Parapsychology
Parapsychology is the study of abilities and phenomena that exceed the limits of the five senses (sight, smell, feel, taste, hearing).
It is the scientific and scholarly study of certain unusual events associated with human
experience. These experiences have been called "psychic" for want of a better term.
A common misconception is that a parapsychologist is a psychic. Not so. Likewise, a
child psychiatrist is not a child! Instead, a parapsychologist is a scientist or scholar who is seriously
interested in the "paranormal." Unfortunately, many telephone books and on-line sites use
"parapsychologist" as a synonym for psychic entertainer, mentalist, conjurer, astrologer, or psychic
reader. This is an inappropriate use of the term "parapsychologist." To see each parapsychology category, simply click on the word.
