  • To My Mom, My Two Sisters Carol and Margaret, the Two Davids, and in Loving Memory of Grandma Stanley and My Father Gerald
    Dedication: To my mom, my two sisters Carol and Margaret, the two Davids, and in loving memory of Grandma Stanley and my father Gerald. In the latter, we may not have always seen eye to eye, but he gave me some much valued advice. To Grandma and Grandpa Preece, I miss them and the Staffordshire countryside a lot. And to Sandy, Penny, Misha, and Jet; hope these lovely pets are getting on well across the rainbow bridge; miss and love you all. And to ‘Cupcake’ whose support and companionship I value more than anything else in this world. Acknowledgements: I owe this work in part to the inspiration from 2000 A.D. (particularly the Judge Anderson series), the film Blade Runner and William Gibson’s Neuromancer (an excellent book, and I wonder why it’s not been filmed!) and a tip of the hat to Brandon Sanderson who has inspired at least one psionic talent in this volume.

  • Paranormal Belief and the Strange Case of Haunt Experiences: Evidence of a Neglected Population
    PARANORMAL BELIEF AND THE STRANGE CASE OF HAUNT EXPERIENCES: EVIDENCE OF A NEGLECTED POPULATION BY BRIAN LAYTHE AND KAY OWEN ABSTRACT: The current study examines the specific experiences of individuals who have reported haunt phenomena in the context of common paranormal belief measures. One hundred and sixty nine community college students completed online surveys assessing personality traits, cognitive functioning, Tobacyk’s (2004) measure of paranormal belief, Gallagher, Kumar, and Pekala’s (1994) Anomalous Experiences Inventory, and a measure designed for the current study to assess haunting experiences. Results using Spearman correlations show occasional and small relationships between paranormal belief measures and haunting experiences. Contrary to existing literature, t test findings show analytical and personality measures do not significantly differ between those who have experienced haunting phenomena and those who have not. We conclude that previous research in paranormal belief may not apply to individuals who have experienced haunting phenomena due to paranormal belief measures’ lack of content regarding haunting experiences. Keywords: paranormal belief, haunt experiences, personality, cognitive functioning It is not unusual for people to interpret personal experiences as a ghostly encounter. Rice (2003) reported that 42.1% of the population believes in ghosts, and Gallup and Newport (1991) have reported that 9% of the general population has seen a ghost. McClenon (1994) reported that 30% of his accounts of supernatural events refer specifically to apparition experiences. More research in paranormal beliefs shows that 38% of people believe in ghosts, and in other studies 41% of participants report a belief in ghosts (Irwin, 2009). These findings show that many people believe in ghosts and that researchers credit this type of belief as paranormal belief.

Background: Belief in the paranormal is widespread worldwide. Recent surveys suggest that subjective experiences of the paranormal are common. A concise instrument that adequately evaluates beliefs as distinct from experiences does not currently exist. To address this gap, we created the Noetic Experiences and Beliefs Scale (NEBS) which evaluates belief and experience as separate constructs. Methods: The NEBS is a 20-item survey with 10 belief and 10 experience items rated on a visual analog scale from 0-100. In an observational study, the survey was administered to 361 general population adults in the United States and a subsample of 96 one month later. Validity, reliability and internal consistency were evaluated. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to confirm the latent variables of belief and experience.
