In short, the scientific community et large still rejects the data that indicate that-‘'paranarmal phenomena’, i,e., occurrences which do not fit into currently known patterns, behavior; or theories, ever occur. ¢ “Such x situation in scientific circles, following ninety years of éareful re search info psychic phenomena might be termed a paranormal phenomena itself, Itis, however, true that this attitude has gradualiy changed during the last 25 years and that increasing numbers of young scientists in raany fields are open-minded about Extra-Sensory Perception and feel that psychical research is an jimportant area of
