Paranormal Elements

The Periodic Table of Paranormal Elements

Element

Ms: Message Phenomenon

Message Phenomenon refers to communication with supernatural, extraterrestrial, and/or spiritual beings. This includes Signs from Spirit, events which have a meaningful significance to the observer or experiencer. Referred to as Messages from Heaven or Messages from the Dead. This includes the appearance of physical objects seemingly placed in the observers path such as feathers, crystals, coins (pennies from heaven). Can also include the appearance of rainbow, bird or butterfly or other insect. May also include telephone calls, text messages (or other forms of instant messaging) from a deceased loved one.

Also related to this phenomenon is the idea that supernatural beings routinely influence the thoughts of humans which then leads to creative expressions which then prove to be prophetic. An example of this is the novella, The Wreck of the Titan: Or, Futility, by Morgan Robertson, the plot of which is eerily similar to the sinking of the RMS Titanic.

Sk: Skin Reaction

Skin reactions include goosebumps, or physical injuries and marks on the skin resembling welts, scratches, bites. Some injuries can be on places a victim can’t reach, like the back. May be red, raised, bleeding. Can fade quickly or persist or scar. At the time of the occurrence, typically the victim feels a localized sensation of cold, burning, being squeezed, or a pricking sensation.

Ra: Localized Radiation

A measured increase in radiation emissions (above background radiation levels) with no explainable source. Includes X ray or Gamma ray radiation.

Ps: Phantom Smell

The localized presence of smells or odors the source of which cannot be accounted. These may be foul or sweet. Examples would be smell of sulphur, flowers, cigarette smoke, bleach or floral perfume. Often these smells coincide with the character of a deceased resident, or in some cases a particular classification of spirit (Men In Black).

Pr: Localized Pressure Change

This element involves a localized barometric pressure change which can be felt or which registers on an altimeter. This may cause the sensation of an observer’s ears popping indicating a noticeable change in air pressure.
