Abstract

Belief in the existence of supernatural powers or other than the visible material world, i.e., the invisible spiritual world, has been long debated. The people believe in a supernatural power (God) and several evil spirits central to various mythology, irrespective of religion. On the other hand, many individuals, including some anthropologists, denied the existence of supernatural beings and evil spirits, which can perplex people's psychology to a more considerable extent in a different spectrum. The present article throws light on a scientific dimension about the existence of supernatural power and spirits along with human being's perceptions towards it. Simultaneously it is tried to focus on how anthropology meets with physics in this concern.
