oh jeez that's bad!
For fun, I've gone to reportedly haunted places to try and experience something paranormal. At first no success. But, have had a few, minor, unexplained incidents. Of course, unexplained doesn't mean it's paranormal. No apparitions or moving objects. But have heard footsteps where there shouldn't be any. Voices talking when no one else was there. Nothing huge and there may well be other explanations. We did investigate and there were only 3 of us in a building that was locked. So, I'm not convinced but others would undoubtedly label them paranormal. There were a number of other things that we did debunk.
Spending the night in creepy old places were fun experiences regardless of whether anything paranormal happened.

I read an article on Cracked (grains of salt required :P) about how a lot of paranormal activities can be attributed to infrasound. Specifically machinery or natural phenomena which vibrate at 18.9Hz
we hear it, but aren't conscious of it, and our brains try and rationalize the sensory input, so it often results in feelings of dread or other visual quirks . . .

I was once sat in a nightclub, music pounding, and I saw myself from about twenty feet away, hand on chin. Out of the body and all that.
It may have been some particular effect of the drink, putting together an image from a mirror seen a few minutes ago. Nightclubs have lots of mirrors.

It's more cryptozoological than paranormal, and I didn't experience it directly, but every year when I go to my uncle's vacation home for a week, bigfoot sightings in the area skyrocket. It's getting to be annoying because I never see him. I would have thought I'd have seen him by now. The sightings peak on Wednesday and Friday night between 11:00pm and 2:00am. This is extremely frustrating because those are the exact times I go on my naked walk in the woods. One would think my chances of seeing him would be excellent. I'm beginning to think that bastard is deliberately hiding from me.
Well, now that I've managed to get rid of the fucking "pit pit check" ad that has no "close" button I can reply. 
Note to self: Never buy anything from Axe.
Anyway, I honestly have a hard time believing in the supernatural, but I really want to. Once though, I was sitting in a meeting at work, and the boss was up there talking just telling lie after baldfaced lie to us about something or other, and I just felt this huge burst of anger welling up inside of me. At that point, one of the florescent bulbs in the ceiling directly above me burned out and made a really loud buzzing sound as it did so. Coincidence, I'm sure, but I would really like to think I exhibited some kind of involuntary psychic power!

I've never make definite claims as to what I saw, but I did see some very strange craft of some kind above the Atlantic coastline several years ago while vacationing with my father. They were small red spheres, six or seven of them. I saw them outside of my hotel room, and I convinced my father that we should walk down to the beach and watch them.
Getting to the beach, there were maybe 15 other people crowded near us who had left their rooms out of curiousity as well (it was getting dark, and few people were still on the beach). These spheres were able to fly in any direction with seemingly no effort, and their speed varied. They seemed to be moving in a pattern as well, as the spheres would group together in a circular like shape and then leave one another, becoming a straight line across the sky, then back again. They did this for about 20-30 minutes, and then flew beyond the horizon. Shortly after, within minutes, Military helicopters began flying over the area.
Could have been anything, but it was a strange experience, and none of the 15 or so people on the beach had any suggestions as to what it could be.

One night I awoke and felt my whole body tingling and it felt as if something heavy was on top of me yet nothing was there at all. While the room was dark it seemed to get darker than it should normally get on a night with the moon shining bright. Then this creepiest feeling came over me that there was something evil around me. I thought maybe I was have a weird dream but then I called out to my roommate and he answered back. I asked him if he felt anything and he told me exactly what I was feeling was happening to me. We both said a prayer and this feeling left us completely. The next day I was concerned it was all a dream so I asked him about it and he said that it had indeed happened. Our other roommates had no idea that any of this had happened that night and they were in the room with us when this happened.
I've felt a something in a room with me on another occasion as a teenager. I was in a locked room and felt something over me. I looked up and saw nothing but I had a feeling someone was there. No one else was in the room and my parents and siblings were in another room at the time. no one had a key to my door so no one could've gotten in without me knowing it.

I can't say I have, but I've heard from many people who claimed to have seen ghosts.
When I was a kid, there were times my friends and I thought we saw something, but that could've been our imaginations playing tricks. One such incident was when we were playing hide-and-seek and saw a ghostly image of a man walking in the dark. I grew up in a rural area in another country where the neighbors' homes were close to one another). We were scared as hell at the time, but that could've been our neighbor playing tricks on us.

Sounds like sleep paralysis. I used to get that occasionally, the feeling something was on top of me or pushing me around the bed, even the memory of shouting out to it. Unfortuantly ever since I found out there was that explanation its not happened again - a pity because it was an interesting experience.
I like to keep an open mind. I once heard a first hand séance experience from a no nonsense former work colleague - a friend taking part with her was told how she would die. And it was a way no one could have influenced.

I heard a comedian ask once that if ghosts are dead people....then why do they have clothes on? Did their clothes die too?!?!
I haven't had a paranormal experience. On occasion I have had ONE normal experience though. 
You mean with someone other than my wife?
The word for a malapropism or the use of the wrong homophone in a way that makes a twisted kind of sense is “eggcorn” (a malapropism for acorn).
Examples of eggcorns include:
“butt naked” for buck naked
“free reign” for free rein
“supe up” for soup up (from the bogus etymology that the phrase comes from supercharging engines)
“pigeon English” for pidgin English
“hairlip” for harelip
“without any further adieu” for without any further ado
“all tolled” for all told
“peaked my interest” for piqued my interest
“forward” for foreword
“playwrite” for playwright
“copywrite” for copyright
“throws of passion” for throes of passion
You get the idea.
As for paranormal experiences, I've never had any. However, I do have a pair o’ normal kidneys. Which is good news at my age.
I experienced something "aranormal"; best left to a blue-moon night when Art Bell hosts' his show again, but I won't bother discussing it. Only as long as my eyes were open (which was only a few second 'cause I shut them to pretend like I was still asleep and didn't see what I just saw). Thankfully, none since.
