Psi Theories: How Psychic Powers May Work

Image
Notes adapted from Extrasensory Perception: Support, Skepticism, and Science by Edwin C. May and Sonali Bhatt Marwaha Psi —abilities like precognition, telepathy, and psychokinesis—can be tricky to study because they are hard to define. Just like intelligence or consciousness, psi is easier to measure than to explain. Researchers have approached it in different ways: as a type of anomalous perception, as direct knowledge of events outside ordinary senses, or as mind-to-matter influence. Each perspective highlights a different aspect, but none fully capture the phenomenon. Despite these challenges, experiments in precognition, remote viewing, and psychokinesis have shown patterns beyond chance. This suggests psi is real enough to study, even if we don’t yet understand how it works. Importantly, psi may not be a single event but a process that unfolds over time and space. To make sense of the different theories, we can group them into four domains : ⚛️Physics Domain – Ideas abo...

Paranormal Theories List

Image
(updated September 23, 2025) I’ve been gathering different theories —more accurately, hypotheses , since most are not yet proven—about the currently unexplained , such UFOs and consciousness.  UFOs  1. credits to  Berlinghoff Rasmussen, r/UFOs moderator 2.  from Ret. Col.

Signs and Patterns of Hauntings

Image
Updated: October 26, 2025 When it comes to ghostly encounters, not all “evidence” is equal. Some reports can be quickly explained by psychology, environment, or fraud, while others resist easy dismissal and hint at something more unusual. Researchers have long tried to separate the ordinary-but-spooky from the genuinely anomalous. The following are some attempts to rank the signs of hauntings according to how convincing they are. I may add more later on. 1. This is from the  Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena   (ASSAP) 's  archived website .  Possible sign of a ghost Is it a ghost? Alternative natural explanations A figure wearing old fashioned clothes Unlikely Actor, re-enactor, fancy dress, fashion, etc. Transparent figure Unlikely In photos: long exposure ; in real life: possible hallucination . Figure seen in haunt...

📌 What the Paranormal Is and What It Is Not

Image
What do we really mean when we say something is ‘paranormal’? Misunderstandings are common, and they affect how people talk about, research, and respond to the unexplained. Many people misunderstand what  “paranormal”  truly means. They assume it's anything weird, unscientific, or scary. But to think more clearly and discuss more meaningfully, we must separate the paranormal from things it is often confused with. Here’s a breakdown of the most common mix-ups and how to tell them apart. 1. Paranormal vs. Preternatural vs. Supernatural Paranormal Preternatural Supernatural Beyond current scientific explanation, but possibly explainable someday Rare, uncanny, or seemingly unnatural events that don't break natural law; also, something divine that occurs in nature Outside the laws of nature; divine, godly, or metaphysical Some examples: ESP, UFOs, apparitions, time s...

Mga bagay na dapat din malaman: Excerpt from Multo, Thought Forms, Atbp. book by Mr. Ruel Ruiz

Image
Multo, Thought Forms, Atbp. First Philippine Paranormal Investigation Handbook Para sa mga Baguhan o Dalubhasa by Ruel Ruiz Mga bagay na dapat din malaman Belief at Expectation. Maaaring makulayan ang resulta ng imbestigasyon depende sa paniniwala o expectation ng PSI (Paranormal Scene Investigator). Kaya nga naniniwala ako na ang isang PSI ay dapat “totoong” skeptic—kaysa naniniwala o hindi naniniwala. Mainam na talakayin ang kaso nang may mga theories at background knowledge. Ang matinding paniniwala o hindi paniniwala sa isang bagay ay nagdudulot ng misinterpretation ng mga events dahil sa mga set of beliefs na ito ng PSI. Hindi rin naman mainam na maging sarado at maghanap ng talagang ikaka-disprove ng isang kaso, dahil kahit na ano pang evidence na ito nga ay paranormal ang dahilan ay hindi pa rin maniniwala. Simple Misperceptions Madalas na nire-report sa akin ay ang feeling na may humahawak o humahaplos sa buhok nila. Kahit na mga PSI team ay may ganito rin experie...

UFO Checklist: Is It a UFO or Not?

Image
Updated: October 12, 2025 The checklist below is from r/UFOs . The original post is deleted now, but I saved it some years ago. 👇 Think you’ve seen a UFO? Please read through this checklist first and look for other explanations. Even some of the most dedicated UFO researchers have never seen one in person. 🎈 Balloon Look for: Object visible in daylight Seems to drift, move slowly, or hover May appear to change shape May appear to be blinking or flashing No rapid acceleration without cause (such as wind) Silent Probable explanation: Mylar balloons in particular are extremely reflective and often oddly shaped. They often rotate in the air, so they look as if they are “shifting shape.” Another common characteristic is the object growing dim and then bright as it rotates and reflects the light. 🚁 Drone Look for: Object moves erratically, but appears to “swing” through a direction change Object may hover Flashing or steady lights of various colors C...
