Is someone seriously defending parapsychology here? Wow. Painful.
Sue Blackmore, formerly one of the top parapsychologists, is a good
antidote to that rubbish... (though I'm sure some parapsychology fans
will make excuses and continue to think parapsychologists actually do
worthwhile work and that it's "nonscientific bigotry" to dismiss it)

Or you can take the following hint and run with it, for it holds the
key to understanding just how "out-of-body" experiences and various
other "psi" or "supernatural" experiences are possible without the BS:
synesthaesia.
