Why Do We Have Paranormal Experiences? A Researcher's Explanation
Published
Many people say they have had paranormal experiences, such as the feeling that someone is in the room or hearing an unusual sound. An article published by the BBC presents a possible explanation for these experiences, offered by Professor Simmonds-Moore.
According to the professor, these experiences may be linked to the hypnagogic state. This is the period between sleep and wakefulness, when a person is no longer fully asleep but not entirely awake. In this phase, the brain can produce images, sounds or sensations that seem real, although they do not exist in reality.
This type of experience is described as being quite common. The specialist explains that, in this transitional state, people's perception of reality can be temporarily altered. This is why some people interpret these sensations as supernatural phenomena.
In conclusion, the explanation offered by Professor Simmonds-Moore links paranormal experiences to a natural process of the mind, rather than to inexplicable phenomena. However, the article does not provide further details about the studies that support this theory, and the subject remains a topic of discussion.
