PSYCHICAL RESEARCH FOUNDATION

Exploring the Science of Parapsychology

Fredericksburg, TX   |  http://www.psychicalresearchfoundation.com

Mission

The Psychical Research Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to research and education in the field of parapsychology (the scientific study of ostensible psychic phenomena, which include extrasensory perception or ESP, and psychokinesis or "mind over matter"), with a particular emphasis on research and investigation of phenomena which seem to have a bearing on the question of life after death. The latter phenomena include apparitions, hauntings, mediumship, and out-of-body experiences. PRF research and educational activities include empirical studies, public lectures, and scholarly publications related to these topics.

Notes from the nonprofit

All of the latest news regarding the research and educational activities of the PRF is continually made available on its website (https://www.psychicalresearchfoundation.com), along with freely-accessible electronic copies of several of its published articles.
