Real Ghost Hunters, Busters, and Whisperers: The Paranormal Experts
The field of parapsychology, or the study of paranormal phenomena, isn't confined to just ghosts and spooks. It also involves the study of the power of the human mind, the ability of people to see the unseen and move the unmovable, even the visions people get of the world beyond the grave.
Paranormal experts, or parapsychologists, study three broad categories of paranormal phenomena:
A. Mental Phenomena - an expert may study the unique mental ability of the human mind. This will include those who can:
1. read someone else's mind or communicate with another (Telepathic)
2. perceive spirit beings or entities through intuition (Clairvoyant)
3. hear spirits or sounds which have no known source, and which ordinary people can't hear (Clairaudient)
4. smell things which have no known source, and which ordinary people can't smell (Clairalient)
5. taste things without putting anything into their mouths (Clairgustant)
6. intuitively feel or know things or spirit entities (Clairsentient)
7. see the future (Precognizant)
8. see someone else's past (Post-cognizant)
9. see an object's history by mere feeling or impression (Psychometric)
B. Physical Phenomena - an expert may investigate occurrences caused by an entity or someone's mental powers. This will include studying:
1. people who can make objects move with their mind (psychokinesis)
2. poltergeists, or malevolent entities that can move objects and do damage
3. people who can set objects on fire with only mind power (pyrokinesis)
4. sicknesses or bodily conditions caused by someone's psychological state (psychogenesis)
5. people who are able to communicate with entities, or even be possessed by them to enable direct communication with the living (mediumship)
6. Death-related Phenomena ?an expert may investigate someone's out of body or near death experiences.
Paranormal experts are usually out in the field investigating, especially in places known to be high in paranormal activity. Such activity will be high in places where:
1. Violent or sudden deaths have occurred, such as battlefields, theaters, or hotels
2. People are buried, whether secretly or not, such as cemeteries, churches, and schools
3. Important historical events took place
4. Miserable people may have lived, such as prisons or hideouts
Paranormal experts are also well equipped with investigative gear such as cameras, thermal scanners, gauges to monitor changes in the electromagnetic field, and voice recorders.
Although working in a field that skeptics regard as taboo and a waste of resources, parapsychologists are interesting to watch in action, and read about after their investigations are done. If you are interested in parapsychology, then consult with a paranormal expert nearest you.
