Paranormal
Paranormal events are phenomena described in popular culture, folklore and other non-scientific bodies of knowledge, whose existence within these contexts is described to lie beyond normal experience or scientific explanation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Paranormal )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Paranormal )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Paranormal )〕
A paranormal phenomenon is different from hypothetical concepts such as dark matter and dark energy. Unlike paranormal phenomena, these hypothetical concepts are based on empirical observations and experimental data gained through the scientific method.〔Stenger, Victor. (1990). ''Physics and Psychics: The Search for a World Beyond the Senses''. Prometheus Books. pp. 33–52. ISBN 978-0-87975-575-1〕
The most notable paranormal beliefs include those that pertain to ghosts, extraterrestrial life, unidentified flying objects, psychic abilities or extrasensory perception, and cryptids.〔Gordon, Stuart. (1993). ''The Paranormal: An Illustrated Encyclopedia''. Trafalgar Square. ISBN 978-0747236030〕
==Etymology==
The term "paranormal" has existed in the English language since at least 1920.〔("Paranormal" ). In Merriam-Webster.〕〔("Paranormal" ). In Dictionary.com.〕 The word consists of two parts: para and normal. The definition implies that the scientific explanation of the world around us is 'normal' and anything that is above, beyond, or contrary to that is 'para'.
