Phenomena

MENTAL PHENOMENA: extra-sensory perception, unusual mental states/abilities (telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, retrocognition, remote viewing, psychometry, xenoglossy, mediumism, channeling, & possession) involves some type of information transfer occurring outside the confine's of one's five senses.

PHYSICAL PHENOMENA: unusual physical occurrences (psychokinesis, poltergeists, materializations, psychic healing, morphic fields, & synchronicity) mind influencing its physical surroundings.

SURVIVAL PHENOMENA: the survival of consciousness after physical death (ghosts, out-of-body experiences, astral projections, reincarnation, and near-death experiences)
"Parapsychology today attempts to find statistical oddities that can't be explained either by laws of chance or by any other known natural causes." (Robert Todd Carroll)
