Real paranormal stories?

I want to know real paranormal experiences any of you had. The only paranormal experience I had is a sudden force throwing a bottle from atop a cupboard, but I am not sure if it was simply wind or something else. It only happened once and never again. I remember my older relatives sitting in a circle and sharing different stories of possessions and apparitions, and I kind of miss those talks, some I was skeptical about...but it was entertaining nonetheless. Our country is full of different lores. Also, do you guys believe that paranormal experiences are real phenomenon, or just our mind playing tricks? I tend to believe the latter...but it could change depending on the facts presented.
