A woman was working as a telemarketer temporarily. She had been working at the company for only a couple of months when this incident occurred. When making calls, the telesales person had a dialogue on the monitor in front of them to read from while talking with people.

What sets the paranormal apart from other pseudosciences is a reliance on explanations for alleged phenomena that are well outside the bounds of established science. Thus, paranormal phenomena include extrasensory perception (ESP), telekinesis, ghosts, poltergeists, life after death, reincarnation, faith healing, human auras, and so forth. The explanations for these allied phenomena are phrased in vague terms of “psychic forces”, “human energy fields”, and so on.
