psychic phenomena

Unexplained mental events

Psychic phenomena are events or experiences that seem to defy ordinary physical explanation—telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, telekinesis.

The term covers purported abilities to read minds, see the future, or move objects through mental force alone.

Whether such phenomena exist remains disputed; believers cite personal experiences while skeptics point to lack of reproducible scientific evidence.
