Parapsychology Online Course Outline

Module 1: Introduction 

The study of supernatural and psychic phenomena is known as parapsychology. Despite the fact that many contemporary scientists see it as a pseudoscience, there have been numerous research published in prestigious universities and peer-reviewed journals. The findings are conflicting, and many experts are confused of how to gauge and categorize occurrences like clairvoyance. 

Defining Parapsychology 

Max Dessoir first used the word parapsychology to describe this branch of psychology in 1889. Extrasensory perception (ESP) and psychokinesis are two examples of phenomena that parapsychology seeks to comprehend. Parapsychology also investigates apparitional experiences, telepathy, precognition, clairvoyance, near-death experiences, and clairvoyance. 

The Oracle of Delphi 

Ancient Greek religious icon known as The Oracle of Delphi served as the temple's High Priestess of Apollo. The temple's construction date is unclear, but sources generally agree that it was operational long into the 4th century BCE. The greatest oracle in Greek culture was the one at Delphi. While several historical accounts reference oracular predictions, none of them go into detail on the divination method. Unfortunately, this happened a lot in ancient history, which is disappointing because the scribes of the time neglected to write what was generally understood. 

Nostradamus 

Nostradamus is one of the most well-known individuals who contributes to the general cultural idea of the supernatural. In 1503, a French astrologer and prophet named Nostradamus was born. He is well known for the book Les Prophéties, which is said to have accurately prophesied numerous tragic occurrences after his passing in 1566. 

Edgar Cayce 

American psychic Edgar Cayce lived from 1877 until 1945. He is regarded as a key player in the development of the New Age spiritual movement. Cayce thought that while he was sleeping, he attained a higher condition of being that gave him access to all minds that had ever lived. He was a devout Christian, yet his critics frequently claimed that his powers were demonic in origin, which he adamantly rejected. 

Baba Vanga 

Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova, often known as Baba Vanga, was a psychic from Bulgaria who possessed precognitive skills. She was hurt in an incident that many believe was caused by a tornado, and as a result she lost her sight. She is thought to have accurately foreseen a number of significant historical events, including the Chernobyl accident, even if some of her loved ones have challenged some of the claims made about her prophecies. She never recorded any of her visions, though, because she had limited literacy. 

Joseph Banks Rhine 

Botanist was Joseph Banks Rhine's profession. Rhine founded parapsychology despite not having a psychology degree, and his research on ESP at Duke University gave the field some respectability. But afterwards, they were interrogated. The most well-known of his experiments used Zener cards. These playing cards came in 25-card decks, with 5 sets of various symbols making up the entire collection. The decks were shuffled, and one card was chosen for guessing. 

William James 

William James' father was a prosperous theologian, and he was born in New York City in 1842. Despite earning a medical degree in 1869, he never worked as a practitioner. Instead, in 1873, he started instructing philosophy at Harvard. He was regarded as a generous and modest teacher. He established the disciplines of functional psychology and pragmatism in addition to his paranormal research. 

Module 2: Phenomena in Parapsychology 

The most often mentioned parapsychological phenomena will be covered in this second module. Individual researchers could have broader interests or specialize in a specific field. 

Psi and Extrasensory Perception 

It is crucial to start with the fundamentals while studying about parapsychology, such as the concept of psi and extrasensory perception (ESP). The numerous kinds of phenomena investigated in the field are referred to as psi. This can take the form of physical acts like manipulating an object with just your mind or it can take the form of mind-to-mind conversation. A perception that goes beyond the five main senses is ESP. Clairvoyance, precognition, and telepathy are only a few parapsychological phenomena that might be referred to as ESP. You can perceive things with ESP that are not now present in time or space. It enables one to perceive what has occurred or will occur. 

Precognition  

Finding out about the future through a dream or vision is known as precognition. It entails being aware of an occurrence before it occurs. The focus of precognition is not on willfully influencing an occurrence to occur. Instead, it is thought that this event foretells the occurrence of what the subject asserts is already set in stone. 

Clairvoyance  

The ability to see unknown information, such as future events, or gain knowledge about faraway locations using a sense other than the conventional five physical senses is known as clairvoyance, which is translated from the French as "clear vision." It's thought that clairvoyance is an instance of extrasensory perception, or ESP. 

Telepathy  

Telepathy is the ability to communicate with people solely via the mind. Without the use of signs or words, thoughts can be transferred from one person's mind to another through telepathy. People who use telepathy can experience another person's sensations or emotions. The Greek words tele (meaning "far off") and patheia (meaning "suffering or emotion") are the origins of the adjective telepathic. 

Psychokinesis or Telekinesis  

The psychic skill of manipulating items with the strength of the mind without any physical contact is known as psychokinesis, also known as telekinesis. Many individuals believe that psychokinesis is connected to the spiritual world and that ghosts and poltergeists are actually the unconscious outpourings of a person's psychic turmoil or fury rather than manifestations of the deceased. 

Out-of-Body Experiences  

A person can experience this when they are able to observe things while being detached from or outside of their physical body. It has been described as having the sensation of floating outside of one's body or of looking down on oneself. 

Apparitions or Hauntings  

Ghosts, demons, spirits, or angels may make an appearance during an apparition, which is when something extraordinary or incomprehensible does so. Classic ghost stories like The Amityville Horror and The Bell Witch were inspired by this phenomenon. 

Past Lives 

The phenomenon of remembering previous incarnations is known as reincarnation. It has been said that young children can recollect their past lives in remarkable detail. They sometimes even assert having tangible remains from their demise. 

Remote Viewing 

Remote viewing, as the name implies, is the activity of learning details about a distant item, location, or target without being physically present. Government agencies have paid close attention to this occurrence since it may be useful for obtaining intelligence. 

