God. The reason I say that is if ghosts are here then why aren't they in heaven? Does that mean there is no heaven? If there is no heaven then where is God?

absolutely not.
There are actually many people who believe that the human body contains some sort of "spirit" or "soul", but they do not necessarily believe in God. Proving the existence and presence of a ghost would have no direct relation to God. (unless it was the ghost of Jesus or something, but that's still questionable.)

Depends on this hypothetical paranormal proof.
