Paranormal encounters refer to experiences that cannot be explained by current scientific understanding. These may include sightings of ghosts, spirits, or unidentified flying objects (UFOs). People often report feeling a presence, hearing unexplained noises, or witnessing strange phenomena that challenge their perception of reality. Many individuals claim to have had personal experiences with the paranormal, such as hauntings in old buildings or near-death experiences. These encounters can evoke a range of emotions, from fear to curiosity, and often lead to discussions about the existence of life after death or other dimensions of reality.
