I haven't had an experience with ghosts but I did have an experience with sleep paralysis (kanashibari). While there was no dark figure present at the time, I did hear someone scream something in a foreign language. Yet no matter how vivid or terrifying it is it doesn't make it any more real. You can't blame the scientific community for disregarding supernatural accounts that have no proof to back it up, it's a blind spot that has been taken advantage of time and time again by opportunists and attention whores.
