Paranormal Activity
Beyond natural explanation
Paranormal activity refers to events or phenomena that lie outside the range of normal scientific explanation—ghost sightings, poltergeist disturbances, unexplained sounds, objects moving on their own.
The phrase gained wider currency as the title of a 2007 horror film about a couple documenting supernatural occurrences in their home: The house had paranormal activity—doors slamming, lights flickering.
