I'm curious to know this from a non spiritual perspective. If you believe in ghosts or religon I feel like it's easier to believe in the supernatural because that's either what they were taught or learned on their own
So if you were really firm on not believing in the supernatural, what paranormal activity have you experienced that made you question your own beliefs?
Our bedroom door opens and closes when the bathroom window is open and my dog sits there paralyzed shaking like theres a ghost.
So... no.

I have never believed in any of that but when we moved flats last year I got myself in a real state being certain there was something in there because of some weird noises. Like I made my bf come back up from the pub because I freaked myself out so much.
Turned out there was a window open in the spare room
So no I haven’t. But I was surprised how quickly I was ready to jump to that conclusion 🤷♀️

Oh for sure. I don't disbelieve anyway, but I do have a friendly spirit that visits me occasionally and moves my things around. He's playful, maybe a child

I didnt for the longest time but being a night shift nurse, it’s impossible not to. You hear stories from so many patients, and feel and see things yourself. I don’t know what exactly it is, there’s something.

Back then i didn’t know what is sleep paralysis. When I had it for the first time it scared the hell out of me and I went to church a couple times afterwards

The first time I experienced that, I woke up confused on whether or not I was still dreaming

I was once emptying a dishwasher at work when a plastic cup came flying out of the dishwasher crashing hard into the wall while I was at the other side of the kitchen putting away dishes. Scary af.

I would absolutely love to experience something like this. God, that would make things more fun !
I'm not particularly happy with this materialistic world, where almost everything paranormal can be explained by the imperfections of human perception or simply the desire for attention. But apparently, this is where we live.
I mean I'm glad that at some point I learned about skepticism and got rid of the magical thinking. And all those books about logical errors and cognitive biases that I and all the millennials read in 2010s were certainly interesting... It was all useful and even fun for a while, but the world didn’t become much more interesting.
I'm really happy that at least ball lightning turned out to be a real thing.

Nope never. Real science rules. Occams razor has always given me good results.

It’s kind of a half-answer because it didn’t make me question my beliefs, but I have had an experience that would have made me some kind of believer if I were so inclined. Basically, in a weird state of drifting in and out of sleep while hopped up on meds after a surgery I had an experience that was definitely not a waking one but also felt tangibly different from a dream, in which I felt like some weird goldenish figure was standing over my bed and projecting a message into me.
I genuinely do just chalk it up to brain chemistry going bananas, but it was eye-opening in the sense that it would be very to easy to see how a ball could get rolling if that happened to some random dude on a savannah 4,000 years ago and they didn’t know what to make of it.

I don’t believe in the supernatural/paranormal. Quantum physics is weird enough. If there’s something currently unexplainable, I believe it’s a natural phenomenon we haven’t explored yet. The only thing that happens to me personally is that I sometimes hear people’s words before they say them. I’m assuming it’s intuition from being attuned to their nonverbal cues. The only totally unexplainable one was a woman was telling a story and couldn’t think of the person’s name. I heard it in my mind a few seconds before she remembered it and spoke it aloud.

being a hospice volunteer has kept my mind very open, though i make no definitive claims about any kind of afterlife

No, I think it's a subconsciousness thingy.
Like people see what they want to see.
I'm not ruling out the possibility for something like that to exist, but I don't mind anyway.
Once a close person to me passed and shortly after that I randomly smelled his perfume in my room for whatever reason and got instant goosebumps, but this is just our brain playing games and coping with tragedies.
