About the department
A responsible setting for studying unexplained experiences
The Department for Supernatural Phenomena in Everyday Life operates within the E-TERRA Institute. Its role is to collect accounts of unusual events, organise observations and examine them in the wider context of parapsychology, the psychology of perception and environmental conditions.
We treat each person’s experience with respect, while avoiding predetermined mystical explanations. Every report requires an individual, calm and impartial assessment.
