Hi iNow You are probably right in saying "Your definition is too "fuzzy." It's too, "Hey man, this is like way far out. Are those cup cakes?" lol Most people look upon this subject as fanciful im sure, the fact still remains that there has been research into this kind of work in the past and still is, I don't think that anyone would actually go into this kind of work if there were absolutely no substance to it though do you?, and although it's not classed as an exact science which has thus far not had many valid findings, it would be for that very reason that I would like to delve deeper into it , it could well be a case of curiosity kills the cat, but where there is smoke there is always fire. The human brain is a powerful thing, who knows what it is capable of doing when used to its full extent and if a person activates its unlimited potentials. I think as humans we only use a minimal part of our brains on a daily basis but there is yet so much more we can find out and tap into, you spoke about magnetic fields in the human body and electric pulses used by animals... this sounds very interesting and it would be something id be interested in studying further. So although the area of pseudoscience will granted be a challenge im sure, that's what it's all about, the challenges and proving what has not yet been proved and as you also said be able reach a falsifiable and replicable conclusion.

Hi Everyone Just been reading this rather funny conversation you are all having, so I decided to go have a look around for some answers and I found this link by The Straight Dope which should clear up some of the confusion a little i hope Mel

lol Ghostbusters is a bit of a stretch i think Swansont I do agree that this is not conventional science, but I do happen to consider anything that requires research would need some sort of scientific method to proceed do you agree? "Parapsychology is a discipline that seeks to investigate the existence and causes of psychic abilities and life after death using the "scientific method" Lets see.. and yes this is just one example im using. Take for example astral projection (or astral travel) im sure u know that this is when a person has an out-of-body experience considered to involve an astral counterpart that separates from the physical body and travels to one or more astral planes or the physical world (this is what i meant by dream planes) Astral projection is experienced as being "out of the body". This is not always considered dreaming as astral projection may be practiced deliberately. Some Shamanic religions practice this technique, with the soul's journey or "ascent" being described as 'an...out-of-body experience' wherein the spiritual traveler leaves the physical body and travels in their dream body or astral body into other realms. Something else that interests me is Ley Lines you can have a look at that entry for more info. In not actually talking about chasing ghosts around here although I do believe they exist, but I would like to be able to study something along these lines, and im not worried if I get discredited for wanting to pursue this line of work actually, I am a firm believer that you have to do what you have a passion for in life. Thanks for all the feedback Id love to hear more Mel

Hey Everyone :-D I was just wondering if there are many Science Jobs out there focusing on paranormal activity? I would really like to look into this kind of work as i find it fascinating, I also enjoy gathering info on other dimensions such as dream planes and how the subconscious mind works. Iv included a Wikipidia link to give an idea of what kind of areas I would like to go into. Any suggestion would be welcome Mel

Hi my name is Melany i prefer Mel Im an information junkie who likes to read just about anything on the paranormal so if you have anything interesting to tell please do
