(Serious) Redditors who believe in the paranormal, what convinced you it's real?

I never believed in the paranormal until a few years ago. I was using an Ouija board with a few friends and it wasn't the first time I had ever used one. In the past nothing ever happened, it was obvious that we were the ones moving the slider, and it was something that we used to make fun of each other. But this time was different. It was very different from the beginning, there was a strange feel in the room and something I had never felt before and haven't felt since. When I took the slider I was moving it but it felt as if I wasn't alone. The slider proceeded to move in ways I was not moving it, and after a few quick seconds it began to spell out the word "Leave." I told my friends something was going on and they all thought I was kidding and trying to mess with them. Then the slider, moving on its own now, spelt out "now" and we all were freaked out. Before any of us could do anything a flowerpot in my friend's living room flies off its table about 4 feet and smashes to the ground. We shuffle to put the board away and go outside and as we are going outside my friend screams and is claiming something hit him. When we get outside, all freaked out at what just happened, he lifts up his shirt and realize a hand print on the center of his back. I have never used an ouija board since and have never doubted the existence of the paranormal since that day.
