Not yet. After I die I might.
Before I die, I would have to encounter something like others here have described, then investigate it thoroughly. I do believe that people are experiencing these phenomena, but what they are is still unknown, or maybe even unknowable, to humankind.

I can say I've seen things that I didn't know what it is , UFO , Unidentified flying object , but as for little green men from outer space, I seriously doubt it . The facts show that the nearest solar system from ours is just too far for travel , when they start talking light years and biological life forms surviving the conditions of space , I have to say noway.

Well I have only one experience I can't explain.
I woke up in the middle of the night, around 3.00 in the morning and was wide awake watching a ball of orange/yellow light or energy float across the ceiling and then rise through the ceiling and go away.
Oh I almost forgot. my neighbor lady had an experience that scared her. Her tv would change channels, get loud or low, turn off and on. It was driving her nuts.
Turned out it was me and a friend with a tv controller by her window.
She didn't think it was funny. We did.

The first Ghost I ever truly seen was after my divorce I seen my face reflection in the bath room and a strange women from the bar floating towards me; way too much Hennessy.

Mine was similar to that (and yes I believe) my daughter was about 4-5 years old, had severe strep throat, woke up in the middle of the nite screaming/crying, I stumbled out of bed to go to her, and flipped on the hallway light. I had to walk by the bathroom to get to her room and I looked in the mirror as I passed by & saw my grandmother standing there. She died when I was about 10 or so. My mom says she was watching over my daughter. Scared the crap out of me!!

i've had a lot of strange paranormal events happen to me to varying degrees, most when i was a lot younger, we moved around a lot and ended up living in some pretty bad neighborhoods in really old houses, and one was even a "murder house" and weird things happened there. i used to believe these things and events were ghosts, but now i don't. i think it's just some kind of energy that doesn't have anywhere to go...

outoftheorg------ Now that's just plain evil . LMAO . I can imagine the old lady being scared out of her wit thinking the demons had taken over her tv set .
I am also thinking it possible that if you see a light going across your bedroom ceiling that there may be a prank involved or someone trying to break in , if you have a window by your bed or even a car head light . That wouldn't convince me of anything .

My explaination of this sort of thing is the same as the unreliability of witnesses (as in a court case no the infamous cult some of you may have heard of)
You've seen the "tests" done where someone will stage something and then take testimony from all those nearby to find out what they saw. The wild variations from the actual happening is surpising, yet common.
Whatever is happening in people's minds during these "tests" that makes them see/imagine things is the same type of thing which causes people to "see" ghosts or weird things.
Of course I may be wrong, but this is what I think until something weird happens to me!

I am just a little tiny bit of a skeptic.
I am sure I would feel differently if anything had ever happened to me.
But it hasn't, so I feel rather excluded and left out from the ghost-seeing, UFO-spotting, religious -experiencing, Nessie-seeing possie.
I obviously suck the paranormal from the air around me. It's not fair. I want to be Marc Remilard (ultra-powrful mindpower guy in Julian May's books).
Also, being a geek, I find stuff like this rather interesting;
