Psychologist Terence Hines said in his book ''Pseudoscience and the Paranormal'' (2003):


The paranormal can best be thought of as a subset of pseudoscience. What sets the paranormal apart from other pseudosciences is a reliance on explanations for alleged phenomena that are well outside the bounds of established science. Thus, paranormal phenomena include extrasensory perception (ESP), telekinesis, ghosts, poltergeists, life after death, reincarnation, faith healing, human auras, and so forth. The explanations for these allied phenomena are phrased in vague terms of "psychic forces", "human energy fields", and so on. This is in contrast to many pseudoscientific explanations for other nonparanormal phenomena, which, although very bad science, are still couched in acceptable scientific terms
The '''Paranormal''' category contains articles relating to events, phenomena, and theories that fall outside the boundaries of conventional scientific explanation. Articles in this category may present multiple perspectives, including both paranormal theories and conventional explanations where they exist.
