Write a 4-page double-spaced essay on what you have learned about apparitions and hauntings. You should avoid direct quotes. If you paraphrase, you should cite the work using APA formatting. For example, if you were to cite something in the lecture you would add (Mennie, 2020) as an in-text citation. Do not plagiarize. Your essay should include:
1.) a discussion of the parapsychological research that has been done and the theories this research has generated.
2.) a discussion of the psychological phenomena offered as alternative explanations for apparitions and hauntings. You are encouraged to provide unique examples. For example, if you have had a haunting experience, how would psychology explain this experience?
3.) a critical discussion of the literature. You are encouraged to think critically about the literature such that you evaluate it for its worth. For example, if you think that some research could have been done better or does not explain the phenomenon in question, state why you think that. Use a modern-day example of an apparition or haunting (for example, a ghost hunting show, a movie, or your own experience) to illustrate how parapsychology would interpret the experience and how cognitive neuroscience would interpret the experience.
