Page "Afterlife" Paragraph 97

The Society for Psychical Research was founded in 1882 with the express intention of investigating phenomena relating to Spiritualism and the afterlife.

Its members continue to conduct scientific research on the paranormal to this day.

Some of the earliest attempts to apply scientific methods to the study of phenomena relating to an afterlife were conducted by this organization.

Its earliest members included noted scientists like William Crookes, and philosophers such as Henry Sidgwick and William James.
