A paranormal experience leaves two questions: what happened, and what explains it? Dr Josh Redstone makes room for taking the experience seriously while asking more of the explanation.

A dark house, a spooky forest, a sudden sense that something is off. Calling it intuition gives the feeling a name, but where does that intuition come from? Josh's answer gives the familiar idea of a sixth sense a different foundation.

The same distinction matters when something gets called scientific. A persuasive story, a physical reaction and a systematic test each establish different things. Between the shiver and the conclusion sits a question worth keeping open: what would explain the experience, and how could that explanation be tested?

Topics: paranormal experiences, intuition, anomalistic, scientific method, skepticism
