Yes and no. I believe events that are currently unexplainable in terms of our current science do happen. However, I think eventually that our understanding of the world will expand to provide explanations for many unusual phenomena. Just as the mind/brain could have no effect on the body in past thinking and the placebo effect has become well established in medicine and Body-Mind medicine is now a mainstream medical area of research so paranormal events (like hypnosis (before called mesmerism) will drop away.
Yes, I have had some personal experiences.

Yep I believe in it. I try to look at thing in a wide range. As the human race is still pretty new to this planet and we are still pretty stupid as things go we tend to dismiss or comfort ourselves against things that we do not understand, by witch hunting those who believe otherwise. Ie .. World used to be flat say anything against that and you were a idiot, a fool for believing in such nonsense. Man can one day fly, same difference, and in the scheme of things that was just yesterday.
Today we still have the same stereo type going on I believe what my government wants me to believe. The less people think for themselves the easier it will be.
Think that's why those who believe in Pagan ways are still persecuted, it scares people. Since most of pagan beliefs deal with paranormal.
Paranormal just means something strange , out of the ordinary for the most part. Since we don't know squat yet as a race why dismiss it so easily.
Just my 2 cents.

Yes I do. I have seen things in my life that have strenghtened my belief in the paranormal. There is so much out their. First open up your mind, and an ah-hah moment for some of you if there is no such thing as ghost or the paranormal, then there is no Holy Ghost aye!

paranormal experiences are like faces in the clouds. People tend to try to explain them away. Your brain has trouble accepting what has happened so it will do everything possible to explain it in some rational way even if there isn't any.
We need to feel in control of our environment and by letting a paranormal experience go unexplained, that would throw a monkey wrench in our comfort level.
Then some special people feel the need to try to explain everyone elses experiences as nothing. How sad is that.
Take your own experiences and write them down. Stay close with the truth because over time, you will begin to doubt that they actually happened. write it down in detail so false memories do not develop.

No I don't. Certainly strange or eerie things have occurred from time to time, but upon investigation and sometimes retrospection I've found they were not anything that couldn't be easily explained by normal everyday phenomena and/or a little power of suggestion thrown in. That doesn't mean there aren't mysteries yet to be explored, just that there is no need to be silly about it.
EDIT: I'm sure you do have proof that you believe in the paranormal.

I have not found any compelling evidence for belief in the paranormal. If you have proof I'd like to see it.

No, I do not believe in supernatural or paranormal events.
I do, however, believe I've met some "paranormal" people in my time. The world is full of wierdos.

As some people find it hard to believe, I find it hard not to believe. There are so many planets out there that we don't know about. I believe that there are billions of unknown planets out there that contain life and I believe it's possible that something out there is smart enough to travel the long distances between planets. I believe in everything. Ghosts, you name it. I've seen ghosts before. I've had psychic experiences. There are too many things out there that can't be explained. Why are people so agnorant? They need to open there eyes and their minds.

No. There is not one shread of proof. If anyone says that they have proof, then ask them where their million dollars is that they won from the James Randi Educational Foundation.

All of the so called "proof" that people say they have always, and I mean always turns out to not be proof of anything.
Every thing that happens can almost always be explained by a logical explanation and not an extraordinary one.
