Personal Experience Vs. Tangible Evidence

Have you ever had one of those nights where you don't find much tangible proof? Has the same night still been considered an interesting evening, paranormally? Tonight was one such night for me. I felt uneasy while on an investigation. I felt on edge like waiting for that other shoe to drop. I wasn't capturing much with my camera that I could see (yes I use a digital high end camera). I still have to listen to my digital recorder (you never know). But it didn't look like I was getting very much. Then a fellow investigator asked me to explore a section with her. As I did I "heard" some tell me "No one comes to visit Carl". My friend was telling me about the area we were visiting. The third time I "heard" this beligerant spirit complain that no one ever comes to visit him, I set off in his direction. I was drawn to a lovely area with a little bench. In the enclosure by the bench was indeed a headstone of the name Carl.

Now do I have anyway of proving that I "heard" from Carl. Unfortunately no. But isn't it interesting that I found just such a name on a headstone at a place I had never been before. Circumstantial I understand. But fascinating none-the-less.

As I said I was simply on edge the entire night. I was in a beautifully serene park-like atmosphere. One would believe I would feel comfortable and calm. Yet, I sensed something just wasn't right. I was at attention the whole time. As some of us started to pack it in and were waiting by the car. We heard the cry for assistance from one of our fellow investigators. Paranormal assistance was needed as an entity had tried to attach itself to someone who had gone with us. Through the strength of the group and the power of a higher being we were able to assist. How unfortunate for someone to feel like their breath was coming weaker as an entity was surrounding them.

Again, can do I have any tangible proof? Do we have "Slimer" in an ectoplasmatic contraption device? Sadly no. But we do have a friend who can breathe better again.

So I ask you... which is more important personal experience or tangible evidence? If there is no tangible evidence, does that than rule out a paranormal experience from happening? I do not have the answer although I wish I did. I merely ask you to ponder the concept.
