Of course not. If you read a cookbook you are reading about how to cook food. If you study the paranormal you are studying the supernatural. SHADES OF MEANING! Parapsychology can be synonymous with the supernatural by "having the same connotations, implications, or reference (to runners, Boston is synonymous with marathon)." Not the marathon itself.
