Category:Anomalistic Psychology collects pages concerned with the psychological study of anomalous or paranormal-seeming experiences — such as hallucinations, sleep paralysis, and possession-like states — as naturally occurring products of ordinary brain function, independent of whether the reported cause is judged to be genuinely paranormal.
This is distinct from Parapsychology itself, which investigates whether psi phenomena are real, and from clinical or psychiatric diagnosis, which is concerned with formally classifying conditions rather than explaining ordinary anomalous experience — anomalistic psychology instead asks why ordinary minds produce these experiences at all, regardless of interpretation.
What belongs here
