Metempiric
Metempiric
Term proposed in the 1970s to denote unexplained phenomena such as UFOs, ghosts, alien creatures, mysterious fires, and unusual falls from the sky, usually classified as Fortean phenomena after the writer Charles Hoy Fort, who pioneered the study of such things. The term never became popular and largely passed out of use in favor of "anomalistics."
