Some of the descriptions posted here appear to be delusions to one, such as myself, whose whole experiences record no paranormal effects and who finds scientific explanations are quite adequate for everything I have experienced. The field of paranormality is replete with fakery and with people with psychological problems and challenges such as that put out by James Randi have never been successfully accepted. Nevertheless science has frequently had to make major changes in its paradigms and phenomena, such as entangled particles, indicate there is much in the universe that is still poorly understood. People of good intelligence frequently indicate a belief in religious dogma that has no basis in current understanding and time itself which presents each of us with a sense of being in a present moment which continuously changes is frequently relegated to delusion by science even though this is the hardest reality to each of us. I am extremely suspicious of accounts of paranormal phenomena, as I am by accounts of flying saucers but there is always the very slim chance that something I can accept as real has occurred and that almost negligible possibility I always leave open.
I would expect most people who have never experienced a paranormal phenomena would think this way. It is the logical way of thinking. There is no way I could make anyone on a forum believe me, but like you said, there are so many things that cant be explained, because science has not got that far, or there is no way to run a solid test. I do not have any "psychological problems" as you say, but I am also aware that there are plenty of people who have that problem. I have had total non believers with me before that seen the same things I did and now believe. I have seen things that you can not attribute to some kind of illusion or something. Like a door knob turning and the door opening, or a cabinet being unlocked and opened, when no one else is there. It makes me second guess myself, like checking to make sure there is not some kind of trick going on. There has never been any elaborate smoke and mirrors, or someone playing a prank on me, I am sure of that. I could go on and on telling stories but it wont do any help, because this is something you have to experience to believe.
Just-me, I have seen and heard them before, but I usually sense them, and when I sense them there seem to be some sort of communication going on that I cant describe, like they are communicating to me threw my feelings, like if they don't want me there or if everything is okay, or trying to tell me something. Then there are the obvius things like doors open and shutting, locks, door knobs, stuff sliding, breaking, being thrown, ect.
You seem to me, from this, that you have experienced something that I cannot explain so it is, as you say, a matter of accepting your word. The matter remains in limbo for me at this point.
