Anomalous Experiences

Welcome to issue 17 of Pari Perspectives: Anomalous Experiences.

Having defined anomalous experiences as ‘any paranormal phenomena that occur without rational explanation and seemingly defy our current scientific understanding of the world,’ we invited experts and researchers plus members of the public to contribute to this issue. 

Part 1 is a collection of eleven essays written by experts and researchers in the field. 

More Perspectives is a short story by award-winning fiction writer Alison MacLeod. It features the sculptor Eric Gill whose anomalous behaviour, while not paranormal, was certainly abnormal. 

In Part 2 we gathered together forty-four accounts of anomalous experiences contributed by  friends of the Pari Center.
