The term "paranormal" can be broken down into its components, with "para-" meaning "beside" or "beyond," and "normal" referring to what is typical or standard. Therefore, "paranormal" refers to phenomena that are beyond the normal or that cannot be explained by current scientific understanding, often encompassing things like ghosts, psychic occurrences, and other mysterious events.
