Well, what is your definition of a mystical experience? There are many views on such matters, but I personally believe that I have had one. It was personal in the sense that no one else could have physically been present, but I shared the experience with quite a few people.
It manifested in the form of a dream a few years back, and was so vivid that I can still recall it in full detail... I had it written down at one point, but the computer which it was stored on self destructed in a rebellious bout of hatred for its user.

I have also had several mystical experiences while under heavy influence of psychedelic drugs, but not many count those as valid due to what ever backwards logic the abide by...

A few chance encounters with some extraordinary people. Dunno if that's really counting as mystical or not, but it was definitely some magical moments. Other then that, some weird unexplainable experience stopped me from continuing heroin use. I'm sure there's a lot of mystical experiences that happen, that I just can't remember experiencing.

I've had experience that I can't explain whilst on a number of substances. I'd blame it on the substance, whether "real", or not. Conformation is invaluable when dealing with "hallucinations". It's not often specifically found.

One night I heard what sounded like water droplets hitting the floor above me. They were all emitting different frequencies and it was kind of like listening to a really complex song.
Granted I was slightly stoned at the time but the experience seriously rattled me. Maybe I should of took note of the song. 
I haven't had an experience quite like that since.

I saw a ghost one time, middle of the day with a group of friends. No one could explain what happened, it's not something I think too much on, though.

I have had a similar experience but i felt a negative/malicious presents following this guy i used to hang out. it mimicked his voice, then i felt foot steps that weren't ours following us and during this i felt like a was having an internal struggle and finally asked/told myself to be strong or something and a street light turned on right over me as i completed the thought then later when he finally said something a backyard light turned off. it was fucked up.
anyway i don't hang out with that guy anymore and told him to seek a healer(I think thats why it was messing with me when i was with the guy) that was the only truely truely negative/dark feeling i have ever had in my life to that magnitude.
and i have had many a positive mystical experience on psychs where i was "cleansed"

Ok so i guess i should explain a bit. i had a very powerful near fatal experience with Burgmansia when i was 16. It reshaped how i looked at the world. It was a big reason why i became so obsessed with plant teachers and by extension the shroomery.
I have the trip report that i did about it floating around here somewhere. a few years ago i was sitting in this park that i used to chill at in high school smoking a bowl with some old friends and my girlfriend at the time. There was these two buildings, the one to the right had a huge Burgmansia tree in front. in my direct field of vision with a void in between that showed the sky. I noticed a cool shimmer on a cloud that was passing through and i pointed at it and said, "Look at that cool cloud". soon as i do it changes into a smiley face, everyone sees it but i was the only one to get excited over it. It was like the universe smiled on me for seeing simple beauty in it. A few months to a year later Im hunting boletes in shasta with laska, and alan rockefellor a couple others and was relating that story while cooking a hotdog. Soon as i finish i look up and there is a heart in the sky.
i got a pic.

the synchronicity was cool and i was even more stoked this time.
then a year or so later me and laska were at the 40th anniversary of woodstock. We look around and then decide to eat lunch. Chicken of the woods in pasta. We sit in the back of the meadow with 30000 people in front of us and start to eat and smoke a few bowls.
after a bit i notice a couple of people weaving in and out of the crowd. its a clown and a dude wearing native garb. a medicine pooch around his neck and a medicine roll over his shoulder.
I thought it an interesting pair so i pointed them out to alice. No sooner than i did the man locks eyes with me and beelines straight for us. We were both like uh, are they coming over here? They sat down imediatly and started talking. We make small talk and eventually get on the subject of native art and the universe. He mentions his medicine roll and shows me. On the front it had all kinds of images of power animals. the shapes were made using the hair from each specific animal and he explaind the meaning behind them. The entire time hes talking to me the clown is about a foot from my face talking at me about something. i dont really remember. The clown was a distraction and the elder was giving me wisdom.
Eventually i related the story about how the universe smiled on me, then the synchronicity with seeing the heart as i was retelling it.
he just has this smile on his face and nwhen i finish my story then the clown says, "Whats that? and points upwards and behind me. i look and see, a pegasus, a fucking horse with wings in the sky. wtf. mind completly blown open. I looked to him again with a look of puzzled astonishment as if to ask for some sort of explaination. he just smiled and turned the medicine roll hes been making for years over and the only image on the otherside is a pegasus. WTF!
He then tells me he performed the opening ceremony for the festival and released the doves of peace that morning. Still a bit awestruck i chated with him for a bit until laska got nervous because a group of people started getting naked a few feet away so we parted to go look around a bit more.
im still waiting for our paths to cross again.

I had an experience during meditation where I was repeating a mantra over and over in my head. The purpose of the mantra is to essentially drown out your normal thought patterns and allow an awareness to come through. As I was repeating this mantra I felt like I was sucked into myself and this incredible bliss overcame me for a few seconds. It was so powerful that I almost fell over. I don't know if anyone would consider this "mystical", but it had immense personal meaning for me. I had this afterglow which lasted some time after.
I've experienced various out-of-body experiences where I was consciously flying around my neighborhood, communicating with guides and exploring other worlds, but because the aforementioned experience occurred within waking consciousness it was more meaningful for me.