Popular Theories of Parapsychology  

There are those that believe in the paranormal besides the eccentric neighbor or the psychic down town. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the celebrated creator of the Sherlock Holmes books, has admitted that he communicated with ghosts using mediums. The renowned mathematician and logician Alan Turing believed in telepathy. Even Winston Churchill, who is best known for guiding Britain through World War II, said that the ghost of Abraham Lincoln visited him while he was at the White House. 

Protection 

The paranormal can act as a form of barrier against the harsh reality of the outside world, psychologists who have also studied religion have long hypothesized. According to the hypothesis, the brain searches for the correct explanations whenever an unexpected event, such as the death of a loved one or a natural disaster, occurs. 

Cultural Habits 

Whether they genuinely believe in the paranormal or not, many individuals will immediately practice the popular superstition of knocking on wood. It is frequently uttered as a wish for luck to continue after someone expresses confidence or optimism. 

Anthropomorphism 

The attribution of human behavior or features to a deity, animal, or inanimate object is known as anthropomorphism. A fictional person who is not human but acts like one in a book, television program, or film is said to be anthropomorphic. Despite the fact that anthropomorphism can appear in different kinds of stories, it is most frequently found in folktales or children's stories. Among the most well-known instances of anthropomorphism are Simba from The Lion King, Winnie the Pooh, and The Little Engine that Could. 

Studies and Skeptics 

In a recent experiment led by Tapani Riekki, a leading researcher from the University of Helsinki in Finland, both believers and debunkers were asked to watch simple animations of moving shapes while they were laying inside a brain scanner. He discovered that people who believed in the paranormal were more likely to perceive some sort of purpose behind every action, and this was reflected in their increased brain activity in the areas related to the theory of the mind and comprehending the motivations of others.

Equipment Used in Parapsychology  

Those who are passionate about ghost hunting will spend thousands of dollars on devices allegedly capable of detecting changes in airflow, energy fields, and paranormal activity. Even while some people might think it's all a scam, the money spent on this equipment is very legitimate; some people even spend more than $5,000 on a beginning kit. 

Electromagnetic Field Meter  

The instrument most often used in parapsychology is an electromagnetic field meter (EMF). It frequently appears in television programs and motion pictures that feature ghost-hunting pursuits. However, whether or not the activity is spiritual, an EMF is a real tool that may be used to record oscillations in electromagnetic fields. Many paranormal specialists hold the opinion that ghosts can produce their own frequencies, which, if they are nearby, can trigger an EMF machine. 

Video Cameras 

Experts in the paranormal will employ a range of equipment, from digital and infrared cameras to 35mm film and conventional video cameras attached to digital recorders. These are capable of detecting sound inputs, movement, and other odd events. Night vision cameras are particularly useful to have since they can assist you detect activity that you would miss when using a conventional video camera or the camera on your phone. A night vision camera is an essential tool to have on hand because most ghost hunting takes place inside of dark and foreboding homes and institutions or late at night outdoors in the woods. 

Specialty Tools 

Specialty instruments include the Mel-8704-ProNavigator, for example. It is thought to concurrently measure both temperature and EMF signals. A Mel-8704-ProNavigator is used to find the electromagnetic field's primary source. A quick temperature probe that can also locate hot and cold regions is present. 

Module 3: Controversy 

The topic of parapsychology's contentious character and the reasons why it is a strongly contested field are covered in Module 3. Many academics have come under fire for researching the paranormal and making an effort to use science to prove its reality. You will discover more about the replication crisis and whether there is unambiguous evidence. To help you understand what to anticipate as you enter the field of parapsychology as a professional, we'll also examine what the general public thinks about parapsychology. 

Public Misconception 

The public and the media frequently misunderstand or misinterpret the idea of parapsychology. People think parapsychology is about unscientific beliefs and paranormal tales. 

Fear 

The unknown generally terrifies individuals, and this includes the study of extrasensory experience. It is almost impossible to comprehend psi using biological and physical mechanisms. Because of this, the majority of people have connected it with witchcraft, sorcery, and other evil powers. 

Publications 

Lack of published journals or research papers on parapsychology is another obstacle to parapsychology research. When compared to other disciplines, results from databases that interested parties can subscribe to to find journals that have previously published on parapsychology are comparably limited. 

Ostracism in Academia 

Many scientists are reluctant to study parapsychology out of concern that they will be shunned by their peers. The majority of academics avoid anything related to fringe issues that depart from mainstream topics in order to maintain good standing with their respective institutions. 

The Replication Crisis 

Replication is a phrase used in parapsychology to denote the purposeful reproduction of a study with different people or circumstances. Replication seeks to determine whether a study can be applied to different situations or people with the same overall results. Famous parapsychologist Daryl Bem conducted tests in 2011 to demonstrate that psi may be replicated and demonstrated scientifically. His experiment's findings, though, sparked a replication crisis. 

Chapman University 

The traits of Americans who were most prone to believe in psi or paranormal activity were examined as part of a study of American anxieties carried out by Chapman University. They evaluated the effects of factors such as age, education, gender, employment position, etc. The questionnaire covered a wide range of topics, including Bigfoot and haunted houses. Both blatantly supernatural beliefs like clairvoyance and more conventionally scientific theories like the possibility of aliens were discussed. 

Movies and Fiction 

These tales explore various facets of extrasensory perception and other inexplicable forces, from investigating psychic powers to time travel. The television program Medium depicts the life of medium Allison Dubois, who utilizes her capacity to communicate with the dead to assist in solving crimes. Sometimes Allison experiences images of hypothetical events. Allison fights to keep her powers a secret from everyone around her while she works to assist the police. There is a real-world basis for the practice of deploying psychics to support police investigations. Those alliances have very occasionally taken place. Using this approach in popular culture and entertainment shows how mediumship and psychic skills are ingrained in our society as a whole. 

