The Society for Psychical Research (SPR)

The Society for Psychical Research (SPR) is an organization founded in 1882 in the UK that investigates paranormal phenomena, such as ghosts, psychic abilities, and near-death experiences. Its goal is to study these topics scientifically and critically, distinguishing between genuine experiences and those that can be explained by psychology or trickery. The SPR conducts research, publishes findings, and promotes discussion about the nature of consciousness, belief, and the unknown. By applying rigorous methods, the society aims to contribute to the understanding of human experiences that challenge conventional scientific explanations.
