extranormal

Extranormal is a term used to describe phenomena or abilities that are considered to be outside the scope of normal scientific explanation or understanding. These phenomena often fall into categories such as the paranormal, supernatural, or psychic. Examples include telekinesis, precognition, clairvoyance, hauntings, and apparitions. While many people report experiencing or believing in extranormal events, scientific investigation has yet to provide conclusive evidence for their existence under controlled conditions.

The study of extranormal phenomena is often approached through parapsychology, a field that attempts to investigate purported psychic abilities and other paranormal claims using scientific methods. However, mainstream science generally remains skeptical due to the lack of repeatable, falsifiable results. Explanations for reported extranormal experiences often include psychological factors such as delusion, hallucination, misinterpretation of natural events, or the power of suggestion. Cultural beliefs and folklore also play a significant role in the prevalence and perception of such phenomena across different societies. The debate between belief and skepticism surrounding extranormal events continues, with proponents citing personal testimony and anecdotal evidence, while critics emphasize the need for rigorous scientific validation.
