The online questionnaire by Rosemary Breen of Monash University generated data from 3,194 experients on the ten categories of paranormal occurrences under review and several themes were noted. All phenomena were reported by males and females, and by experients from each of the three age groups surveyed (18-35; 36-55; Over 55 years). There were trends for experients to register frequent encounters (>10) of the same type of phenomenon, and to report multiple types of different paranormal incidences (M=5.14). More than 30% of all first experiences, of eight of the ten categories of phenomenon were reported to have taken place before adolescence, with some incidences dating from pre birth or in the first two years of life. Furthermore, there were highly significant statistical differences noted. These were in the levels of incidence of experiences reported by males and females for eight of the ten parapsychological categories and in the level of paranormal phenomena reported by the experients from the four most highly represented countries in the survey.

Drafting and conducting an online survey is a bit like a social media experiment – only more one way. Rosemary Breen of Monash University has reopened her survey spontaneous paranormal experiences and is using this to build her Psychic Revolution.

Following the success of the first round of surveys on paranormal experience, Rosemary Breen of Psychic Revolution and a recent graduate of Monash University is launching the second round of data collection. The initial survey, which ran for three months, collected information on spontaneous paranormal experiences and attracted over 4,000 submissions
from around the world. The researcher intends to run the online survey indefinitely, with the aim of collating the largest database of paranormal experiences ever assembled.
