Significance: A result is significant when it equals or exceeds certain criteria in the chance expectations. The criterion mostly used in parapsychology is .02 (50 to 1) Even though .05 (20 to 1) is sometimes also considered as provable, it is rather seen as strongly suggestive.
Sixth Sense: Popular term for ESP
Sleep Paralysis (Night Hag): The person wakes up, but can�t move. This experience can be accompanied by: the feeling of a presence in the room, hallucinations in the form of a threatening shape and the feeling that something heavy is going to sit on the body. We can call
this a disturbance in coming out of a dream. While dreaming, the muscles are paralysed by the brain to keep the dreamer safely in place. In the sleep-paralysis, the person is conscious, but the paralysing-mechanism has not yet been �switched off�. In this state, the occurrence of hypnopompic hallucinations is not unusual.
Soul(s): The spiritual life force of the deceased. The electromagnetic energy field that is the continued essence of the person after death, retaining their intelligence, emotions, attitudes and personality. This includes animal spirits and other non-human life forms.