Feats and Investigation 

Some television programs don't merely feature aspects of psychic powers. Rather, they are committed to examining the phenomenon and demonstrating what is feasible. One of the best examples of this is the psychic powers show Mindfreak, which featured Criss Angel, one of the most well-known psychics in modern society. He has astounded audiences all over the world with his remarkable telekinetic and mind-reading exploits and persuaded many that such powers actually exist. 

Live Shows 

Live performances are another another way that the supernatural and ESP are made accessible to the public as a part of mainstream culture and entertainment. These are frequently marketed as mediums and psychics who can use information from the audience to make predictions or speak with the afterlife. The psychic or medium will frequently also share some of their own personal experiences. This could include the history of how they came to possess their skills, whether they've had any near-death encounters, or how they feel about doubt regarding their gifts. 

Module 4: Case Studies and Anecdotal History 

In this section of the course, we'll talk about parapsychological case studies and some of the ghost stories that have been told orally throughout history. This will cover important researchers, hypotheses, and psychic ability testing. 

Reincarnation 

Past lives and whether consciousness may survive outside of a physical body are two major research areas in parapsychology. Dr. Ian Stevenson, a psychiatrist with a medical degree, was the person who first started the work in this sector. In Asia, where reincarnation is more widely accepted, he had the most success in his investigation. Buddhists, for instance, think that people who attain enlightenment may be reincarnated to assist others on the same path. 

Psychic Testing 

Since the public has traditionally rejected claims of psychic ability, some research have attempted to demonstrate parapsychological phenomena with varying degrees of success. Famous medium Patricia Putt made an effort to demonstrate her abilities as part of a project started by the James Randi Educational Foundation. 

Dr. Daryl Bem 

Professor Daryl Bem investigated the presence of psi and ESP over the course of 8 years and several tests involving more than 1,000 research participants. Dr. Bem created a strict testing procedure to demonstrate the existence of ESP since precognition had always piqued his attention. He had articles on his work published in well-known, prominent journals including the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. Prior to Dr. Bem's trials, the majority of precognition research concentrated on conscious prediction. 

Haunted Buildings 

President Lincoln is the most frequently seen ghost or figure in the White House. He supposedly arrives when the country is going through a particularly trying moment or is in desperate need. It's not just important buildings that have been the subject of several reports of ghosts in one location. For instance, it is rumored that several D'Souza Chawl residents haunt the building in the Indian city of Mahim. Years ago, a woman who accidentally fell into one of the property's wells died. Her spirit, according to the locals, has never left. Once night falls, some people even make it a point to stay indoors. 

The Sheep-Goat Effect 

Researchers in the parapsychology field have frequently pondered how one's personal beliefs can affect their psychic ability. Religion and other cultural factors can have a big impact on how people think about extrasensory perception and other skills that go beyond what is currently understood by science. According to important research, people who have psychic skills tend to perform better than those who don't because they believe in the paranormal (sheep) (goats). The term "sheep-goat effect" was coined by City University of New York psychology professor Gertrude Schmeidler, who also gave the two groups their names. 

Testing Mediums 

Early in the 1920s, William McDougall arrived at Harvard to lead the Psychology Department. His interest in parapsychological research coincided with a rise in public support for such studies in the years following World War I as people struggled to deal with the enormous loss of human life. To see if those who claimed to be mediums could demonstrate their abilities in a professional context, Scientific American sponsored a competition. They chose Harry Houdini, together with McDougall and a few others, to serve on a commission that would oversee the testing procedure. 

Leonora’s Trances 

While serving as the president of the Society for Psychical Research, William James had one of the most life-changing encounters when he met Leonora, a medium who had the ability to communicate with several spirits. James was dubious since he had already come across so many con artists who pretended to be psychic by putting on elaborate displays and costumes. Leonora stood out, though, in part because she didn't advertise. She was modest about her powers once she realized she could communicate with the dead, in contrast to the false psychics James had already encountered. 

Near-Death Experiences 

What happens to persons who recall memories of a period when they were dying or very close to death has been the subject of several research. Dr. Pim van Lommel examined 13 years' worth of near-death encounters in the Netherlands in a research that was published in The Lancet in 2001. A total of 344 patients took part, and 18% said they could recall at least some specifics of their near-death experience. Two-thirds of that group had gone through a profound version, which included meeting loved ones, witnessing events from their lives play again, or being taken somewhere else. 

Module 5: Journals and Research Organizations 

The research opportunities, associations, and publications that support the discipline of parapsychology will be covered in this section of the course. Despite being a specialized field of study, the paranormal and psychic skills have attracted attention consistently throughout modern history. This includes both scholarly theory and exacting scientific research. 

The Parapsychological Association 

There are just a few parapsychology publications and research groups, among them the Parapsychological Association (PA).  The PA is a global association of academics and researchers who study psi. When looking into psychic occurrences, the group considers a wide range of phenomena, including psychokinesis, telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychic healing. Its primary goal is to determine if these events can be explained by existing theory or whether they are the result of undiscovered principles using scientific technique. The association's rigorous investigation makes sure that these ideas aren't dismissed out of hand by the skeptical attitude of the larger scientific community. 

The Duke Parapsychology Laboratory 

Young biologist Dr. J. B. Rhine received encouragement from his peers to carry out experimental studies into life after death. At the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research in Yonkers, New York, he lectured for a year. He later established parapsychology as a subfield of psychology. His interests led to a position in Duke University's psychology department. He changed his concentration to studying psychic phenomena while he was there, concentrating on clairvoyance and telepathy. Rhine thought that further knowledge was needed in these areas. He asked volunteers from Duke students to serve as his subjects. 

