Welcome to the Paranormal Workgroup A collaborative effort to develop well-sourced articles about all things paranormal. About This Project Objective The objective of this project is to develop a set of articles that will help the reader understand the nature of related subject as a good study guide for further study. The articles should be reasonably free of statements based on belief, as everything substantive should have an easily accessible reference. it is sometimes necessary to provide commentary about the subject in the nature of an overview or abstract, but that verbiage should be clearly identified as opinion. Concepts related to paranormal Of course, "paranormal" means "not normal," but in the context of frontier thought, "paranormal" refers to all things that are outside of the mainstream of thought. The three main aspects of the subject are: Physical: This is the mainstream scientific view of what reality is like. As a general rule, the term "paranormal" doe snot apply to physical phenomena such as most of the subjects discussed in the forteantimes This would include UFOs, aliens and strange weather. Psi phenomena: the field of parapsychology addresses a class of phenomena generally described as "psi functioning." This study is based on the existence of a hypothetical subtle energy which is not addressed in mainstream science. Such subjects as ExtraSensory Perception (ESP), Psychokinesis (PK), Remote Viewing and precognition (Presentiment) and intentionality. The Super-psi Hypothesis is an important part of this study. Survival of personality:The concept that mins is independent of brain, and continues to exist beyond physical death is generally address in the Survival Hypothesis. This study extends physical and psi research to address to hypothetical existence of a greater, nonphysical reality. Related subjects include transcommunication, Instrumental TransCommunication (ITC), Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP), hauntings phenomena and mediumship. Please help develop this project Participate Your experience and understanding in this area is needed to develop develop a useful set of articles. Please explain your edits on the talk page. There are a lot of different views of these subjects and it is important that editors make an effort to develop a consensus view that is supported by evidence. What's New Draft List Plenums These are only proposed article titles. Please do not begin one without discussion.

Templates

These indexes might help navigation through the category. Editors would need to update the template with new article names. The {{Template:Paranormal}} would be added in the article to include the index. It should collaps with a "Hide" button, but that is not working now.
