Parapsychology is the study of the paranormal, and some people commit a lot of time to it. There is a term called “taboo”, which is when you do not believe in the paranormal. The most famous study of parapsychology was done by Pearce-Pratt. Pearce-Pratt did a lot of research and experiments in different labs.     

The Ouija board is the most common paranormal board game. How this connects to the dead is basically there is an object called a “planchette” which is basically something that points out a letter. You gently place your hand(s) on top of the planchette, and then you ask a question. After you ask that question, the planchette will begin to move to answer your question, which is pretty much the dead telling you the answer to your question. This leads to people believing more about the paranormal.

Mirrors

For a long time, many people have believed that mirrors can connect to other dimensions or in fact it is a portal to another dimension or dimensions. Many people have reported seeing ghosts in the mirror, in which they are able to communicate with the dead with whom, or what is standing at the other side of the mirror. Just be careful because you would not want to be there.

Bloody Mary

Bloody Mary, the urban legend, has been known for a long time. How this works is that someone walks up to his/her washroom mirror. Close the door behind you and make sure no one has followed you inside. Place a candle in front of the mirror. Then say “Bloody Mary” 3x. After you say that, a figure will appear before your very eyes if this doesn’t turn your head three times and blow out the candle. If this works then people will start getting away from these random acts that can maybe even lead to death.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Psychologists that study some religious peoples beliefs of the paranormal, say that some religions think that if they admit that ghosts are real, they won’t experience it in person and they will be less scared when they come across one. There is research that says when a person you love has passed away, you mostly see a ghost because you feel lonely and are desperate to find someone to talk and/or hangout with. There are people that have taken pictures of someone or something, then they claim that there is a ghost in their picture which leads them to believe in ghosts. 

In Taiwan, there is a belief  called “Ghost Month”, and if you see a ghost in this time they say bad things will happen to you. A study has shown that people avoid dangerous behaviors that could cause death during Ghost Month. These include drowning, therefore they avoid bodies of water so they then have fewer deaths during this time.