The Rhine Research Center 

This facility conducts independent, nonprofit psychology research. It gives a methodological approach to extraordinary human encounters and odd happenings. The center was established by Dr. J. B. Rhine after his retirement from Duke University. It is no longer connected to the institution in any way. It continues parapsychology research and provides online courses and gatherings for those who are interested in these phenomena. The leader at the moment is Barbara Ensrud. Parapsychological research has been conducted at the Rhine Research Center for approximately 85 years. 

Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research 

The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) lab was established by Robert Jahn in 1979. His objective was to investigate whether awareness might make use of physical processes. Volunteers were employed in every experiment conducted in the lab. The lab applied scientific techniques to demonstrate results that, on their own, our current understanding of science is unable to explain. Six scientists worked at the facility under Brenda Dunne's supervision. There were interns on hand to help out the visiting researchers. The impact that the mind seems to have on physical equipment was studied in the lab. 

University of Virginia Division of Perceptual Studies 

The University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS) was established to assess the evidence that suggests awareness endures after death. DOPS also holds that the mind and brain are separate and distinct from one another. DOPS notes that a large number of scientists and philosophers are reevaluating the prevailing physicalist perspective as being essentially flawed. According to DOPS, science needs to take on more leadership roles to make place for real spiritual encounters without appearing to compromise its objectivity. 

The Journal of Parapsychology 

Although there are many parapsychological publications, many researchers prefer publishing in well-known journals to raise the stature of their work among peers. The Journal of Parapsychology is one of the primary journals in the area. This twice-yearly, peer-reviewed publication specializes in studies of paranormal abilities like telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and psychokinesis. It also covers odd encounters and human awareness. The magazine was started by Dr. J. B. Rhine in April 1937. 

Journal of the Society for Psychical Research 

The Journal of the Society for Psychical Research was first published exclusively for members. Its primary emphasis at the moment is on ongoing laboratory and field research. It encompasses parapsychology study that is theoretical, methodological, and historical. One of the first publications of its kind was published in Britain. A group of eminent philosophers established the Society for Psychical Research in 1882. They established six fields of research, including mediumship, mind transference, mesmerism, séances, haunted houses, and apparitions. 

Module 6: Professional Parapsychology 

The professional prerequisites to work in the parapsychology sector will be covered in Module 6. There are several routes that can prepare prospective parapsychologists to enter this specialty because this field is very specialized. To work on research at this level, you will typically require a doctorate or graduate degree. There is no one specific major or field of study that leads to a career in parapsychology. 

Degree Requirements  

Without a graduate degree, you can still contribute your knowledge and experience to parapsychology. Your findings from independent research, however, are more likely to be challenged because they aren't connected to an academic or scientific study conducted by an organization. There are certain abilities, viewpoints, and study techniques that you can only learn through formal education. A graduate degree will make you more respected as a parapsychologist. 

Navigating College and Higher Education 

A graduate degree that offers research capabilities for parapsychology and other subjects is advised for prospective students by parapsychology experts. Possessing a proven track record of publishing research in esteemed publications is advantageous. There aren't many parapsychology programs that are accredited. Online courses are possible, but the majority of them are not recognized by any reputable educational institution. 

Challenges of Working in Parapsychology  

Other fields of psychology or science do not have the same difficulties as parapsychologists experience. Regardless of how many individuals believe in it or how well the facts are documented, paranormal research is frequently viewed with suspicion. Unfortunately, compared to more well-established fields like physics, the area does not have as much direct evidence to back it. If a parapsychologist solely wants to study the supernatural and paranormal, there isn't much work for them to do. Because parapsychology is such a specialized science, funding can sometimes be a challenge for parapsychologists. 

Professional Parapsychology Organizations  

  • The Parapsychological Association
  • Society for Psychical Research
  • The American Society for Psychical Research 

Desirable Personal Qualities 

Open-mindedness is among the best traits for a parapsychologist. Parapsychologists must be willing to consider the potential of extrasensory and paranormal activity, but it's also critical to consider the science involved in each case. You can distinguish between rationally explicable happenings and supernatural occurrences with the help of your capacity for scientific explanation. To guarantee accurate and impartial outcomes, one must be able to convey the facts and evaluate the evidence. 

Government Careers 

It's interesting to note that not all parapsychology jobs have been confined to the worlds of academia or business. Government-sponsored opportunities have also existed throughout history all around the world. Former Israeli army paratrooper Uri Geller asserted that he possessed extrasensory perception abilities in the 1970s. Geller asserted that he had supernatural abilities, including the capacity to read minds and bend spoons with his mind. 

Career Case Study: Dr. Jim Tucker 

Researchers at the University of Virginia Division of Perceptual Studies have looked into cases where kids claimed to remember memories from a prior life for the past 60 years. Dr. Ian Stevenson had a significant role in the field, as you may remember from prior courses, and Dr. Jim Tucker took up the project once Stevenson retired. Dr. Tucker provides a summary of the division's investigation into many American instances in his book Life Before Life. In his follow-up book Return to Life, which became a New York Times bestseller, he expands on these experiences. 

Future Opportunities 

The character of the sector could alter over time as a result of developing technologies. There may be discoveries in parapsychology that weren't previously feasible as the scientific community makes progress and creates new tools. Research can be greatly influenced by discoveries and innovations that are not parapsychological. For instance, in the past, it was difficult to locate case studies and connect with a variety of potential individuals. With the internet's extraordinary global connectivity, it is now possible to speak with millions of people at once on a completely new level.

Recognition & Accreditation

Upon successful completion of this course and achieving a passing score for the assessment, you will have a better understanding of Parapsychology and how to examine this phenomenon. You will also be issued with an international continuing education credit (CEU) certificate.

The Certificate is applicable worldwide, which demonstrates your commitment to learning new skills. You can share the certificate with your friends, relatives, co-workers, and potential employers. Also, include it in your resume/CV, professional social media profiles and job applications.

