Levitation
or transvection in the paranormal context is the rising of a human body
and other objects into the air by mystical means. Some parapsychology
and religious believers interpret alleged instances of levitation as the
result of supernatural action of psychic power or spiritual energy. The
scientific community states there is no evidence that levitation exists
and alleged levitation events are explainable by natural causes (such
as magic trickery, illusion, and hallucination).[1][2]
Colin Evans, who claimed spirits levitated him into the air, was exposed as a fraud.
Various religions have claimed examples of levitation amongst their
followers. This is generally used either as a demonstration of the
validity or power of the religion,[5] or as evidence of the holiness or
adherence to the religion of the particular levitator.
