What do you think about the paranormal,,, there is something in it or it is a load of hoo haa or other?

I have had a number of experiences in that area. My grandmother was a medium and seances were a common event in my childhood home. Later I made a study of haunted houses in Maine and in that ten year period had three experiences I cannot explain away. Years later in Prague I had a strange "encounter" in the old city one night just before Xmas of 2003.
