Parapsychology
Parapsychology is the systematic study of allegedly paranormal phenomena: telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, telekinesis. Founded as academic discipline by J.B. Rhine at Duke University (1930s). Today institutionally exists in some universities (Edinburgh, Northampton, Lund), but not recognized as mainstream science.
Current scientific status
Established skepticism by repeated failures of independent replication. The minority of researchers (Dean Radin, Daryl Bem) continue to publish; the majority of the scientific community considers the corpus of evidence unconvincing.
