Pyrokinesis

Pyrokinesis is the claimed psychic ability to create, control, or manipulate fire using only the mind. The term combines the Greek words "pyro," meaning fire, and "kinesis," meaning movement or control.

While pyrokinesis is a popular concept in paranormal folklore and fiction, it lacks scientific support or evidence; experiments have failed to validate any such power under controlled conditions. Cultural stories and media often depict it as a supernatural force linked to intense emotion or spiritual energy, reflecting humanity's long fascination with fire’s mystique.

On this site, readers share first-person accounts describing unusual encounters with fire manipulation or spontaneous combustion that they believe may involve pyrokinesis. A jury of readers then votes to assess the likelihood that these stories are true, fake, or somewhere in between.
