ESP, altered states, poltergeists, past lives, spontaneous After-Death Communication, and mediumship are a few of the topics explored in a free lecture series starting Saturday, January 18th. International experts in parapsychology will be at your disposal. Attendance won’t make you a parapsychologist, but will definitely earn you bragging rights amongst fellow weirdos and a lovely certificate of completion for your wall.
The program is called the ParaMOOC, which is fun to say, but MOOC just means “Massive Open Online Course”. These live video-chat lectures are the real deal, so they are very academic (resembling your standard college lecture), but paranormal enthusiasts will still find the content fascinating. Participants gain access to actual researchers, watch their presentations, ask questions, and discuss topics with other attendees from around the world via live chat.
Presenters include historian Dr. Andreas Sommer, Prof. Christine Simmonds-Moore, recipient of the D. Scott Rogo Award for Parapsychological Literature, and Bryan Williams, Research Director of the Psychical Research Foundation, and a student of the late parapsychologist William Roll.
