Mine happened at work about 1 year ago, I was watering my forklift battery when I noticed the light moving, I looked up to see the florescent fixture above me swinging in a '6 arc, no one was in the area and no machinery was running, it was 5AM AND the only fixture swinging was the one directly above me, no small critters can get in either. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago, a female co-worker asked to talk to me, she told me she was spraying a filter when her hairnet snapped, like someone was playing a prank on her except she too was alone and visibly shaken, another worker told her that I too had a strange thing happen in the same area and she needed to talk to someone who might not her consider nuts...
I live in a third world country in Southeast Asia where people still believe supernatural things and some of them even do it as a profession.
The story is from my dad. This is what he experienced first hand.
My dad is a architect/contractor he was building this one factory in a city on the outskirts of the capital. A normal procedure for any construction process would be to prepare an "offering" when you install the roof on the building. The offering is just a simple pyramid shaped yellow rice dish surrounded by normal food such as local fried chicken, vegetables, etc.
A respected elder would perform the ceremony. The ceremony is usually simple: people would gather around in a circle, the elder would lead the prayers and all of them pray for a safe and smooth construction process. Afterwards the top of the yellow rice pyramid would be cut and then planted in the soil as the offering. Then people would eat the food.
But for this one case, the elder had to go away (I think it was for toilet break), and when he came back the people were already eating the rice dish. So no prayers/ceremony was done. So they never thought anything about it.
After a while the construction site started to have issues. Walls that were constructed fell down overnight with no reason whatsoever. A very big lion (or tiger?) walked across the construction site, and there are no jungles in the area. After a while one man was possessed, and the elder was brought back to the place and the possessed man ("evil spirit" or "ghost" or whatever you might call it) told him that he was angry because the people didnt ask him proper permission to do the construction. He also said "Even the food was not given to me"
So my dad then conducted another ceremony and did it properly. And lo and behold after that the construction process went smoothly.

Another example is: I used to work as the sales & Marketing head of a carton box factory in a city in the outskirts of the capital
We had one accident where a worker was cleaning the diecut machine. For some reason (yes it was very bad safety standard on his part) he stepped on the machine, then slipped and his feet got crushed in the die cut and had to be amputated.
This accident happened in the night shift (around 6PM).
From what I heard from the workers, the factory was "haunted" and people can see weird apperance (or voices) around the end of daylight (around 5-6PM).
Also I heard, apparently the guy that had the accident has a father that is considered a "smart" man and can drive ghosts away. He was planning to bring his dad to the factory to get rid of the evil spirits.
Some of the workers said this might be the reason why he got into the accident

Well, since I've moved away from my hometown where that house was at, I haven't experienced any paranormal thing since.
My second experience (coincidently also with the same friend) was at my house. I used to live in a very rural area in east Texas down a dirt road from a nearby highway. In some ways this event was way worse than the one at my friends house, because we were alone for the night.
My mom once a month had to do a night shift at the hospital (she was an RN) so this one night during the summer I invited my friend over to come play computer games and stay up all night. Early in the morning I was in my room playing on the computer while my friend was watching tv on the living room couch, I hear footsteps go passed my door and down to the bathroom. I don't really pay attention to this, but I can see when the light comes on in the bathroom through the space at the bottom of my door.
The light never came on. I never heard any footsteps come back from the bathroom. So I step out of my bedroom and look, no light, no friend. I walk out to the living room with a goofy grin on my face and ask my friend if he just stomped down to the bathroom and peed in the dark and snuck back out. I remember at that moment he gave me a confused look and thought that it was me making the loud footsteps.
We both started swearing and freaking out and at first retreated to the bedroom. We waited a long time to hear something and armed ourselves with bats. Eventually we mustered the courage to venture out and start turning on lights throughout the house. Never found anything or saw anyone.

Anything that happens and can't be explained with reason or fact is supernatural or paranormal.
The fact you don't believe someones tale don't make you right. You judge it false only because you don't have anything to relate to, like a similar experience.
Many people also think aliens must not exist just because they haven't seen one. But that don't mean they aren't out there.
Even Bible thumpers think if aliens are not in the book, it must not be true. But then when someone points out the similarity to angels and alien life forms, most of them will pause a while like they never thought of that before. That's when you point out their saviour might have also been an alien. Which might make sense out of nonsense to a few of them. It's like starting a crack in the dam of their reality. Even the Vatican recently said something about the possibility of aliens existing in the universe, but I'm too tired to find it ATM.
Because once you experience something out of the ordinary, the possibility that you might believe what someone tells you that is out of the ordinary it is greatly increased.
I think a lot of what passes for ghosts are imbedded psychic imprints left behind by traumatic events people experienced before they died, like a murder by the railroad, or even imprints from simply doing mundane tasks they might repeat countless times while alive, like walking down hallways.
These imprints become stored in the houses or environment somehow over time and then under certain conditions they can be retrieved. Which also might explain why people report ghosts missing body parts, like bodies with no heads, floating heads, ect. It's like part of the imprint is missing for some reason, not because the ghost is literally headless. For instance, embedded psychic imprints would explain people seeing a tiger in it's favorite spot while alive where one is not likely to be there now.
Now, poltergeist activity, like a can of pop emptying with out being opened into a vase, falls into an entirely different category of paranormal activity that is more difficult to explain unless you believe in alternate realities or states of being after you die, such as heaven or even a limbo state of being until someone's spirit passes on or is reborn.

