QuotationsQuotes

“The paranormal is a term used to describe a set of supposed phenomena that are neither observable nor explicable scientifically. These paranormal phenomena are the object of study of parapsychology. The prefix "para" designates something that is "beside", on the fringe of the "normal", which may refer to scientific consensus or normality. Since these phenomena have no proof of existence, imagination and supposition have free rein.”
