Have you ever seen a ghost? Have you known something was going to happen before it happened? Have you experienced something that cannot be explained? This community education course will explore personal experiences of paranormal events including telepathy, precognition, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, near-death experiences, reincarnation, apparitional experiences, angels and demons, and extraterrestrial contact.
With the premise that experience rather than belief in the paranormal is the best teacher, students will share their own paranormal experience, and the instructor will guide them through some of the literature and theories behind these phenomena. We will read a course book together, and guest speakers (psychologists, philosophers, clergy, psychics, and other surprise guests) will enhance our classroom experience. A field trip to local paranormal site may be planned. Students will be able to freely discuss and analyze their experiences within the context of other well-documented paranormal phenomena and prevailing theoretical frameworks. We will conduct wimple paranormal experiments. The course will provide a friendly and affirming environment in which students can share their experiences and gain personal insights.
