How do people experience paranormal phenomena?

Sample: 5 117 participants.

Participants completed a questionnaire in which they indicated whether they had experienced paranormal phenomena (e.g., out-of-body experiences, extrasensory perception, sensations of someone being nearby, etc.).

Shown: at the time of directly experiencing a paranormal phenomenon, 25% reported immediate suffering or discomfort. However, retrospectively, 51% indicated long-term positive effects and personal growth after the paranormal event. 57% experienced this while awake, and 39% were alone. The authors suggest that the widespread prevalence of such experiences indicates that paranormal experiences do not align with psychoses or dissociation. The interpretation of the event is important, as it determines how it will be perceived in the future - whether as positive or negative. No statistical methods were used in the study; it was only a survey.
