Expert talk with famous Parapsychologist Dr George Mathew.
Parapsychology is a field of study that investigates paranormal or “psychic" phenomena. Researchers have looked for evidence of extrasensory perception (ESP), precognition (perceiving the future), telepathy (communicating mind-to-mind), and telekinesis (manipulating objects with the power of the mind). Parapsychologists refer to such alleged phenomena as psi. Other seemingly supernatural occurrences, such as out-of-body experiences, apparitions, and hauntings, have also been investigated.
Telepathy, like remote viewing, is dependent on the mind and its potential powers - yet it focuses on the ability to send and receive ideas or thoughts, rather than “seeing” distant objects and places. Ganzfeld experiments seek to make the mind more receptive to this purported phenomenon by depriving the senses (such as sight and hearing) while the subject “sends” information to a chosen recipient. Although proponents say evidence of telepathy has been shown, critics maintain that random chance, ineffective soundproofing and assumptions drawn from results skew the outcome of studies.
Alleged instances of precognition have been recorded throughout history. Tales of seers, diviners and prophets who could apparently see into the future are featured in Greek myths, the Bible, and the stories and accounts of societies around the world. Some of the most famous examples include the foreshadowing by the three witches in Macbeth and, outside of fiction, the prophecies of Nostradamus. The Society for Psychical Research has recorded cases of purported premonitions of future events since the 19th century, and it still attempts to do so today.
Simply put, this is the alleged ability of some people to move objects with their minds. In this photograph, from 1892, a table was ostensibly being levitated, while a researcher (on the right) checked that there was no cheating. James Randi, a notable skeptic and magician, is just one person who has demonstrated the very ordinary methods by which individuals can make objects appear to move without physical contact. Indeed, The James Randi Educational Foundation offers a $1 million prize for demonstrable proof of telekinesis and other parapsychological phenomena - a prize that has yet to be claimed.
Those who claim to have had near-death experiences commonly report phenomena such as seeing themselves out of their own body, moving through what seems to be a tunnel, or heading towards a bright light - as in Hieronymus Bosch’s painting Ascent of the Blessed, seen here. Since those who have died cannot report back, claims like these are naturally trickier to confirm or deny. Some research suggests, however, that such experiences are in fact the result of a coping mechanism adopted by the brain, where additional endorphins are released. If this is the case, then it is less a matter of faith than biochemistry.
Ghosts have been talked of and recorded for a very long period of time, immortalized in cultural texts ranging from Hamlet to spooky campfire stories; however, often these specters are proved to be false or hoaxes. Even the BBC aired a “documentary” that convinced many viewers of the truth of apparitions; it was, in fact, entirely staged.
In 2012, eBay banned the sale of paranormal items in an effort to protect its users, forfeiting millions of dollars in potential revenue. Sometimes, people claim to have captured the essence of a spirit on film - as in the “Brown Lady” photo from the 1930s, above - but these apparitions can usually be explained by camera flashes or double exposures, among other factors.
The notion of the aura can be found throughout history; taking the form of the halo in religious art, or the bands of color found on the Buddhist flag - symbolizing the aura said to have surrounded Buddha upon him reaching Enlightenment. In more recent times, the various hues apparent in auras have been designated different qualities. Orange auras occur when the subject is excited, whereas calmer personalities have a blue aura. And according to some, the auras can be cleansed using quartz crystals.
Remote viewing is the alleged ability to perceive an image or item that is obscured from the viewer’s sight. However, due to lack of positive, verifiable evidence, the concept has been somewhat discarded by the scientific community owing to a lack of evidence to back it up. At one time, the US government was even involved in research into remote viewing as part of the Stargate Project, an attempt to find military and domestic use for parapsychological abilities. The project was abandoned in 1995, as an independent review noted that it was “unclear” whether remote viewing’s existence had been demonstrated.
