The Society for Psychical Research

The Society for Psychical Research (SPR), founded in 1882, is an organization dedicated to investigating phenomena related to the mind and consciousness, such as telepathy, psychokinesis, and near-death experiences. Its goal is to conduct rigorous scientific research and critical evaluation of evidence surrounding these areas, aiming to understand whether such phenomena have a basis in reality. The SPR promotes open-minded inquiry while maintaining scientific standards, often involving researchers from diverse disciplines. It has played a significant role in exploring the boundaries of human perception and consciousness, balancing skepticism with curiosity.
