This could be caused my a number of things. First place to look is space before in the paragraph below or space after in the paragraph above. You can find these in the Paragraph panel or the Properties panel. Also look at leading in the Character panel.

 

In your screen capture (which took a while to load for some reason, so I did not see it right away) the Space After value is one inch. This means one full inch of extra space is being added between paragraphs.
