| Description | This paper deals with the perception of person who is supposed to have some supernatural abilities – to “see” future and have access to “strategic information”, heal lethal illnesses, talk with supernatural agents (god, spirits) – to have abilities that people normally do not have. Information about these abilities is something that spreads through social networks and they are not observable through our senses. The questions that we should ask and try to answer are – how the mind process information about such person? How can a man trust them? How are their statements legitimized? |
