The term "paranormal" combines the prefix "para-" meaning "beside" or "beyond," with "normal," which refers to the usual or typical. Therefore, "paranormal" refers to phenomena or experiences that are beyond or outside the range of normal scientific understanding. This often includes activities or occurrences attributed to supernatural forces, such as ghosts, psychic abilities, or other mystical experiences that cannot be explained by current scientific knowledge.
