Paranormal describes things that seem to happen outside of what science can explain — ghosts, telepathy (reading minds), seeing the future, and things like that. People who believe in these things might say "paranormal activity" is happening in a house, meaning strange, things are going on. It's a common word in movie titles and ghost stories.
