According to a report from journalist Tony Ortega, the Church of Scientology is now offering specialized 'OT Phenomena' services to help homeowners deal with paranormal activity in their properties. These advanced 'Operating Thetan' levels, which can take years to complete and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, are purported to give Scientologists the ability to confront and eliminate ghostly entities haunting their real estate.

Why it matters

Scientology has long promoted the idea that its higher-level 'OT' teachings grant followers supernatural powers, and this latest offering taps into growing public interest in the paranormal. However, critics argue that these services are simply a way for the controversial church to extract more money from vulnerable members under the guise of providing a solution to a problem that may not even exist.

The details

According to the report, the new 'OT Phenomena' services involve a multi-step process where Scientologists are guided through a series of exercises and auditing sessions designed to identify and eliminate any 'ghostly' presences in their homes or businesses. This includes techniques such as 'scanning' the property, 'confronting' the entities, and performing 'exorcism-like' rituals to banish them.

  • The new 'OT Phenomena' services were first introduced in February 2026.

What they’re saying

“For years we've enjoyed reading the ghost stories Scientology passes off as evidence of superpowers gained on the 'Operating Thetan' levels, which take years to complete and hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay for. It's mind over money!”

The takeaway

This latest offering from Scientology highlights the organization's continued efforts to promote its unproven spiritual teachings as the solution to a wide range of personal and societal issues, all while extracting significant sums of money from its members. Critics argue that these 'OT Phenomena' services are simply a cynical ploy to exploit people's fears and vulnerabilities for financial gain.
