Category:Spiritism

Spiritism (Latin: spiritus, "breath") is our general category for the study of ghosts or manifestations of non-corporeal form that survive death of a living body, and more specifically the beliefs and practices, religious or otherwise, of those persons who believe they may contact the spirit world. We distinguish the study of spiritism here from the study of parapsychology, which deals more in psychic events, though there will certainly be overlap between the two in places.
