1. Well about 2 months after my grandmother died, I was in my bathroom getting ready for my day (curling my hair, putting on make-up, etc.) and all of a sudden, I smelled this over-powering scent of my deceased grandmother's perfume she always used to wear. It was unmistakably her perfume - and the scent was so heavy, there was no way I could not smell it, or dismiss it.
Nobody else was home (my husband was at work), and it hanged in the air for about twenty minutes, and then just disappeared. I think that may have been a slight "paranormal" experience (maybe it was my grandma saying "hello" to me from the "great beyond" - that's what I always thought anyway).
2. Also, about a week before she passed away, I had a huge hunch that I should go to a store and buy her a "Happy Birthday" helium balloon, and take it to her (it was the week of her birthday, and she only lived about 10 miles from my house). I kept getting "the strange, intuitive feeling" I should do this - and it became pretty strong - so I did - that day. I am glad I did, because the next week - she had a stroke in her bathroom at night, and she died. I think that's a little "paranormal" - not real weird, but a little strange (I am glad it happened, though).
3. I had some strange experiences with Ouiji boards when I was about 10 years old. I remember asking the board what my boyfriend (or husband) would be named, when I was 25 years old. It said "Tim". I wrote the name down, and kept it in a box for years, until I turned 25, just to see what would happen. And guess what my boyfriend's name was when I was 25 years old? That's right - Tim. It kind of freaked me out (and no I wasn't not dating anyone unless they were named Tim, or anything like that, either - it just worked out that way). Weird, kinda.
4. My father (who is a very smart and educated guy, and not a religious fanatic at all) won't mess with Ouiji boards - they freak him out. He told me that once, when I was a lot younger (like 8 or 9) our family was visiting my cousins - and he and my uncle, just for laughs (they didn't believe in Ouiji boards, they were grown men at the time) - asked my cousin's Ouiji board who they were talking to - and he said it spelled out "'SATAN!".
He said it happened pretty fast, and then the "Ouji indicator thingy" just flew off the board. He said it freaked him out, because it was not expected, and he swore neither he nor my uncle was trying to control in any way what it spelled out as a response. When we got back home, he threw out my little sister's Ouiji board, and he wouldn't let us replace it - he didn't want one in our house anymore, he said.
5. The exact hour that my mother passed away (5 a.m.), my sister swears she smelled the over-powering scent of my mother's meat-loaf she always used to make for us, all over the second floor of her house (it woke her up from a sound sleep, she said).
My mother was not a great cook, and her meat-loaf had a very distinctive smell (like it was burnt, even though it wasn't). She swears the scent permeated the second floor for about 15 minutes, and then gradually dissipated. Only later did she find out that was the exact time my mom passed away. I believe her.
6. Once, when I was a lot younger (I forget exactly how young, but maybe 11 or 12) I thought I saw the silhouette (shadow) of just a woman's head, turned sideways (profile, with her hair piled on top of her head) from the shoulders up, on my bedroom wall. It was the middle of the day-time, and it was weird, as there was nobody else in the room but me, at the time. Our family lived in a renovated older home (built in 1910), so other families had lived there before we did.
It could have been my imagination, I suppose (I have a good imagination, and am also somewhat of a "fraidy cat" when it comes to things like ghosts, etc.) - but it seemd real at the time. I guess I'll never know what it was, or if it was really there - but it was there, it seemed at least, to me, for at least 30 seconds, before it faded out.
