Overview

Why do we see faces in clouds, hear a knock in a dark, empty house, or feel a shiver down our spine in a ""haunted"" room? [cite: 35] For centuries, humanity has been captivated by the paranormal. But what if the most profound mystery isn't ""out there,"" but inside our own heads? Mind Games is a captivating journey into the hidden science of paranormal beliefs, exploring the fascinating ways our brains create experiences that seem supernatural. Author Mark E. Jemy pulls back the curtain to reveal the psychological and environmental machinery behind the phenomena that haunt us. This is not just a book about ""debunking""; it's a guide to understanding the most complex mystery of all: the human mind[cite: 70]. Inside, you will discover: The Pattern-Seeking Ape: Why our brains are hardwired to find meaning and patterns, even when there are none[cite: 35]. The Environment as a Storyteller: How simple, unseen forces like infrasound can create the bone-chilling feeling of a ""haunting""[cite: 35]. The Shared Illusion: The science of confirmation bias and how an entire group of people can ""see"" a UFO[cite: 35]. The Phantom Limb of Consciousness: The neurological explanations for out-of-body experiences and feeling an ""unseen touch""[cite: 35]. The God Spot: How electrical storms in the mind can create profound, mystical experiences[cite: 35]. This book is for the curious, the skeptics, and everyone who has ever wondered if the ghosts, aliens, and psychics we look for are actually just reflections of our own complex, powerful, and fascinating minds[cite: 70].
