Okay kiddo, so there is a group of grown-ups who are very interested in things that are strange and mysterious. They want to study these things to try and learn more about them! This group is called the Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena, or ASSAP for short.
Now, when we say "anomalous phenomena," we mean things that are unusual or that we don't see very often. For example, have you ever seen a ghost? Or a UFO? Maybe you've heard a strange noise in your house that you couldn't explain. These are all examples of anomalous phenomena!
The people in ASSAP use science and research to try and understand these things better. They might go to haunted houses and use special equipment to measure changes in temperature or energy. They might interview people who have had strange experiences to learn more about what happened. And they might even conduct experiments to try and reproduce the things they've seen.
Now, some people might think that studying these strange things is silly or unimportant. But the people in ASSAP believe that it's very important to keep an open mind and explore all the mysteries of the world around us. Who knows, maybe one day they'll even discover something truly groundbreaking!
