Parapsychology
Parapsychology is an independent science that studies phenomena that cannot be explained by other scientific domains. If we wanted to define this science, we would say that parapsychology is a domain of research that studies parapsychological phenomena.
Parapsychological phenomena are those that involve perception beyond the natural sensorial capacities and cannot be explained on the basis of current physical laws or current scientific knowledge.
The object of study of parapsychology is phenomena such as intuition, telepathy, clairvoyance, etc., which were previously collectively called “extrasensory perception.”
It also studies physical phenomena such as telekinesis and pyrokinesis, formerly called “psychokinesis.”
Looking at the subject from a different angle, we could say that parapsychology studies the stories of all mysterious phenomena that, in one way or another, are connected with the human psyche.
These are mainly accounts of phenomena related to various teachings and practical methods, generally referred to as “occultism.” These accounts provide the impetus for new research in parapsychology.

This, of course, should not lead us to the conclusion that parapsychology is the same as occultism (just as chemistry is not the same as alchemy). What classifies any phenomenon as parapsychology is the fact that it lies outside the laws we know (to date) for the behavior of energies.
Based on all of the above, it is easy to see that the science of parapsychology has existed since ancient times. In modern history, the beginning of parapsychology is identified with the founding of the Society for Psychical Research in London in 1882. Six years later, a similar group was founded in the United States of America by psychologist William James, while in the following years, more research efforts in the same direction were noted in most European countries, especially in the Netherlands, France, Italy, Russia, and Japan.
Of particular interest was research conducted at the Parapsychology Laboratory at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.
The term Parapsychology was introduced around 1889 by psychologist Max Dessoir and adopted by Joseph Banks Rhine in the mid-1930s, replacing the term “psychical research” and marking a transition to laboratory methodologies that began to be applied to the study of psychic phenomena.
The science of parapsychology is the science that helps humans discover the previously unknown powers they possess and use them correctly, finding answers and interpreting everything they consider to be “unexplained phenomena.”
