Who else out there has had truly paranormal experiences?

Many people think they have, but frankly none of that stuff (aside from lucid dreaming) has ever been shown to exist. Chances are far better the person was dreaming, hallucinating, simply didn't know what they were looking at (which doesn't make it aliens or paranormal), it was a coincidence, or they're just making it up. There are millions of dollars in prize money there if they could make it repeatable; no one ever has. As much fun as that stuff is to write books and TV shows about, it simply isn't real.
