Ghost Hunting, Tarot & UFO Cases
This paranormal quiz combines folklore with the practical language of investigations. Across ten questions you'll meet EVP, photographic motion effects, tarot cards, Project Blue Book, séances, selkies and the Yeti. Psychokinesis, audio pareidolia and historical parapsychology research introduce the difference between making a claim and checking its evidence. Read the terms carefully: describing what people believe is not the same as demonstrating that an unusual cause exists.
