Extraordinary Experiences; Could Real Information Have Somehow Bypassed the Usual Sensory Channels?
With Dr. Neil Dagnall and Dr. Kenneth Drinkwater
Can we sense what is happening to loved ones thousands of miles away? Why are we, sometimes, certain of a caller’s identity the instant the phone rings? Is it possible to perceive information without the use of the ordinary senses?
There is absolutely no doubt about it that you have asked questions concerning the myriad unexplained events which seem to move in that particular spectrum we are not able to see with the naked eye. Many people believe that such “psychic phenomena” are rare talents or divine gifts. Others don’t believe they exist at all.
Nightmares, malevolent dark shadows, ghostly figures and lucid dreams … even though they are assigned to sleep paralysis, a vivid imagination and sometimes to pre-cognitive knowledge, there could be another rational explanation for these blobs and blips to overlap our classical reality.
I am your host Maria Anna van Driel… and you’re listening to “The Next Truth; Where Science and Myth Meet”. This week I am speaking with Dr. Neil Dagnall and Dr. Kennett Drinkwater from the Manchester Metropolitan University to get a clearer picture about what is it that we see fleeing from our peripheral vision, what has, or is, creating this variety in believes and how to pour all this in the research fields of parapsychology and cognitive science.
Can psychic or “psi” experiences be studied by science, or are they beyond the reach of rational understanding?
