Augustine Escoffier once rightly proclaimed that Novelty is the universal cry which irrefutably is the fundamental notion today underlying the open sphere of innovative researches being carried out all around us. But while craving for novel experiences is becoming an exceedingly common mania among people these days, eye-witness accounts of experiences have been and continue to raise eyebrows today when the description highlights the negative side of a person’s beliefs and affirms the existence of not so uncommonly discussed paranormal entities. Albeit claims and rumoured sightings of what people usually refer to as ghosts or spirits have been blatantly rejected by scientists often citing them as instances lacking concrete evidence resulting due to various natural phenomena, intriguing questions have never seized to sprout out regarding the unnatural occurrences or impossible to believe verbal narrations of stories in support of the presence of such abnormal or mysterious bodies.
Hence, while the actual existence of such entities or prevalence of psychic powers which they seem to possess are and shall continue to remain hotly debated, I find it absolutely necessary to discuss about what could be the stimulating processes in action or the mental forces underlying the psychological functioning during such particular times that may particularly lead an individual to encounter strange realities in a specific setting. Concepts such as population stereotype, Implicit Universality of Paranormal Beliefs, Sleep Paralysis, Existential Infrasound, Misperceived Self-Representation, Pareidolia and numerous other combined with disruptions in attention and mental processing seek to explain in great deal just how subtly one can witness a strange and spine-chilling experience without in fact being exposed to some actual relevant paranormal threat. Let me know if you are interested in knowing more about the psychology behind such experiences.
