Parapsychology

View through CrossRef
Parapsychology is an interdisciplinary attempt to examine beyond‐the‐normal and atypical occurrences in life. In other words, it is the discovery and evaluation of para‐natural domains and supra‐natural phenomena. These phenomena, whether actual or purported, are not currently or fully explicable by the framework of mainstream scholarship or conventional science. Interest in the unusual and fascination with the extraordinary are as old as human civilization itself.
