Psychology.
Particularly self-deception, delusions and fantasy prone personalities.

It's all a matter of time. No, really.

Suppose we have a standard deck of 52 playing cards and we place 10 down on the table at random.

Now suppose someone claims they have mind-reading powers and the test for their claim is to accurately "predict" or "know" what each card is.

Given enough time, and enough people to claim such powers, one person is going to pass the exam by mere chance alone.

This is why James Randi has removed his testing procedures from the general public and made it more exclusive.

Everything can be explained somehow. Ghosts, telepathy, magick, other things, are just a mere superset comprising of all things "yet to be explained".

How can something exist if it can't be explained? If someone could read your mind, wouldn't they be able to tell you how they did it?

I went on a ghost tour once. They gave us devices that measured ghostliness, I think the units were gausses.

This

There are some things that our pitiful "science" simply can't answer OP.

Now science isn't bad, I myself am a scientist, but it just fails when it comes to things like real magic. These matters are best left to those who have been indoctrinated in the ancient arts.

>I want to take a purely scientific approach towards these and not just be another run of the mill ghost hunter.

It can be done. What field would entirely depend on the type of "paranormal" activity that you're interested in. If it's near death experiences, then probably neuroscience/neurobiology. If it's flying saucers, astronomy. If it's "magic," probably physics or chemistry.

Step 1: Get recording equipment
Step 2: Fuck around in a haunted building
Step 3: post results!

>>3332660
Actually no, I just enjoy trolling /x/ with that "real magic" bit every once in awhile.

First, study rationality and the term "magical thinking".

Then go invalidate all the bullshit through testing.

>>3332832

3332648 is not much greater than 3332587 or 3332671 you dumbfuck nigger

in fact its fucking LESS
ffs i thought ppl on this board were supposed to be math wizards

>>3332847
You're not funny, faggot.

neither are you faggot but i had sex with your wife

Lot of samefag up in this thread.

Take it to /x/, homo.

Look up James Randi.

10/10 OP

an obvious troll thread that was dead for a good half hour was just too tempting for someone not to bump

this is why we cant have nice things

>>3332874
It was OP obviously. Pretty clever to accuse YOURSELF of same-fagging, because who does that anymore besides people who need an excuse to keep their thread alive?

There are schools that teach parapsychology

>>3332877
You need professional help.

>>3332880
There he is again, taking up half the thread. Oh, wait, I'm OP, too, except now I'm saging my own thread.

Bwahahaha. You'll never know who is OP and who isn't.

>>3332587
>What would one need to study in order to investigate the paranormal? Like magick, ghosts, telepathy and other things. I want to take a purely scientific approach towards these and not just be another run of the mill ghost hunter.
Here's a great idea, OP. Don't bother.
