A Broad Range of Paranormal Descriptions

It would be a daunting task to detail all the specific instances in scripture that clearly fit the criteria to be classified as "paranormal". Presented below are just a few of the more obvious instances that are easily recognizable as paranormal. Not included are the several descriptions of healing, mass feedings, or the many other powers exhibited by Jesus and his followers. In addition to those, we have to add this unknown factor to the equation; the ending to John's description of the life of Jesus: "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen." (John 21:25)

Pyrokinesis

* Matthew 21:18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

Although Jesus did not actually set the tree on fire, it is obvious that the most logical reason for the tree to "wither" so quickly was instant removal of the moisture from its cells. The remote application of extreme heat is the phenomenon known as pyrokinesis.

Dream Interpretation

* Daniel 5:12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.

A Ghost

* Job 4:14-17 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake. Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up: It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying, Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?

Metamorphosis

* John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

Metamorphosis: 1 a : change of physical form, structure, or substance especially by supernatural means b:a striking alteration in appearance, character, or circumstances. (Merriam-Webster)
