The Science of Weird Shit - Livestream

If the wider scientific community is right to be skeptical about paranormal claims, why do so many people believe in the paranormal - including a sizable number who claim to have had direct personal experience of paranormal phenomena? 

Chris French will provide an overview of anomalistic psychology, which attempts to address believers by proposing alternative, nonparanormal explanations for ostensibly paranormal experiences. He’ll also discuss key factors such as the unreliability of memory, hallucinatory experiences, and a range of cognitive biases.
