Have you ever had any seemingly paranormal experiences?
Disclaimer -- An agnostic myself, I don't plan on turning these around on you. This is just an out-of-curiosity, for-fun question.

I'm just asking because I have. I've actually been "exorcised" (not by a Catholic priest, but by a Native American Shaman) and there were some things I experienced that I can't explain. I don't think it points directly to the existence of any God, however.

When I was 6, my dad passed away. We went and sprinkled his ashes in the gulf off of florida, where we were surrounded by a pod of dolphins. The next day, my grandpa and I were swimming in the ocean, and we were approached by a dolphin, who came right up to us and smiled at us. it was so amazing! When we got back to shore to tell my mom, she came up to us holding a piece of coral shaped just like a heart. It was like he was telling us everything would be ok :)
Thats about the closest thing I can think of, but I kind of believe in reincarnation, and I totally think my dad was the kind of guy who would come back as a dolphin :)

I didn't subscribe to religion at all until a loose tether clamp saved me from flying out of a helicopter and being shredded by the overhead rotor blades while I was in the Air Force.
It was a one in a million bit of luck (or so I thought) that got me thinking about eternity and ultimately brought me to God.

Long ago I knew a man who would do psychic readings at parties and other social events. He was incredible. But, after knowing him for a few years, we went out for drinks. After a couple he started to explain to me what "cold reading" and "warm reading" meant and how he learned it.
It was all a simple trick. After that, everytime I saw him perform, I had to bit my tongue to keep from laughing.

Also knowing something I couldn't possibly have had any clues to, ignoring it and coming very close to getting badly hurt as a result of ignoring it.
But I definately don't attribute it to 'God'.

Nope. Nothing that couldn't be explained. I've never seen a ghost, or an aparition.

I am agnostic.
I can tell you I have had recurrent dreams that became reality.
I had one dream where I foresaw the death of my best friend, and a few more strange ones . IT IS VERY SCARY!

there are plenty of natural things that have not yet come to understanding but superstition is not one of them in my book

Yes. Gods were not necessary for any of them to occur.
