While she was driving!? That truly is paranormal...

When my dad sweetly went to fill my car up the next day, it only took a half tank. Now how the heck can that be?
They filled the tank the next day! Not, while she was driving!

My last home, was an older character styled home. I was really excited to move in, as I love the quaint look and feel of the older styled homes.
The first day we were into the home, after everything had been moved in, friends came by to help with sorting and putting things away. We were all sitting at the kitchenette table, where to the left of it was the long hallway down past the bathroom, past the door that led to the basement to the backdoor.
My friend who was sitting closest to the hallway kept glancing down the hallway, looking quite disturbed. Suddenly she said, there is someone in the basement, a man, I just saw him at the top of the stairs. I laughed, so did everyone else, but she was serious. And seriously creeped out.
The basement was more or less unfinished still, and was basically a storage area, with a laundry area. There was no way to get into that basement other than coming in through the backdoor and then go down the stairs through the door at the top. So, I know, there was no one down there, nor any chance of someone sneaking in to pull a trick. Basically when she said this, I just thought silly friend, and promptly forgot about it.
Several days after moving in, late in the night, I was awakened to screams coming from the basement, my daughter at the same time came running into my room freaked right out, because she had heard screams as well. I pretended not to have heard a thing and just comforted her, telling her that it was a bad dream. I do know though what I heard, and it was directly below our rooms coming from the basement. No imagination made that happen.
Another night, I was having an insomnia moment, and couldnt sleep, but was laying in my bed when I heard banging coming from the kitchen. I thought to myself, what the heck is my girly doing up so late, so I got up to scoot her back off to bed. There was no one up nor awake, both her and her cat were sound asleep behind her closed door, so there was nothing alive and awake in my home to make the loud banging noises I heard.
I thought geesh.. calmly spoke to the room saying.. look.. I have to sleep here, so stop it, then went back to my room. I refuse to be afraid of unseen things, as I grew up with it, and decided long ago that I wouldnt allow anything to scare me, even if I couldnt see it. I am not schizo either.. smile.
My daughters friends did not visit often in this home, as they always did before, some of them had practicaly lived with us before, so it was odd for them not to be over. They had my daughter over to there home more often telling her that they were afraid of that basement, and got creeped out just walking past the door. It was clearly visible looking at them that they were afraid.
So, although some will say.. woweee.. great imagination.. I do know what I experienced did happen, and I heard what I heard.
This is the funniest part about the whole situation, after this happened, my daughter was convinced it was an old antique king james bible that I owned that was the cause of our problems. I had picked it up many years before at an estate sale, because it was such a great looking book, a teachers edition with alot of other cool and interesting stuff in it and very old. She said it was posessed, and tried to throw it out on me several times. I had to keep retrieving it from the garbage, or off the back portch where she had put it. I kept telling her though, Ive had that old book long before you were born, so its unlikely to start causing problems now.

A woman thought there was an intruder in her son's room, but there wasn't. Why, what's your take on it?
Sometimes when you hear a story and it sounds so ludicrous,bizarre or unbelievable, there should come a point where a person says I shouldnt debunk the experience because i havent experienced what they have. Just like when a trained police officer (see below) records an image and offers his opinion about what he saw- we might not agree but to dismiss it as imagination I think is dead wrong.It leads to taking the viewpoint that its impossible for an inexplicable event to be supernatural (for lack of a better word) I dont believe people are that stupid when it comes to identifying things that are extraordinary and unexplainable. As if we know everything! Just because we havent experienced what others have doesnt mean it's BS.

Ever have a "paranormal" event or experienced something unexplicable?
Yes, but I think it was the 3rd hit of acid,.....
Seriously though, weird stuff happens all the time. Coincidences. Quite a number of people have told me I can read minds, you know, finish their sentences, give them what they ask for before they do, etc. It's kinda funny to me that they think it's something paranormal when to me, it's just anticipating where logic meets emotion. Or something like that. Come to my seminar, one day only, $1200 cash. lmao

I'm not sure why. It sounds like you're saying the more implausible a story is, the more I should accept it as true. I hope I'm misunderstanding again. In any case, there was nothing "ludicrous,bizarre or unbelievable" about the strange case of the woman who thought she saw a cowboy but when she looked closer, it turned out she didn't.
Just like when a trained police officer (see below) records an image and offers his opinion about what he saw- we might not agree but to dismiss it as imagination I think is dead wrong.
Perhaps, but to accept his opinion as fact is just as wrong.
It leads to taking the viewpoint that its impossible for an inexplicable event to be supernatural (for lack of a better word)
Most of the cases recounted here seem to be taking the opposite view, namely that it is impossible for an inexplicable event (or in many cases, perfectly explicable ones) to be explained by natural means. People who have no explanation for something they experienced still adamantly refuse to believe that the event didn't defy the laws of physics. I find that bizarre.
I dont believe people are that stupid when it comes to identifying things that are extraordinary and unexplainable.
No, but people often see patterns where there are none. And despite huge advancements in human knowledge people still believe in ghosts, demons, djinni and various other imaginary beings. They impose these beliefs on their experiences.
As if we know everything! Just because we havent experienced what others have doesnt mean it's BS.
No, but it neither does it mean that those who claim to have had the experience are the best ones to interpret it. People are quite commonly mistaken about what they have seen or heard, and it's insane to jump to the conclusion that whatever it was must be supernatural in origin.

I actually have a rather good example of something "supernatural" that happened to me, that wasn't supernatural at all:
I used to have a rather large mirror on the wall in my hallway, and so every day before I left the apartment, I'd see myself in that mirror.
For some reason that I can't remember now, I one day had to take the mirror down, so now there was only the bare wall there instead.
The next day I was in a hurry, and as I took a quick glance at the mirror as I used to, I saw my own reflection for a fraction of a second. Only there was no mirror there! Just the wall. It was just a fraction of a second, but my brain was probably so used to seeing my reflection that it kinda "prepared" itself to see it again.
Well - maybe some would actually call that a real paranormal event, but I took it as a brain "glitch".
