can you not be religious and still believe in the paranormal?

Ive seen some pretty paranormal stuff in my day. I am s stron beliver in Christ as our savior and consider myself a good Christian. I place alot of faith in God and his word, something I have never "seen" or witnessed first hand. I have also seen with my own eyes and experienced first hand what I belive to be paranormal activity. Its easy to belive it when it is right in front of you. I lived in an apartment that was haunted and experienced things in those 3 years that I cant even explain. My take on it is that I have faith in a God that I have never seen, why couldnt there be other forces that are beyond the normal? I doesnt make me any less Christian to belive in those things, so long as I dont embrace and or worship them. At least thats how I feel.

I agree that this is a really interesting question. I've met people who are self-proclaimed atheists who say they have experienced paranormal happenings. They tell me it's not a matter of belief, but of fact. They saw it. Their explanation is that it has nothing to do with a god or a religion, but is part of the natural world that we just don't know how to explain yet. They don't necessarily believe that it's a ghost or soul acting up, but it's outside the "normal" experience --- and fairly rare. Me, I'm not religious, and I've never experienced the paranormal, but I'm open.
