Is parapsychology a science or pseudoscience? You tell me. Also, why do you think parapsychology is so controversial?
Addendum:
The following is a link to a paper published in the "The Journal of Parapsychology." It raises issues pertinent to the subject matter of this thread, namely, that psi effects are capricious, actively evasive, and unsustainable. Here's an excerpt from the abstract:

"Many parapsychological writers have suggested that psi may be capricious or actively evasive. The evidence for this includes the unpredictable, significant reversal of direction for psi effects, the loss of intended psi effects while unintended secondary or internal effects occur, and the pervasive declines in effect for participants, experimenters, and lines of research. Also, attempts to apply psi typically result in a few very impressive cases among a much larger number of unsuccessful results. The term unsustainable is applicable because psi is sometimes impressive and reliable, but then becomes actively evasive."

Kennedy, published in the "Journal of Parapsychology," 2003, Volume 67, pp. 53–74 )