I grew up out in the middle of nowhere in WV. There was this old barn which belonged to our neighbor which he always claimed was haunted. So one night my sister and I went into the barn and shut off all the lights on a bet from my older brother. As we are standing there in the middle of the barn we hear some noises coming from the hay loft above us. At first it was just sort of rustling noises then there was a series of louder thumping sounds. The noise sounded like someone walking quickly toward the loft opening. So we both haul ass out of there. My sister is in front of me and she kicks the door open and runs out into the barn lot as fast as she can. However, in the darkness she runs right into the side of our neighbor’s mule that was asleep. It stumbles, freaks out, and takes off. She falls down screaming convinced the ghost just got her. I fall to the ground laughing because it is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
I have many ghost stories to share, just not right now, I'm at work atm...
Ok 1, I predicted my 4.5 year old cat on 12/6 would not make it through the night last week cause I saw something in her aura that signaled to me that she had a heart condition.
She dropped dead at 9:45pm that night. Shocked everyone in the household but me(though I was still notablely upset).

You likely are "awake", btw. Ever get a tingling sensation on your forehead or other parts of your body? I didn't see any spirits or anything like that until I experienced an awakening due to a situation I was in about 5 years ago. I saw crap that nearly made me shit myself. There are ways to tune it up or tune it out depending on what you want to do. I use Binaural beats to keep myself in tune.

I had this weird unexplainable thing happened to me once.
It was during one summer when I was doing loads of LSD... Actually when I think about it maybe there was a rational explanation.
An altered state of reality due to drugs does not mean what you are seeing is any less real than when not under the influence. If you were to look at the world from the point of view of an insect, how would that compare to your normal reality? In fact, you might even notice your reality while intoxicated is more real than normal. Therein lies the contradiction. Our senses only perceive a small part of what is actually out there, and drugs could either increase or decrease your awareness of reality.

Interesting. More of a psychic vision on your part, than a ghost story.
I actually have some cat paranormal or ghost tales I might share later. I'm just kind of tired ATM to tell one.

I didn't say that " supernatural stuff " either did or didn't. You cannot prove it one way or another just like you cannot prove your theory of " 1 in a trillion quantum teleportation event ". I just stated the obvious that they could be equally responsible for an unexplainable event.
Now who looks fucking stupid, stupid.

A long long time ago I was playing with an Ouija board in our basement when I was home alone. My sister and I had gotten it out the night before and never put it away.
I never believed the thing when I used it with her because I always thought she moved it. Turns out I was right. When I played with it, nothing happened.
But after I went into our laundry room at the time (we got to the bathroom through there) and as I was leaving a hanger flew out of the closet pretty quickly and hit the wall.
I ran upstairs crazy scared and eventually came back down turning all the lights on as I could.
So yeah, take from that what you will. I confirmed I was still home alone.

Interesting because in this linked thread, you state a year to the date, rather than 3.

A metal coat hanger? Was it in a row with other hangers or just an isolated hanger? Reason I ask is, those hangers tend to get askew when people take clothes off them without removing the hanger first. It's possible it was tangled up in another hanger and had enough energy in the entanglement to come flying off when you walked by and vibrated the floor or stirred up a breeze. Just a thought.

Yeh I noticed that to. I honestly cant' remember if it was 1st or 3rd. It was over 25 years ago when it happened. Dates are fuzzy to me but events are very concrete. I can't tell you what birthdays I had various cakes on, but I can tell you how they were decorated. And with Christmas presents I can tell you what I received on a particular year and how they were arranged under the tree, but I don't know how old I actually was when I got them.
My uncle died when I was in 3rd grade. I'm 33 now. I can tell you exactly what seat I was sitting at and where my Mom was sitting when we noticed it. But the year is vague.

Whitish plastic and it was surrounded by clothes (I'm not sure of its exact position as I didn't exactly see it the second it left the closet). This was in a basement with cement flooring so if something disturbed it, I doubt it was me. It also wasn't an area you selected clothes from to wear, although that doesn't mean it didn't happen.
The closet was located under a set of stairs but like I said, I was home alone, so I'm not sure what it could have been.
Six years ago my gf and I bought the house she had been living in before she divorced. She had been there over ten years and often told me a lot of strange shit has happened there. My first encounter was very soon after I moved in. She worked third shift and I was alone one night, had just gone to bed. I was almost asleep and suddenly felt someone push down firmly on the pillow right next to my head. I just about had a heart attack.
That was it for awhile. Afterwards there were many noises and other unexplained oddities but nothing drastic, nothing I would call malicious. Sometimes in my office on my old JVC boombox the CD drawer opens seemingly by itself, as well as my LCD TV turning on. I know remote controls can sometimes do this, but it's always at a time when no one is using anything like that in the house. It always seems like activity picks up in late fall into wintertime.

I just remembered something.
this one time at a party I was standing on the back deck. There were these twisted, paper streamers all over the place. I was looking at two of them right next to each other and one was twisting around and the one next to it wasn't moving.
Must have been a ghost messing with me. I am sure it wasn't the LSD or shrooms I had done.

I've been told many times that the back part of where I work is haunted. I've heard various stories of weird things happening. Not worried. Even if there's something back there, if all it can do is drop stuff on the floor, that's not much of a threat, and it's not like I could choke a ghost out anyway. If it gets me, it gets me. I've got more important things to worry about.
