Paranormal is an umbrella term used to describe a wide variety of reported anomalous phenomena. According to the Journal of Parapsychology, 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]
Paranormal describes subjects studied under parapsychology, which deals with psychical phenomena like telepathy, extra-sensory perception, psychokinesis, and survival studies like reincarnation, ghosts, and hauntings. However, as a broader category, the paranormal sometimes describes subjects outside the scope of parapsychology, including anomalous aspects of UFOs, some creatures that fall under the scope of cryptozoology, purported phenomena surrounding the Bermuda Triangle, and many other non-psychical subjects.[2]

In one word: hoax.
No paranormal phenomenon has ever been demonstrated, they were either miss-perceptions, delusions, or just plain fraudulent set ups.
