[gabe911]

Are miracles (alleged or real) studied at all by parapsychologists? I dont hear much talk about them.

You have to define miracles.

If you are referring to specific events of the bible, they are studied by historians, archeologists and the like.

If you consider a miracle to be when laws of nature are broken by supernatural entities then I don't think that is part of parapsychology. It is religion.

If you consider a miracle to be when something that you can't explain happens and interpret it as an indication of the incompleteness of scientific knowledge then I think parapsychology does study some of those types of things.
