Science of the Supernatural

By Melissa Maffeo

How can science explain ghost sightings, psychic readings, or the feeling of presence in an empty room? This book explores eerie, unexplained experiences through the lens of neuroscience and psychology. With chapters on sleep paralysis, alien abductions, false memories, psychic readings, mystical experiences, and even zombies, it invites readers to examine how the brain generates strange sensations - and why we often interpret them as supernatural. Designed to spark curiosity and sharpen critical thinking, this book blends scientific insight with storytelling. It is perfect for students, educators, and curious readers alike. Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or somewhere in between, you'll come away with a deeper understanding of how our brains shape belief.
