What are your thoughts on the paranormal and death

[SomewhereNew]

I'm asking those of you who are like me who have had similar experiences for your opinion on the correlation between death and the paranormal.

I have experienced poltergeist activity with multiple witnesses present on multiple occasions

Mimics mimic-crying loved ones voices (one time right between me and someone face to face a voice even manifested while we were talking)

Being tapped 3 times while being dead asleep on TWO different occasions

Heard running bare footsteps stopping right at the entrance to my open bedroom door.

If you have experienced similar things I want to know if you think these could be people who are in fact dead and are ghosts or do you consider them non-human tricksters?

Torn on the paranormal. I don't believe, but I also hate to think the people who have had experiences are liars.

Yeah I can understand that I can assure you these are all real experiences and unless you witness something unexplainable yourself that's how I used to be. I just can't wrap my head around what the experiences actually were because they would mean there are sentient invisible things that can manipulate things with energy. And that goes against all our understandings of what's possible and what's not.

The running thing happened to me once or twice. I was scared of the dark so much as a kid that I would peek every doorway in my house for like 1-2 hours before going to sleep and because I was in a sense of distress I would basically enter a half sleep state and sometimes hear footsteps or knocking, probably because of the activity prior to that.

I don't believe I've had any "paranormal" experiences.....but I do believe several acquaintances who have reported interactions with ghosts or energy beings, etc. I would never categorically deny their existence simply because our limited scientific abilities have not identified all there is to discover. For me to deny the possiblity of the paranormal is the same as a person from the 16th century denying the existence of little life forms that can cause disease, i.e. bacteria.

EDIT: Very cool question though......

Thanks for sharing I have also seen two dead dogs of mine in the astral realm and if you ever astral project you know that what you experience is very lucid and they weren't even a thought in my mind at the time but they were there to greet me. It will make you wonder for sure
