THEORETICAL ADVANCED PARANOLOGY:

   These encompass areas of other dimensions and alternate universes;  

   Other dimensions area that human’s cannot perceive. It is beyond our senses of sight, sound or feel. Outside of our normal, three dimensions of height, width, depth, and 4th dimension of time.

   Alternate universe; contains a duplicate or copy of our world, with one of each of the same people, places and events the same as in our universe. But different circumstances causing lives to turn out differently in another universe.

   How other dimensions and alternate universes go together is that you would transverse through another dimension to get to a different universe.

   Portals; openings or pathways to another plane of existence. 

   Triangles; are places where there is heightened paranormal activity and locations where people mysteriously disappear,  like the Bermuda Triangle. It is believed that there could be portals to other dimensions in these places, that could explain many of the strange occurrences there.

    Djinn; are Arabic genies. They are also believed to be shape shifters from another dimension that can visit people at night in the forms of dark human shapes or black dogs or cats.

    These ideas come from theoretical science and are considered to be paranormal. Alternate universes and other dimensions could be areas where different para-entities discussed previously, could have in common.
