Giorgia Gaia - Paranormal Ethnographies of Ketamine

Ketamine is examined through an ethnographic lens, focusing on its potential to induce anomalous or paranormal experiences. Participants in this research describe encounters with telepathy, out-of-body travel, and interdimensional entities while under the influence of the substance. These experiences are contextualized within a framework of multi-model agnosticism, where individual belief systems act as reality tunnels that shape the nature of the psychedelic state. Subjects often report that their experiences are reminiscent of white-light states or other profound transpersonal phenomena, distinguishing these encounters from the standard experiences associated with dissociative states.
