Parapsychology

This is the field of parapsychology. Regarded as a pseudo-science by some, many scientific theories were once scoffed at until they were proved true. After all, it was considered outlandish to think the earth was round, or that this planet was anything other than the center of the universe. Those theories were proven false by people who pursued the truth no matter how much they were ridiculed. Perhaps one day many paranormal theories will be proven by the dedicated investigators who seek to understand the unknown.
