be a skeptic and doubt that it will happen. This would only skew the results and most likely not help the person trying to heal the sick person. If we truly accept the paranormal as viable option in curing the sick, it could do wonders for our society. I would like to transition now into how the paranormal can help us progress technologically. I believe that the paranormal would help us tremendously in furthering our technology. I think the paranormal could prevent wars from happening, could end wars faster, and can help the everyday people go through their life. I would like to introduce extra-sensory perception, ESP. ESP is the ability to acquire knowledge independent of your senses and the different types of ESP are clairvoyance, precognition, and telepathy (Berger 5). Clairvoyance could help prevent and end wars a whole lot faster. Clairvoyance would allow us to be able to find the guys that are hiding that need to captured. It could us find terrorists and other rogue agents that could do damage to the world. It would be like having the fly on the way that we always wished we had so that we can know what is going on. An example of someone with this ability would be Alexis Didier. Alexis Didier was a famous clairvoyant whose career as a clairvoyant was extremely short due to the high demand of his services. It was believed that because they used his powers a lot that his health had started to deteriorate because of it. In a famous instance of Didier being tested, Didier…
and fantasy. People always saying the teenage is the leader to open the new world, then why we take their fantasy away? If we do, what’s the key to open the new world? Therefore, people shouldn’t ban the paranormal from teenage, the paranormal culture gives us a colorful life and space to thinking, if we cut off the paranormal from teenage which means cut off the road to the new future. Why people believe in the paranormal? To explain some of these supernatural effects, Joseph Banks Rhine of…
Christina DeFiori The chapter Psychics and Scientists begins with a very thoughtful example to explain precognition. We have all had an instance when we thought about a person and then the phone buzzes and it magically appears to be that person. Of course this coincidence seems like a big deal and might even make people say the line, “I must be psychic.” What this chapter points out is a very important argument: You might have been right that one time, but what about the hundreds of times you…
trying to address more directly whether there was a difference between precognition and clairvoyance. Precognition, when speaking in terms of parapsychology, is reported skill allowing one to see, sense or feel future occurrences via an extrasensory comprehension. Clairvoyance is the ability to see things that are hidden. In addition, the authors were also trying to find whether the optimal conditions for the two types of ESP, extrasensory perception, appeared to differ. For this source, no…
Dr. Peter Venkman is interested in testing whether psychics who claim to have clairvoyant powers actually do. Dr. Venkman believes that real psychics have special clairvoyant powers that non-psychics do not possess. 1a). If the “psychic” can predict the identity of these “psychics” possess clairvoyant powers that non-psychic people do not possess.1b) Looking at the fact sheet provided by John A.

Parapsychology Parapsychology is that branch of psychology which is related to investigating actions that cannot be explained by natural law and information that cannot have been gathered through the normal sensory skills. It deals with the cognitive phenomena frequently called extra sensory perception, in which an individual gains information of other individuals’ thoughts or of future actions through ways that are actually ahead of the five senses. Extra Sensory Perception Extra Sensory…
Telepathy and precognition: two “superpowers” often desired by millions across the world. To be able to read minds and tell the future? It seems awesome yet impossible to possess such abilities. However, some people believe that they possess these powers. Some even believe that all humans are capable of tapping into an area of our brains which could enable us to transfer thoughts without speaking, and tell the future not just by a prediction that can be explained on the basis of what we know.…
