Interest in psychic phenomena has always been evident. But what does science have to say about these mysterious matters? Can science explain them? Is there evidence to prove them? Renee Scheltema explores this world of parapsychology in her documentary, Something Unknown… Is Doing I Don t Know What (2009). She takes the viewer on a fascinating spiritual journey into the science behind psychic phenomena, where the boundary between ‘real’ ability and fraud is tested. Something Unknown explores these five scientifically ‘accepted’ areas of parapsychology:
Telepathy refers to mind-reading or mind-to-mind communication. It literally means “distant feeling”.
Clairvoyance the psychic ability to perceive remote places, objects or people. A scientific term for clairvoyance is ‘Remote Viewing’.
Precognition an alleged psychic ability to predict the future. It sometimes comes as a vision, a mental flash or a dream.
