Figured there was a term for it. Here’s AI’s summary:

Quote: In essence, subconscious priming demonstrates how our brains are constantly processing information, even when we are not consciously aware of it, and how this unconscious processing can influence our thoughts, behaviors, and decisions.

How does this earn paranormal status when it’s a normal thing?

Again, when people are primed to see the paranormal, that's what they see. Like watching enough ghost hunters, UFO sightings, etc..

This is why you should be skeptical of people who have zero skepticism in their own beliefs. That have zero defense against subconscious priming.
