I've had plenty of unexplainable things happen in my life that I put into the "paranormal" side of things for lack of a better term. I've typed a few on here. Thankfully, others were with me to witness a few of the instances.
Here's one that has ties to the experiences of two other people...
In 1996 I was in the Navy and home in Pennsylvania for the weekend. I was in my car coming home from the Selinsgrove, PA. mall. It was a nice summer night after 9 PM and I was driving up the last mountain before my hometown. I started up the hill and noticed a white light up and to left of me in the sky. I thought that it could be a light on a helicopter since it was stationary. I couldn't tell if it was a smaller object a few hundred feet up or a larger object much higher than that.
For whatever reason, I got that weird "chills" feeling as I looked at whatever was in the sky. Here's the weird part that I witnessed: My car radio turned on by itself, tuned to AM. Some incomprehensible stuff came through the radio. This happened for a minute or two. The light in the sky moved, darting left then disappearing completely. My radio went silent besides a light static. I turned it off and continued home. No clue what was in the sky or why my radio turned on or why it went to AM which I never use. When I got into the driveway I turned the radio on and it was set to FM which was normal.
I told my Dad about it the next day and he told me that his PennDot co-worker had a weird experience on that same mountain at the beginning of the year. He said that they were working overtime due to a winter storm and all trucks were out plowing snow. The supervisor called on the CB for the trucks to come back to the stocking area at the base of the mountain, all drivers were to take a break. All but one truck came back. My Dad's friend Jim didn't show up. He had the closest route to "home base". They tried to raise him on CB and he didn't answer.
Nearly 1 hour went by and Jim finally showed up. He entered the building where the guys were finishing coffee or putting their lunchboxes away. They asked what took him so long and jokingly asked if he'd raised his dump bed and taken out a power line which he had done a year earlier. He didn't respond. He plopped down into a chair and sat there.
Finally, my Dad asked if he was okay since he was acting odd and staring into space. Jim responded that he was plowing snow and made his second pass up the mountain. His route took him midway up where he turned right onto a side road. He plowed that and was going to turn around at the County property line. Jim said that he was almost to the turnaround area when a bright white light enveloped the truck, filling the cab surrounding area. He had no recollection of what happened after that. The next thing that he knew, the truck was back on the mountain road heading downhill to the stocking area. He was in the correct gear, his plow was down, and he had no idea how he got there. He couldn't account for 40 minutes of time. The stocking area is only 10 minutes from his turn around spot.
My Dad said that some of the guys gave Jim shit for the "story" but my Dad believed him as Jim didn't touch his food, didn't take a drink, and simply sat there quietly which was out of character. One other thing that he said is that Jim bought a new watch because his stopped working that night.
To further add to the story I talked to my Mom about this stuff years later. This was the first time that she heard anything about my story or what Jim claimed had happened to him. I asked her what she thought and she replied that she had an experience on the same mountain. She said: "I was coming home from work at night and saw a white light overhead in the sky. I thought "Oh great, I'm going to be abducted like it's Close Encounters. The light shot left and up, quickly disappearing". My Mom drove that route every day to and from work, this occurred once.
