Do You Believe in the Paranormal?

The word 'paranormal' has a very broad meaning since, by definition, it refers to any event in time that doesn't have a scientific explanation. So, the supposed seeing of an angel, a demon, a ghost, and so on and so forth. I've been hearing more and more about the occurrence of ghosts from my friends (particularly on Civil War battlegrounds like at Gettysburg).
Personally, I have never believed in any of these things. I've never been a very religious person, so that rules out any of the 'supreme' or 'celestial' beings such as angels or God. Because of this, I also don't believe in life after death, so I don't recognize ghosts or demons or anything of that sort.
If anybody has any real life exorcism stories, I'd be very interested to hear about that. I'd like to think that I have an open mind; I've just never seen anything paranormal to really make me believe in it.

Hello Mr C! Talking about paranormal things lead us to give real evidence that can be seen through our naked eyes and indulge being the personal witness for the situation in order for us to say that those things are indeed true and believable.
In other words, " To see is to believe " right? I also had that kind of attitude before. My sister used to tell me she experience paranormal things inside our house and i am hesitant to her stories but deep inside i believe and know that she is telling the truth. Well, then i just shrugged my should off because i haven't seen anything and experience at all... Not until one time..
As my sister started playing the oldies song, she told me that was their favorite music because she can feel and sense them everytime it plays. Suddenly while the music played, the volume minimizes and maximizes as it seemed. I thought somebody was using the remote control volume but somebody wasnt touching it, i started to watch the switch tone but it didn't move anyway. And that moment i started to say.. that my sister is telling the truth now. That maybe their favorite one indeed. That oldies songs i heard is also what they heard and could be their sound of music to their ears too... :) hehe. Not afraid anyway...

I don't know if I believe it or not because I haven't seen one and I think I have no plan of seeing one. I am amazed to those tho see and interact with those who can not be seen by a normal people. I love to hear and watch also some paranormal stories like ghost, exorcist and etc but I am afraid that it will happened to me.

I have never seen an exorcism personally first hand. But I have seen them untouched by any film industries. I also ways if you believe in god and angles then evil things that are unseen are real as well. One with out the other can't not exist. If you never want to see then it might not ever happen. Many things happen in our lives that can't not see and we believe in them. I know all the bending and stuff that they show on tv isn't real the real thing nothing like that happens.
