Paranormal Phenomena in the light of Psychology of Religion

Abstract

People's enthusiasm for supernatural phenomena is another major social source of some Cults. It is the reality of paranormal phenomena that is at stake. Over many years there has been no effort to provide psychologists with a summary of the nature of the investigation, the methods, the evidence, and the state of the research. Once, at least, in a decade question of that difficult or threatening nature. The focus of contemporary investigations in Parapsychology is the attempt to define working conditions under which specific paranormal phenomena, such as extrasensory perception, tend to appear, to define verifiable regularities in their nature.
