I strongly dislike it when people dismiss the fact that my wife is the coolest female in the world just because they've had no personal experiences of anything of the kind. I've had personal experiences to that effect daily for more than a decade now, and I value them greatly for what they are and what benefits they bring me.
Unfortunately, neither you nor I have corroborating data...so them's the breaks, and neither of us should take it too rough when someone dismisses either claim on that count.
I don;t know that not finding evidence of the paranormal has anything to do with atheism, btw. Plenty of atheists do believe in "the paranormal"...and plenty of theists don't.
