Belief in the paranormal has remained high among Americans. What is the paranormal, what phenomena are involved, what can be said about the recent Pentagon UFO/UAP report, and why should religion scholars take the paranormal seriously? Darryl Caterine discusses this and more. Caterine is a professor of religious studies at LeMoyne College. He is a historian of religions whose research focuses on the intersections of religion, culture, and politics in the US and parts of Latin America. His areas of academic research include metaphysical/occult religions in America, and religion in popular culture. He is the author and co-editor of several books including an ethnography, Haunted Ground: Journeys Through a Paranormal America, and the volume we co-edited, The Paranormal in Popular Culture: A Postmodern Religious Landscape.
