genuine paranormal experiences?

So, I was originally thinking of posting this on /sci/ before I thought better of it
has anyone had any actual, verifiable experience with what appears to be supernatural activity?
when i was a kid, i used to have my room in my parent's basement, and on rainy nights in the spring i used to hear distinct footsteps descending down the stairs.
one of the doors immediately outside my room would frequently blow open with a thud.
i also distinctly remember hearing something walking into my room, and i'd be startled but looking at the hallway there would be nothing.
probably the final confirmation came when my family was showing pictures of a house to our relatives.
there was one picture of our bathroom, located in the basement. anyway, my great grandaunt was known to be a village medium of sorts.
after seeing it she immediately pointed out there was a man standing in one of the mirrors.
as someone who otherwise looks for rational explanations for all phenomena and likes to play the fedora'd agnostic during family gatherings, thinking back to this stuff I really don't know what to make of it.
As Richard Dawkins says, our brains run fairly advanced software that can make memories that never happened seem real, or can make us believe we're seeing something that isn't there. under the right circumstances.
i mostly don't even think about it, it hasn't made me "convinced": of the paranormal, but thinking back to it, it seems like it was so real, i remember it so clearly, part of me wants to believe I can't fool myself that much.
can anyone here corroborate with their own "genuine" experiences?
