Parapsychology
Introduction 

Science embraced the study of the supernatural over 150 years ago and a number of scientific research units around the world continue the work. These scientists push the boundaries of human belief and understanding, experimenting with the unknown and unusual.

Parapsychologists investigate a wide range of paranormal phenomena including clairvoyancy, telepathy, healing and the occult but with a healthy dose of scepticism and science.