Parapsychology Online Course Outline

Module 1: Introduction 

The study of supernatural and psychic phenomena is known as parapsychology. Despite the fact that many contemporary scientists see it as a pseudoscience, there have been numerous research published in prestigious universities and peer-reviewed journals. The findings are conflicting, and many experts are confused of how to gauge and categorize occurrences like clairvoyance. 

Defining Parapsychology 

Max Dessoir first used the word parapsychology to describe this branch of psychology in 1889. Extrasensory perception (ESP) and psychokinesis are two examples of phenomena that parapsychology seeks to comprehend. Parapsychology also investigates apparitional experiences, telepathy, precognition, clairvoyance, near-death experiences, and clairvoyance. 

The Oracle of Delphi 

Ancient Greek religious icon known as The Oracle of Delphi served as the temple's High Priestess of Apollo. The temple's construction date is unclear, but sources generally agree that it was operational long into the 4th century BCE. The greatest oracle in Greek culture was the one at Delphi. While several historical accounts reference oracular predictions, none of them go into detail on the divination method. Unfortunately, this happened a lot in ancient history, which is disappointing because the scribes of the time neglected to write what was generally understood. 

Nostradamus 

Nostradamus is one of the most well-known individuals who contributes to the general cultural idea of the supernatural. In 1503, a French astrologer and prophet named Nostradamus was born. He is well known for the book Les Prophéties, which is said to have accurately prophesied numerous tragic occurrences after his passing in 1566. 

Edgar Cayce 

American psychic Edgar Cayce lived from 1877 until 1945. He is regarded as a key player in the development of the New Age spiritual movement. Cayce thought that while he was sleeping, he attained a higher condition of being that gave him access to all minds that had ever lived. He was a devout Christian, yet his critics frequently claimed that his powers were demonic in origin, which he adamantly rejected. 

Baba Vanga 

Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova, often known as Baba Vanga, was a psychic from Bulgaria who possessed precognitive skills. She was hurt in an incident that many believe was caused by a tornado, and as a result she lost her sight. She is thought to have accurately foreseen a number of significant historical events, including the Chernobyl accident, even if some of her loved ones have challenged some of the claims made about her prophecies. She never recorded any of her visions, though, because she had limited literacy. 

Joseph Banks Rhine 

Botanist was Joseph Banks Rhine's profession. Rhine founded parapsychology despite not having a psychology degree, and his research on ESP at Duke University gave the field some respectability. But afterwards, they were interrogated. The most well-known of his experiments used Zener cards. These playing cards came in 25-card decks, with 5 sets of various symbols making up the entire collection. The decks were shuffled, and one card was chosen for guessing. 

William James 

William James' father was a prosperous theologian, and he was born in New York City in 1842. Despite earning a medical degree in 1869, he never worked as a practitioner. Instead, in 1873, he started instructing philosophy at Harvard. He was regarded as a generous and modest teacher. He established the disciplines of functional psychology and pragmatism in addition to his paranormal research. 

Module 2: Phenomena in Parapsychology 

The most often mentioned parapsychological phenomena will be covered in this second module. Individual researchers could have broader interests or specialize in a specific field. 

Psi and Extrasensory Perception 

It is crucial to start with the fundamentals while studying about parapsychology, such as the concept of psi and extrasensory perception (ESP). The numerous kinds of phenomena investigated in the field are referred to as psi. This can take the form of physical acts like manipulating an object with just your mind or it can take the form of mind-to-mind conversation. A perception that goes beyond the five main senses is ESP. Clairvoyance, precognition, and telepathy are only a few parapsychological phenomena that might be referred to as ESP. You can perceive things with ESP that are not now present in time or space. It enables one to perceive what has occurred or will occur. 

Precognition  

Finding out about the future through a dream or vision is known as precognition. It entails being aware of an occurrence before it occurs. The focus of precognition is not on willfully influencing an occurrence to occur. Instead, it is thought that this event foretells the occurrence of what the subject asserts is already set in stone. 

Clairvoyance  

The ability to see unknown information, such as future events, or gain knowledge about faraway locations using a sense other than the conventional five physical senses is known as clairvoyance, which is translated from the French as "clear vision." It's thought that clairvoyance is an instance of extrasensory perception, or ESP. 

Telepathy  

Telepathy is the ability to communicate with people solely via the mind. Without the use of signs or words, thoughts can be transferred from one person's mind to another through telepathy. People who use telepathy can experience another person's sensations or emotions. The Greek words tele (meaning "far off") and patheia (meaning "suffering or emotion") are the origins of the adjective telepathic. 

Psychokinesis or Telekinesis  

The psychic skill of manipulating items with the strength of the mind without any physical contact is known as psychokinesis, also known as telekinesis. Many individuals believe that psychokinesis is connected to the spiritual world and that ghosts and poltergeists are actually the unconscious outpourings of a person's psychic turmoil or fury rather than manifestations of the deceased. 

Out-of-Body Experiences  

A person can experience this when they are able to observe things while being detached from or outside of their physical body. It has been described as having the sensation of floating outside of one's body or of looking down on oneself. 

Apparitions or Hauntings  

Ghosts, demons, spirits, or angels may make an appearance during an apparition, which is when something extraordinary or incomprehensible does so. Classic ghost stories like The Amityville Horror and The Bell Witch were inspired by this phenomenon. 

Past Lives 

The phenomenon of remembering previous incarnations is known as reincarnation. It has been said that young children can recollect their past lives in remarkable detail. They sometimes even assert having tangible remains from their demise. 

Remote Viewing 

Remote viewing, as the name implies, is the activity of learning details about a distant item, location, or target without being physically present. Government agencies have paid close attention to this occurrence since it may be useful for obtaining intelligence. 

