I have only skimmed through the comments on the previous page of the thread to see if this had already been mentioned, apologies if it has.
The extra dimensional element of paranormal phenomena is interesting for me especially given British folklore evidence of the Second Sight and the
appearance of doppelgangers. Seeing one, as a direct copy of yourself from the other dimension, was generally considered a bad omen although knowledge
of such a side was often sought. A belief that such a parallel realm existed was held for quite sometime in the notion of fairy lands and the 'other
side'. Also a lot of cultures have similar customs particularly in parallel realms of spirits and ancestors that can have a direct impact on
people's lives..
Hope that helps a little bit
. Certainly there's evidence of past beliefs of another realm, or dimension, across folklore
.
