If so, and you're comfortable sharing, please do.
I've had one myself which left me with a large scar, as well as seeing multiple ghosts to date.

I'm always curious to hear about others stories ^_^

E/ title should've been paranormal rather than supernatural.

Nothing to that extent, but I have had someone do a 'healing' on me, release tension down the right side of my face I had for years which gave me this incredible rush I can only explain as if it was like a hit of elicit drugs, really threw me off big time.

I tend to be a bit of a sceptic but personal experience tells me there is definitely more than meets the eye to reality and its fabric, I just do not assume what that is exactly but also do not underrate my instincts any more.

No, all supernatural experiences are naturalistically explanatory.

You should be proud rather than ashamed. Naturalists tend to develop an unintellectual view of the world. The world is completely natural but naturalists extend this to the view that the world is anthropologically normal.

The world is anything but normal. Any serious understanding of the scientific worldview inevitably leads to complete awe... the nature of the world is unimaginably ridiculous.

Actually the definition of supernatural is something that is not explanatory by scientific or other means, and will never be. Paranormal is something that is undefined by what we currently are aware of, but may be proven through some advancement.
Either way, this isn't the point of the thread

The definition of supernatural means that it is not explanatory by scientific means.

A supernatural experience, however, which is a phenomenological one, is absolutely explainable by science.

If an explanation of supernatural experience isn't the point of your thread in the Science, Technology and Nature forum, I'm not sure what you're looking for.

Refer to thread title. Refer to original post.
I'm not a woman, there's no deeper meaning implied here. Just lookin' for other peoples stories if they care to share em.

You shouldn't create such topics Imo.
If you truely believe in what you experienced, then power to you.
But on the other hand, there are those who truely believe they can prove what you experienced wasn't "supernatural", that it can be explained by science and so forth.

Some ppl are too close minded. They havn't evolved enough to comprehend that some things aren't explained by science, math, etc.
Science to this day is still trying to dissect what is now called "Higgs boson/The God Particle". Maybe one day they'll fully comprehend it, but as of now, it's still being studied.

There's still debate about how Life began, why "this" is the way it is, why "that" is the way that is... nothing is still proven as the only truth, truth that is accepted and believed by EVERYONE.

So, with that in mind, I'd try and guide you to find ppl who have similar beliefs as you do, experiences and intellect.

Jsp... more trolls, kids without much life experience, uneducated guessers and so forth.
It's a shame. Even this forum, where I've seen most of the smartest ppl, sometimes gets "fkd" by some troll(s).

I respect both types of ppl, the ones who have experienced paranormal activities and the ones who do not believe any of those to be valid.
We must respect both types of ppl and their beliefs, who are we to judge... no one should ;)

---

As for myself, I live with many unexplainable (for some) events.

Good luck with topic! :D

e - Theres been similar topics in the DF. Those get alot more views and comments, also they are heavily viewed by Staff, so off topic/flame/etc get shut quite fast, rarely happens though, most ppl there are more "mature".

The formalism of the Higgs boson is completely explained by science.

Does science explain everything? Of course not. But the use of the explanatory gaps of science to invoke supernaturalism is ridiculous.

One time I saw a spider crawling on my desk and under my arm. I lifted my arm up to knock it away and it was gone.
