Out-of-Body Experiences

If you've ever gone sky-diving you may have felt an out-of-body experience lasting for a only a few moments. Out-of-body experiences belong to a group of  phenomena known as the paranormal or "beyond the range of normal experiences or scientific explanation". Most out-of-body experiences do not take place within the confines of an extreme environment, but transpire as part of our normal lives. Out-of-body experiences are defined as a perceptual shift in consciousness.