Popular Theories of Parapsychology  

There are those that believe in the paranormal besides the eccentric neighbor or the psychic down town. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the celebrated creator of the Sherlock Holmes books, has admitted that he communicated with ghosts using mediums. The renowned mathematician and logician Alan Turing believed in telepathy. Even Winston Churchill, who is best known for guiding Britain through World War II, said that the ghost of Abraham Lincoln visited him while he was at the White House. 

Protection 

The paranormal can act as a form of barrier against the harsh reality of the outside world, psychologists who have also studied religion have long hypothesized. According to the hypothesis, the brain searches for the correct explanations whenever an unexpected event, such as the death of a loved one or a natural disaster, occurs. 

Cultural Habits 

Whether they genuinely believe in the paranormal or not, many individuals will immediately practice the popular superstition of knocking on wood. It is frequently uttered as a wish for luck to continue after someone expresses confidence or optimism. 

Anthropomorphism 

The attribution of human behavior or features to a deity, animal, or inanimate object is known as anthropomorphism. A fictional person who is not human but acts like one in a book, television program, or film is said to be anthropomorphic. Despite the fact that anthropomorphism can appear in different kinds of stories, it is most frequently found in folktales or children's stories. Among the most well-known instances of anthropomorphism are Simba from The Lion King, Winnie the Pooh, and The Little Engine that Could. 

Studies and Skeptics 

In a recent experiment led by Tapani Riekki, a leading researcher from the University of Helsinki in Finland, both believers and debunkers were asked to watch simple animations of moving shapes while they were laying inside a brain scanner. He discovered that people who believed in the paranormal were more likely to perceive some sort of purpose behind every action, and this was reflected in their increased brain activity in the areas related to the theory of the mind and comprehending the motivations of others.

Equipment Used in Parapsychology  

Those who are passionate about ghost hunting will spend thousands of dollars on devices allegedly capable of detecting changes in airflow, energy fields, and paranormal activity. Even while some people might think it's all a scam, the money spent on this equipment is very legitimate; some people even spend more than $5,000 on a beginning kit. 

Electromagnetic Field Meter  

The instrument most often used in parapsychology is an electromagnetic field meter (EMF). It frequently appears in television programs and motion pictures that feature ghost-hunting pursuits. However, whether or not the activity is spiritual, an EMF is a real tool that may be used to record oscillations in electromagnetic fields. Many paranormal specialists hold the opinion that ghosts can produce their own frequencies, which, if they are nearby, can trigger an EMF machine. 

Video Cameras 

Experts in the paranormal will employ a range of equipment, from digital and infrared cameras to 35mm film and conventional video cameras attached to digital recorders. These are capable of detecting sound inputs, movement, and other odd events. Night vision cameras are particularly useful to have since they can assist you detect activity that you would miss when using a conventional video camera or the camera on your phone. A night vision camera is an essential tool to have on hand because most ghost hunting takes place inside of dark and foreboding homes and institutions or late at night outdoors in the woods. 

Specialty Tools 

Specialty instruments include the Mel-8704-ProNavigator, for example. It is thought to concurrently measure both temperature and EMF signals. A Mel-8704-ProNavigator is used to find the electromagnetic field's primary source. A quick temperature probe that can also locate hot and cold regions is present. 

Module 3: Controversy 

The topic of parapsychology's contentious character and the reasons why it is a strongly contested field are covered in Module 3. Many academics have come under fire for researching the paranormal and making an effort to use science to prove its reality. You will discover more about the replication crisis and whether there is unambiguous evidence. To help you understand what to anticipate as you enter the field of parapsychology as a professional, we'll also examine what the general public thinks about parapsychology. 

Public Misconception 

The public and the media frequently misunderstand or misinterpret the idea of parapsychology. People think parapsychology is about unscientific beliefs and paranormal tales. 

Fear 

The unknown generally terrifies individuals, and this includes the study of extrasensory experience. It is almost impossible to comprehend psi using biological and physical mechanisms. Because of this, the majority of people have connected it with witchcraft, sorcery, and other evil powers. 

Publications 

Lack of published journals or research papers on parapsychology is another obstacle to parapsychology research. When compared to other disciplines, results from databases that interested parties can subscribe to to find journals that have previously published on parapsychology are comparably limited. 

Ostracism in Academia 

Many scientists are reluctant to study parapsychology out of concern that they will be shunned by their peers. The majority of academics avoid anything related to fringe issues that depart from mainstream topics in order to maintain good standing with their respective institutions. 

The Replication Crisis 

Replication is a phrase used in parapsychology to denote the purposeful reproduction of a study with different people or circumstances. Replication seeks to determine whether a study can be applied to different situations or people with the same overall results. Famous parapsychologist Daryl Bem conducted tests in 2011 to demonstrate that psi may be replicated and demonstrated scientifically. His experiment's findings, though, sparked a replication crisis. 

Chapman University 

The traits of Americans who were most prone to believe in psi or paranormal activity were examined as part of a study of American anxieties carried out by Chapman University. They evaluated the effects of factors such as age, education, gender, employment position, etc. The questionnaire covered a wide range of topics, including Bigfoot and haunted houses. Both blatantly supernatural beliefs like clairvoyance and more conventionally scientific theories like the possibility of aliens were discussed. 

Movies and Fiction 

These tales explore various facets of extrasensory perception and other inexplicable forces, from investigating psychic powers to time travel. The television program Medium depicts the life of medium Allison Dubois, who utilizes her capacity to communicate with the dead to assist in solving crimes. Sometimes Allison experiences images of hypothetical events. Allison fights to keep her powers a secret from everyone around her while she works to assist the police. There is a real-world basis for the practice of deploying psychics to support police investigations. Those alliances have very occasionally taken place. Using this approach in popular culture and entertainment shows how mediumship and psychic skills are ingrained in our society as a whole. 

