Organization: The Society for Psychical Research

The Society for Psychical Research (SPR) is an organization founded in 1882 to scientifically investigate phenomena related to the mind and consciousness that are not easily explained by current scientific understanding. These include reports of psychic abilities, telepathy, ghosts, and other unusual experiences. The SPR aims to study such phenomena rigorously, using careful research methods, to determine whether they have a basis in reality. Its goal is to advance knowledge about these mysterious aspects of human experience while maintaining scientific integrity, encouraging open, objective inquiry into things that often fall outside mainstream science.
