An Introduction to Paranormal Psychology - with Chris FrenchΔημοσιεύτηκε στις 27 Ιουλ 2016
Do
ghosts exist? Is there any evidence for the paranormal? With millions
believing in paranormal phenomena, it must either exist or be explained
by psychological factors. Chris French introduces the field of
anomalistic psychology, which aims to provide non-paranormal, scientific
explanations of the seemingly unexplainable.

Ever
since records began, in every known society, a substantial proportion
of the population has reported unusual experiences many of which we
would today label as ‘paranormal’. Opinion polls
show that the
majority of the general public accepts that paranormal phenomena do
occur. Such widespread experience of and belief in the paranormal can
only mean one of two things. Either the paranormal is real, in which
case this should be accepted by the wider scientific community which
currently rejects such claims; or else belief in and experience of
ostensibly paranormal phenomena can be fully explained in terms of
psychological factors. Chris French provides an introduction to the
sub-discipline of anomalistic psychology, which may be defined as the
study of extraordinary phenomena of behaviour and experience, in an
attempt to provide non-paranormal
explanations in terms of known psychological and physical factors.
Chris
French is Professor of Psychology at Goldsmiths, University of London.
His research focusses on the psychology of paranormal belief and
ostensibly paranormal experiences, the belief in conspiracy theories and
false memories.
