Terminology
Every unexplained occurrence deserves a name, a shelf, and a tone of grave restraint.
Parafunormal studies, defined with institutional confidence.
The parafunormal is not merely paranormal activity with jokes attached.
It is a serious academic discipline dedicated to the study of mystery, wonder, absurdity, and the unexplained things that seem to be having a good time.
The Institute of Parafunormal Studies exists to preserve that wonder before someone from the Institute for Parafunormal Studies files it incorrectly.
Inquiry
Claims are welcomed when accompanied by records, diagrams, or at minimum a confident witness.
Restraint
The Institute avoids panic unless panic has been approved by the relevant faculty committee.
