List of prizes for the evidence of the paranormal : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of prizes for evidence of the paranormal This is a list of prizes offered to anyone who can provide scientific evidence of paranormal abilities. == Objectives ==
The purpose of offering prizes for evidence of paranormal abilities is to publicly challenge those who claim to possess such abilities to demonstrate that they in fact possess them, and are not fraudulent or self-deceptive. The paranormal challenges, often posed by groups or individuals who self-identify as "skeptics" or "rationalists", are mutually agreed upon beforehand between the challengers and the claimants. A challenge is usually divided into two steps, the first being a "preliminary test" or "pre-test", where claimants can show their purported abilities under controlled conditions before a small audience, before being admitted to the final test. Sometimes these pre-tests have a smaller prize attached to them. Several local organisations have set up challenges that serve as pre-tests to larger prizes such as the JREF's One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge〔 or the 2012–2013 SKEPP Sisyphus Prize (for one million euros).〔
