We factor analyzed the responses of 784 subjects to a seventy-five-item paranormal belief questionnaire. Principle components analysis extracted four components which were subjected to alpha factoring with oblique and orthogonal rotations. An oblique solution was judged as most appropriate based on the factor correlation matrix. A higher order factor analysis yielded one common underlying factor. The results are discussed with respect to previous factor analyses of paranormal belief questionnaires by Jones, Russell, and Nickel [1], and Tobacyk and Milford [2].
