So has anyone had a paranormal experience that they would like to share? What happened and where did it happen?

Being an amateur paranormal investigator I've had several. Here's one of my quicker stories. Most are long, too long to type out.

This happened close to 15 years ago. At the time my wife and I were living in a trailer. We were getting ready for bed one night and she was in the bedroom and I was in the other end of the trailer looking for something. I found it and was about to head to the bedroom when I heard a voice that sounded exactly like my Dad! The voice called out to me, called me by name! Well my Dad lived nowhere near us. But I thought I'd check around and look outside. I turned on the outside lights and looked around. There was no one around anywhere that I could see. I never heard that voice again. Very strange. I called my Dad the next day and told him about it. He thought it was strange also. He assured me that it was not him. I figured it wasn't but I needed to check and tell him about it anyway. That was just the tip of the iceberg of the activity that we got while living there. Many other things happened to us. Nothing threatening, but mischievous, and attention getting. I was already interested in the paranormal before we lived there. Had many other experiences in the previous places that I (as had my wife) had lived in before. But after everything that happened to us there we both began to study and investigate. So our hobby of paranormal investigations started there in that trailer.

Okay, séances might not be "Paranormal" but they are associated with conjuring "spirits"
I know that many think Ouija Boards are pseudoscience and only work through the unconscious mind directing the Planchette to where we want it to go.

I moved from Tasmania to Esperance Western Australia. A distance of over 4000km/2500miles.
After several months I had a small group of friends. One day, with little to do we decided to have a séance.
All set up, (we used an inverted drinking glass as the planchette), inane questions were asked. My question was, "Do you know my father" (He had died two years earlier)
My father's full name was spelled out - Cecil Kenneth G......
I was fascinated. How could this be? I had never mentioned my father to anyone.
Further into the séance we asked what is your name? The reply was Adam Ant.
Then the really astonishing thing happened.
Unprompted "Kill Tony" was spelled out. Tony was one of the participants.
This occurred three times in succession and Tony was getting rather upset.
Suddenly, the glass shot across the table and slammed into Tony's chest with an audible thud.
Tony squealed, jumping up from his seat, he picked the glass up off the floor, ran outside and smashed the glass on the ground.
A true event.
Far from being afraid, I was fascinated. After a few hours I became perturbed because I began to doubt all I thought I knew about death.
Thinking "What if there is something we do not know about? Does this mean I am going to come face to face with all my tormentors over my life"?
I was really upset at that prospect for a number of days until I put it out of my mind.
