No and I pray I never do. I don't want to see anything or anyone or hear, sense, feel, smell or taste anything paranormal.
Have you ever experienced something paranormal?
Claims of Paranormal, like superstitions, are a resort of those who lack the tools or information to explain or understand, often choosing instead to fill gaps in their knowledge with magic or gods or other conjurings of imagination. None carry any weight with me, personally. There is usually a more profound, more credible, more elegant solution to be found when reality is uncovered.
Yes.
I've convinced myself that my house is haunted, but logically, and rationally, I know that there's a scientific explanation for what is happening, and I tend to go with logic over instinct.
Wikipedia says: “Paranormal events are phenomena described
in popular culture, folklore and other non-scientific bodies of knowledge,
whose existence within these contexts is described to lie beyond normal
experience or scientific explanation.”
There was a time when an eclipse fell into that category;
and yes, it was eventually totally explained after we came to understand the
reality of our solar system.
So in that same sense, I have experienced “paranormal” events;
but I do not think it inevitable---nor more elegant for that matter---that
science will be able to explain all of it eventually.

No.
