When you see the curtains dancing stealthily in the sluggish air, a chill seems to go down your spine. This thought is triggered by our psychology, which compels us to construe events in our minds.

Paranormal psychology has been categorized as popular psychology. Students who opt for this field of education fathom knowledge about a different wavelength of thinking and its anomalies. This includes clinical psychology, sports psychology, counseling, and educational psychology as well as paranormal psychology.

Paranormal psychology is a very delicate subject to deal with and students are clinically trained to combat patients who portray unrealistic events in their minds. If you have acquired a Master’s degree and started practicing, you have to control your patience, study the history of the patient, and exhume the root of such orientation of thinking. The field is sprawled across various psychology headings and all are interconnected. The reason for one problem may lie in another field of psychology. The field is expansive and stretches out of the various vertices of the human mind.

Everything we see, every sensation we feel are generated by the different emotions of our brain i.e. belief, fear, emotions, and past scars. We often misconstrue events as we fail to elude the interpretation our mind has already devised. Assumptions drive us and make us believe that reality is just a lame representation. You must be wondering about whether our mind stays like this from the day we are born! Here is your answer.

When we are born, we carry with us a pinch of fear, emotion, and belief. But as we grow up, we undergo a lot of radical changes. This may aggravate a few of the above-mentioned traits beyond a certain level and that weakens our thought. Paranormal psychology is born out of this abnormal growth of human traits that cripple our brain. Paranormal psychology primarily deals with human perceptions and some set of beliefs which is contradictory to the existing reality and this discrepancy induces the person to view abnormal behavior in front of their eyes.

Psychologists have laid down a lot of reasons for paranormal psychology:-

1. There can be some external stimuli such as grim situations, seeing a ghost, thunderstorm, and solitude.
2. There can be internal reasons which spur a sense of paranormal activities taking place around you. Any past scars which sometimes raise its fangs may cripple your brain and we will think that the repetition will happen anytime soon. Some superstitious beliefs which may have been imparted to you can act as a catalyst that occupies your brain and doesn’t allow you to accept the reality. Fear is the largest demon that resides inside you. When fear subjugates, our confidence retards. We try to fit inside our own domain of thinking, thus heading towards unnatural interpretation.
3. Hallucination is a self-portrait that we draw on the canvas of our mind and it often leads to the perception of paranormal activities.

Paranormal activities may be sensed by a disturbed person at any moment. Psychologists always recommend a subtle, benevolent behavior to be lent to the persons suffering from such setbacks.
