This thesis explores the concept of the paranormal as subjective phenomenon in the works of Macbeth, A Christmas Carol and Minority Report. I examine the conditions preceding the paranormal event, the event itself , its effect on the characters as well as on space and time. Under Carl Jungs theory of Parapsychology, I view the paranormalasSynchronistic and thereby explain how the event takes place within the psyche highlighting its subjectivity. Under Jungs theory of psychoanalysis, I examine the significance of the paranormal events, which is attaining individuation, a state of deep self- awareness.The study also addresses the question of fate versus free will, and reaches the finding that both concepts are complimentary
