PROBLEMSince its inception, the study of paranormal activity has remained trapped between scientific and personalexperiences. The methods and analyses are often drawn from the scientific community, but the data ispersonal evidence more likely to be accepted by general society. Catalogs outlining the variety of paranormal experience and summarizing individual cases appeared asearly as the sixteenth century. Since the late 19th century, modern science has been probed forexplanations of the phenomena that had previously been inexplicable. The Society for PsychicalResearch (SPR), formed in 1882, was the first organization, founded by British scientists, as a forum forscientific investigation of paranormal activity. The academic community did not embrace this researchand often refused to accept papers in the field. The rise of interest in rigorous investigation of paranormal occurrences historically parallels thedevelopment of sciences such as psychology, biology, and physics. These sciences were also attemptingto relate the function of the human, particularly the human brain, to its environment. The failure of thecommunity interested in paranormal phenomena to provide convincing evidence contrasts with thesuccess of physics to determine links between physiological activity and electrical measurements. HansBerger, often termed the father of electroencephalography, originally was interested in the link betweenelectrical activity in the brain and telepathic phenomena; however, the link between these provednonexistent. In contrast to this failure, the connection between electrical activity in the brain and mentaland physical activity yielded a significant medical tool, the EEG.One area of particular interest in the study of paranormal activity is the investigation of ghosts orapparitions. Movie series such as Ghostbusters and Poltergeist, which enjoyed great popular success,indicate a general fascination with the subject of post-death activity. Surveys have indicated belief inhaunted houses in as many as 30% of respondents; simultaneously, studies have attempted to correlatesuch beliefs to media exposure (Campbell), personality traits (Auton), and church attendance (Orenstein),to mention a few of the numerous considerations of this topic. These psychological explanations attemptto reduce belief to a byproduct of an environment; consequently, the possibility of scientific credibility isunmentioned. Behind
