This informative and illuminating volume covers the entire field of
parapsychology and paranormal events, exploring it from scientific,
historical, and cultural perspectives. Readers will be fascinated
by the existence of evidence supporting the possible reality of the
paranormal but will also consider the arguments of skeptics.
Parapsychology encompasses a wide range of phenomena and paranormal
abilities, from psychokinesis and extrasensory perception (ESP) to
near death experiences (NDE), life after death, and ghosts and
haunting. While this field is viewed by some as a fringe science,
parapsychology remains a popular and fascinating subject worthy of
investigation and consideration. Probing the Paranormal: Exploring
Modern Parapsychology investigates the full range of topics that
have for centuries mystified all humans-a diverse world of
experiences comprising a mysterious and unexplained field of
mental, psychological, and spiritual perception. Regardless of
whether readers believe events claimed to be paranormal are real or
fake, they will find the information in this book enthralling,
thought-provoking, and surprising. The book begins with an overview
that explains what paranormal phenomena are-and what they
aren't-and explores what parapsychologists claim is the underlying
cause. Readers will learn about how the paranormal was seen and
explained in previous eras, parapsychology's relationship with
mainstream science, and the three main areas of parapsychological
study-ESP, mind-matter interaction, and life after death. The
chapters provide historical and cultural context to the discussions
of specific phenomenon; describe famous cases, experiments, and
research methods; and examine criticisms and alternate explanations
offered by mainstream science. The book also considers the
treatment of paranormal phenomena in popular culture and media
today. * An ideal resource for students or general readers seeking
in-depth information about paranormal experiences and events beyond
the bounds of empirical science * Supplies an invaluable historical
perspective that explores how the paranormal was conceptualized
during earlier times, including religious and spiritual
explanations * Explains how experimental research is conducted on
paranormal phenomena and how both believers and skeptics interpret
the results of these studies * Presents contributions from senior
scholars and experts in the field of paranormal experiences and
events
