By definition a personal experience is a witnessed occurrence that an individuals brain interprets. Your brain either goes into "fight or flight" mode or recognizes the stimuli as none threatening. All ghost encounters, even filmed ones, are subject to possible alternate causes by people not present at the time of the event. Basically put, two people can witness the same unexplained event, but it will be different for them both. The baffling point is why do hard core skeptics forget this and hid behind "science" that doesn't exist to prove or disprove paranormal phenomena. That's right, there is NO science to prove or disprove a paranormal event. There are basic laws of physics and theories. There are even "ghost" particles that not measurable and around us every day. There is no re-creatable way to prove spirits are there or not. There are lots of people that have added very intriguing research and strides to on day having a ghost camera or detection device. Kirlian photography is one of many curiosities.
Now, think of the ghost argument from a legal perspective. By the preponderance of evidence; billions of people of every culture since the beginning of time, have told ghost stories. Thousands have had verifiable encounters that have been proven. Therefore, has not a precedence been set far stronger than DNA testing to support the fact that ghosts are real?
On the other side of the coin, there are thousands that experience events sue to very explainable events. Those events, may be unknown to them at the time. Medical issues and chemical use do create the effect of a paranormal event as one perceives it. Also, those that fake "evidence" of the paranormal only help to discredit possible unexplained events.
So what am I saying? Well, even documented events are perceived by the human brain. And since we understand so little about the human brains working in relation to parapsychology, proving one has had a ghost encounter is impossible. It is important to note that after a profound unexplained encounter, many explainable things can become paranormal to a person due to fear. That is not to say the experience was even scary. For a new paranormal experience there is nothing to relate to that is real or understandable. It confuses the brain and we are back to "fight or flight" responses. The "flight or fight" response is any persons animalistic way to stay alive without getting technical or nerdy.
So - next time a person shares an experience they've had, listen to them. Know that you can never experience what they did. It was theirs to encounter and really is personal. For paranormal teams, remember about the medical, environmental, psychological, or pharmaceutical issues that can affect an experience. In cases that a known reason exists, look for other people that may have had experiences.
I am not even touching on people that may be the cause of the unexplained event. This can include object movement, lights flickering, battery drain, and so very much more. That is for another time. But if you have kids and activity, there is something else to look at besides ghosts. Now, that is not to say this only happens in kids at all. It is just new to parents when toys without batteries go off and on and they have never had a paranormal encounter before. It is unexplained, but not always without a real explanation.
So if you've never seen a ghost and don't believe. Remember it's not fair to judge one who believes they have. You may be that person saying, "You are gonna think I'm crazy, but...........".

Hi..I am 36 y/o male. I never experienced anything paranormal in my life. As a matter of fact, I was never really interested, and I always thought that if paranormal exists, they must be in a different dimension and we cant interfere/see them and vise versa.
But.....
Just the other something abnormal, or i should say paranormal, started happening to me
I am not sure wether what i am seeing is actually there, or i am loosing my mind! I can see mists of smoke when i focus my eyes on certain angles in a dim lit area (ie. closet, bathtub, etc...). When i first start glazing at it, it seems to be like a mist curtain, which can be either static or moving. The longer I stare at it, the mist seems to increase and fill the entire space of the place i am in. I stare longer, it start forming what seems to be like shadows on the wall. one time it started forming what looked like several small balls, the size of a tennis ball, that had perkly edges. Like a little cactus tennis ball. If my shadow happens to reflect on the wall, it looks like its moving when i look at it. The mist seems to be more like a very dull greenish colour, which is the same colour of the shadows it reflects on the wall. I dont try to sit there long because I get kind of scared and i move out.

This is been happening to me for the past couple of days, at any time of the day. I just walk inside the closet, dim the room or bathroom light, and i start seeing it.
Few incidents happened b4 that. I was once standing infront of the toilet emptying, and when i leaned my hand on the wall to support my body, i felt as if my palms touched a very small perkley ball, just like the one i saw in the mist later, except that it was alot smaller in size.
The whole thing doesn't seem to be dependent on the place, because some of that happened in my house and other happened else where (friend's place, hospital)so i think its me attracting it, not the place.
Whats happening to me? Are you aware of similar things to what i am seeing, or am i loosing it?
As i said before, i have ZERO experience/knowledge about this world. I am starting to panic cause they are there all the time, and I don't know what they are or what they want from me. i have zillions of questions running thru my mind, so any input will be highly appreciated.
There are several other things which i see and feel that i can also discuss after I hear your response
Thank you very much