Feats and Investigation 

Some television programs don't merely feature aspects of psychic powers. Rather, they are committed to examining the phenomenon and demonstrating what is feasible. One of the best examples of this is the psychic powers show Mindfreak, which featured Criss Angel, one of the most well-known psychics in modern society. He has astounded audiences all over the world with his remarkable telekinetic and mind-reading exploits and persuaded many that such powers actually exist. 

Live Shows 

Live performances are another another way that the supernatural and ESP are made accessible to the public as a part of mainstream culture and entertainment. These are frequently marketed as mediums and psychics who can use information from the audience to make predictions or speak with the afterlife. The psychic or medium will frequently also share some of their own personal experiences. This could include the history of how they came to possess their skills, whether they've had any near-death encounters, or how they feel about doubt regarding their gifts. 

Module 4: Case Studies and Anecdotal History 

In this section of the course, we'll talk about parapsychological case studies and some of the ghost stories that have been told orally throughout history. This will cover important researchers, hypotheses, and psychic ability testing. 

Reincarnation 

Past lives and whether consciousness may survive outside of a physical body are two major research areas in parapsychology. Dr. Ian Stevenson, a psychiatrist with a medical degree, was the person who first started the work in this sector. In Asia, where reincarnation is more widely accepted, he had the most success in his investigation. Buddhists, for instance, think that people who attain enlightenment may be reincarnated to assist others on the same path. 

Psychic Testing 

Since the public has traditionally rejected claims of psychic ability, some research have attempted to demonstrate parapsychological phenomena with varying degrees of success. Famous medium Patricia Putt made an effort to demonstrate her abilities as part of a project started by the James Randi Educational Foundation. 

Dr. Daryl Bem 

Professor Daryl Bem investigated the presence of psi and ESP over the course of 8 years and several tests involving more than 1,000 research participants. Dr. Bem created a strict testing procedure to demonstrate the existence of ESP since precognition had always piqued his attention. He had articles on his work published in well-known, prominent journals including the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. Prior to Dr. Bem's trials, the majority of precognition research concentrated on conscious prediction. 

Haunted Buildings 

President Lincoln is the most frequently seen ghost or figure in the White House. He supposedly arrives when the country is going through a particularly trying moment or is in desperate need. It's not just important buildings that have been the subject of several reports of ghosts in one location. For instance, it is rumored that several D'Souza Chawl residents haunt the building in the Indian city of Mahim. Years ago, a woman who accidentally fell into one of the property's wells died. Her spirit, according to the locals, has never left. Once night falls, some people even make it a point to stay indoors. 

The Sheep-Goat Effect 

Researchers in the parapsychology field have frequently pondered how one's personal beliefs can affect their psychic ability. Religion and other cultural factors can have a big impact on how people think about extrasensory perception and other skills that go beyond what is currently understood by science. According to important research, people who have psychic skills tend to perform better than those who don't because they believe in the paranormal (sheep) (goats). The term "sheep-goat effect" was coined by City University of New York psychology professor Gertrude Schmeidler, who also gave the two groups their names. 

Testing Mediums 

Early in the 1920s, William McDougall arrived at Harvard to lead the Psychology Department. His interest in parapsychological research coincided with a rise in public support for such studies in the years following World War I as people struggled to deal with the enormous loss of human life. To see if those who claimed to be mediums could demonstrate their abilities in a professional context, Scientific American sponsored a competition. They chose Harry Houdini, together with McDougall and a few others, to serve on a commission that would oversee the testing procedure. 

Leonora’s Trances 

While serving as the president of the Society for Psychical Research, William James had one of the most life-changing encounters when he met Leonora, a medium who had the ability to communicate with several spirits. James was dubious since he had already come across so many con artists who pretended to be psychic by putting on elaborate displays and costumes. Leonora stood out, though, in part because she didn't advertise. She was modest about her powers once she realized she could communicate with the dead, in contrast to the false psychics James had already encountered. 

Near-Death Experiences 

What happens to persons who recall memories of a period when they were dying or very close to death has been the subject of several research. Dr. Pim van Lommel examined 13 years' worth of near-death encounters in the Netherlands in a research that was published in The Lancet in 2001. A total of 344 patients took part, and 18% said they could recall at least some specifics of their near-death experience. Two-thirds of that group had gone through a profound version, which included meeting loved ones, witnessing events from their lives play again, or being taken somewhere else. 

Module 5: Journals and Research Organizations 

The research opportunities, associations, and publications that support the discipline of parapsychology will be covered in this section of the course. Despite being a specialized field of study, the paranormal and psychic skills have attracted attention consistently throughout modern history. This includes both scholarly theory and exacting scientific research. 

The Parapsychological Association 

There are just a few parapsychology publications and research groups, among them the Parapsychological Association (PA).  The PA is a global association of academics and researchers who study psi. When looking into psychic occurrences, the group considers a wide range of phenomena, including psychokinesis, telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychic healing. Its primary goal is to determine if these events can be explained by existing theory or whether they are the result of undiscovered principles using scientific technique. The association's rigorous investigation makes sure that these ideas aren't dismissed out of hand by the skeptical attitude of the larger scientific community. 

The Duke Parapsychology Laboratory 

Young biologist Dr. J. B. Rhine received encouragement from his peers to carry out experimental studies into life after death. At the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research in Yonkers, New York, he lectured for a year. He later established parapsychology as a subfield of psychology. His interests led to a position in Duke University's psychology department. He changed his concentration to studying psychic phenomena while he was there, concentrating on clairvoyance and telepathy. Rhine thought that further knowledge was needed in these areas. He asked volunteers from Duke students to serve as his subjects. 

