Personally, no, I have not had these experiences.
True, science cannot answer every question, but that presupposes that there is a question to be answered. Despite my interest in the subject, I have not found any evidence for paranormal activity which both stands up to scientific scrutiny and does not have a natural explanation. Therefore, there is no question to ask.

Science has indeed advanced. And when it does, the beliefs based on ignorance retreat. Ghosts, spirits, witches, demons, etc. used to be taken for granted as being around us. Now science has shown us that no such things exist. Or rather, those who claim ghosts are real have shown us no evidence that such things exist. It's a persistent rumor based on vivid imagination, cultural iconography, suggestibility and fantasy-prone personalities. How else would you explain the metamorphosis of ghosts through time? They have changed because the creatures who invented them have changed.
Oh, and it's called "paranormal" not because science can't explain it but because it's a group of "phenomena" whose only shared characteristic is a total disregard for the laws of the universe.

Yes, on a couple of occasions. Once I went against all the rules and opened the ouija alone in my apartment. I also felt a great sadness while the ouija was open and I felt that the presence wanted to cause me harm. After a few minutes the lights went out and fire flew out of the light switch, causing the wall to catch fire. Coincidence?
The other time was at Gettysburg battlefield. My friend and I were visiting the historical area and were walking around reflecting on the carnage that happened there, all the men who died. It was a foggy evening and it had been raining earlier that day, leaving the ground soft and squishy. We could see our footprints in the soil. In the distance we saw a few people dressed in blue and gray uniforms walking in a column. I thought Cool, re-enactment, let's go see.
There were no footprints in the dirt from the column and there was no re-enactment scheduled for that day.

Yes, In fact I used to do a LOT of evp recordings back then. I caught a lot of things that I couldn't explain and some were down right creepy to where I hardly do it anymore. I do believe there are such things as ghosts in this world, but that's my opinion. I did have events where I saw and heard a figure walk into my home in broad daylight.
I go in and check to see who it is, but of course nobody is there. Strange, since it all took place a few feet in front of me. Heh, but that's just my stories and I can't really prove they exist.
Like I said, I do believe there are such things in this world.

Well from my expieriences, you may be seeing something.. a little visitor than may have something to be finished up either involving you someone in the house or the house itself. Ghosts tend to stay earthbound until a problem they are faced with is dealt with. I have expierienced both good and bad ghosts, bad- Things start flying around the room.. things you throw out because you are scared of come back in your closet with black eyes...things liek that Good expeiences- a quiet whispering that comforts you, words of encouragement from out of nowhere, a hugging feeling when you cry or need to be comforted.

I don't believe in ghosts persay, but spirits of my loved ones. I have "seen" my grandmother 2 times and felt her presence 1 time. Back in 1960 after she had passed away, my husband had to have surgery. I had never had to be alone at night. The first night I lay in bed, scared and worried. I was staring at the doorway, when suddenly a shape formed and though it was dark, I could make out the blue plaid robe! I wasn't afraid at that moment and as I stared it faded away. I felt a peace and calmness I hadn't had and went to sleep. I was alone for 2 more nights. The second time was when I had a car wreck. My car was slammed into close to a steep imbankment. As my car begin to roll, I jumped out and tried to hold on to the door but suddenly I was "thrown" to the side! The police later said if I had held on I would have been dragged under the car. I know that was my Grandmother, as my angel who saved me. The 3rd time was a repeat of first after we had moved. Strange house and husband had to go to work, on night shift. Scared but again, in bed staring at doorway, blue plaid robe. You see she always wore that robe! So yes I do believe in Spirits. Another unusual thing that happened to me to know there are angels or paranormal happenings was in 1996. We were driving to see my sick brother. We were getting hungry and there was only the long dark road ahead, no sign of any place to eat. I was Praying as I usually do just speaking aloud and said Lord, please we are starving. Show us a place any kind. Throw it up on the side of the road! We went over a hill and down at the end on a curve blazed a sign! "Carol's Diner" well, that was it! My name is Carol! We went in and had the best food, it was such a quiet place, even though there were people it felt like we were in the Twilight Zone! I remarked to waiter that my name was Carol! He didn't seem surprised at all. Later when I told my relatives, they said there was only a gas station and liqour store there. But that night God provided a Diner! sorry this was so long but you wanted reasons.

I think some people can "shine" more than others- some are more open to experience more. I would love to have some kind of experience with that- but I never have. I just dont think I "shine" much. But I believe that people do. I do however, fell the presence of my guardian angel from time to time. I cant explainit except that I know he is there and I have always felt him near.

I have seen shadows in the ladie's restroom where I work and heard boots walking across the floor when no one was there. There is a lot of paranormal things that go on all around us. I actually have a picture taken at work that has an image of a lady in the picture. I have a ghost at home that moves chairs and walks around all the time.(you can hear the footsteps)

Yes, I do believe in ghosts or spirits. While, I have only actually seen one ghost, I have had numerous encounters with 2 others.
The first, I used to live in a house, it wasnt very old, 50 years, and there was only one couple that had built it and lived there. So, the only way I can explain the presesnce is, I lived in a railraod town and on the land this house is on was where the railraod workers, the ones who laid the track, lived in shanty/tent towns, as they built the track. Alot of people died from injuries while the tracks were laid. Thats teh only reason I can think off as to why there would be a ghost in this house. But onto this ghost. I never actually saw him. I dont know why its a him, it just is. But, whe I would be laying in my bed at night I would feel someone/something lay down next to me. Like I could feel them sit down and move their feet onto the bed and than lay their head down. I was ten when we first oved in and the first few times I thought it was my little sister scared of a new house, but it continued for the 8 years we lived there. I still cant explain what it was, but it happened about once a month.
Second, was in the same house. My mother's boyfriend died from an accidental overdose of morphine. About a week after he died, I came out of my bedroom and I saw him walking into their room from the hallway. He had a twin brother and I thought it was him, so I went into the bedrooom and no one was their, I later asked the brother and he was not their that day. It was weird because the ghost was wearing the same thing he always wore, a white teeshirt, levi jeans and a pair of old workboots, exactly like his down to teh grout on them, (he was a tile layer person) coincidentally it was also the outfit he was cremeated in.
Third, I moved outta that house and into a rental with my boyfriend, now husband, and a friend. It was built in the 30's but I dont think that had anything to do with it. The first night we moved in I was home alone because they both worked the 4-midnight shift. I was sitting on the couch with a clear view straight back to the back door. It was about 11 and I hear the back door screen door open. It sqeeked so knew that was what it was. I looked up thinking maybe one of them was home early, and I watched and heard the lock click, the door opened and then shut and the lock clicked back into the locked position. My mom lived about two blocks away so I left a note saying this place was haunted, I was at my moms they could come get me, and I left for the night. Other wierd things happened in that house, never like that, but just little things. Someone/thing would bang on the living room window and not even two seconds later, another window in the house, then another, no ne could have got around the house that fast. Voices would say things, usually our names, and we'd get up and go into the other persons bedroom and ask what they had wanted and they'd say I never said anything. Once, another firned was over and I was sittting outside, he came out an dasked me what I wanted, why did I call for him?? I hadnt called for him. Once I was in the bathroom , which was between the two bedrooms you know connected, and I heard my roomate coughing like terrible, I knocked on his door and asked if he was laright and got no answer, so I went into the living room with the intent of going to his bedroom door and asking if he was okay, and there he was laying on the couch, I asked if he was chocking and he looked at me funny, and said he hadnt coughed, so i asked if he was just in his room and he said no. we all had little encounters, so no one made fun of anyone else about it, it was jsut weird.......well those are my stories, nothing to interesting but all true as I know it.
