parapsychology definition

Parapsychology is the controversial science that carefully examines psychic phenomena including ghosts, telepathy and psychic readings.

Parapsychology’s association with various fringe subjects has undoubtedly tarnished its reputation as a science. Various publications, the media and sceptical organisations have put Parapsychology in with astrology, Loch Ness, occult practices, UFOs, witchcraft, yeti etc. For this reason it is important to define exactly what Parapsychology is.