The Rhine Research Center 

This facility conducts independent, nonprofit psychology research. It gives a methodological approach to extraordinary human encounters and odd happenings. The center was established by Dr. J. B. Rhine after his retirement from Duke University. It is no longer connected to the institution in any way. It continues parapsychology research and provides online courses and gatherings for those who are interested in these phenomena. The leader at the moment is Barbara Ensrud. Parapsychological research has been conducted at the Rhine Research Center for approximately 85 years. 

Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research 

The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) lab was established by Robert Jahn in 1979. His objective was to investigate whether awareness might make use of physical processes. Volunteers were employed in every experiment conducted in the lab. The lab applied scientific techniques to demonstrate results that, on their own, our current understanding of science is unable to explain. Six scientists worked at the facility under Brenda Dunne's supervision. There were interns on hand to help out the visiting researchers. The impact that the mind seems to have on physical equipment was studied in the lab. 

University of Virginia Division of Perceptual Studies 

The University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS) was established to assess the evidence that suggests awareness endures after death. DOPS also holds that the mind and brain are separate and distinct from one another. DOPS notes that a large number of scientists and philosophers are reevaluating the prevailing physicalist perspective as being essentially flawed. According to DOPS, science needs to take on more leadership roles to make place for real spiritual encounters without appearing to compromise its objectivity. 

The Journal of Parapsychology 

Although there are many parapsychological publications, many researchers prefer publishing in well-known journals to raise the stature of their work among peers. The Journal of Parapsychology is one of the primary journals in the area. This twice-yearly, peer-reviewed publication specializes in studies of paranormal abilities like telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and psychokinesis. It also covers odd encounters and human awareness. The magazine was started by Dr. J. B. Rhine in April 1937. 

Journal of the Society for Psychical Research 

The Journal of the Society for Psychical Research was first published exclusively for members. Its primary emphasis at the moment is on ongoing laboratory and field research. It encompasses parapsychology study that is theoretical, methodological, and historical. One of the first publications of its kind was published in Britain. A group of eminent philosophers established the Society for Psychical Research in 1882. They established six fields of research, including mediumship, mind transference, mesmerism, séances, haunted houses, and apparitions. 

Module 6: Professional Parapsychology 

The professional prerequisites to work in the parapsychology sector will be covered in Module 6. There are several routes that can prepare prospective parapsychologists to enter this specialty because this field is very specialized. To work on research at this level, you will typically require a doctorate or graduate degree. There is no one specific major or field of study that leads to a career in parapsychology. 

Degree Requirements  

Without a graduate degree, you can still contribute your knowledge and experience to parapsychology. Your findings from independent research, however, are more likely to be challenged because they aren't connected to an academic or scientific study conducted by an organization. There are certain abilities, viewpoints, and study techniques that you can only learn through formal education. A graduate degree will make you more respected as a parapsychologist. 

Navigating College and Higher Education 

A graduate degree that offers research capabilities for parapsychology and other subjects is advised for prospective students by parapsychology experts. Possessing a proven track record of publishing research in esteemed publications is advantageous. There aren't many parapsychology programs that are accredited. Online courses are possible, but the majority of them are not recognized by any reputable educational institution. 

Challenges of Working in Parapsychology  

Other fields of psychology or science do not have the same difficulties as parapsychologists experience. Regardless of how many individuals believe in it or how well the facts are documented, paranormal research is frequently viewed with suspicion. Unfortunately, compared to more well-established fields like physics, the area does not have as much direct evidence to back it. If a parapsychologist solely wants to study the supernatural and paranormal, there isn't much work for them to do. Because parapsychology is such a specialized science, funding can sometimes be a challenge for parapsychologists. 

Professional Parapsychology Organizations  

  • The Parapsychological Association
  • Society for Psychical Research
  • The American Society for Psychical Research 

Desirable Personal Qualities 

Open-mindedness is among the best traits for a parapsychologist. Parapsychologists must be willing to consider the potential of extrasensory and paranormal activity, but it's also critical to consider the science involved in each case. You can distinguish between rationally explicable happenings and supernatural occurrences with the help of your capacity for scientific explanation. To guarantee accurate and impartial outcomes, one must be able to convey the facts and evaluate the evidence. 

Government Careers 

It's interesting to note that not all parapsychology jobs have been confined to the worlds of academia or business. Government-sponsored opportunities have also existed throughout history all around the world. Former Israeli army paratrooper Uri Geller asserted that he possessed extrasensory perception abilities in the 1970s. Geller asserted that he had supernatural abilities, including the capacity to read minds and bend spoons with his mind. 

Career Case Study: Dr. Jim Tucker 

Researchers at the University of Virginia Division of Perceptual Studies have looked into cases where kids claimed to remember memories from a prior life for the past 60 years. Dr. Ian Stevenson had a significant role in the field, as you may remember from prior courses, and Dr. Jim Tucker took up the project once Stevenson retired. Dr. Tucker provides a summary of the division's investigation into many American instances in his book Life Before Life. In his follow-up book Return to Life, which became a New York Times bestseller, he expands on these experiences. 

Future Opportunities 

The character of the sector could alter over time as a result of developing technologies. There may be discoveries in parapsychology that weren't previously feasible as the scientific community makes progress and creates new tools. Research can be greatly influenced by discoveries and innovations that are not parapsychological. For instance, in the past, it was difficult to locate case studies and connect with a variety of potential individuals. With the internet's extraordinary global connectivity, it is now possible to speak with millions of people at once on a completely new level.

Recognition & Accreditation

Upon successful completion of this course and achieving a passing score for the assessment, you will have a better understanding of Parapsychology and how to examine this phenomenon. You will also be issued with an international continuing education credit (CEU) certificate.

The Certificate is applicable worldwide, which demonstrates your commitment to learning new skills. You can share the certificate with your friends, relatives, co-workers, and potential employers. Also, include it in your resume/CV, professional social media profiles and job applications.
