About 72 strange beliefs and psychic abilities are considered paranormal and listed as concepts of parapsychology: Some are different names for the same thing, but most are genuinely different things that happen to people from time to time.

The study of cellular growth, in fact the whole of life, has eluded science; but the science of telepathy tells a new and exciting story.
