Paranormal Studies

The study of paranormal activity, whether it is ESP, telekenisis, ghosts, or any other kind of haunting, causes many in academia to clutch at their pearls. It’s easy to see why. These thing are considered “fringe” science, outside the realm of the physical world and what we know to be true and can measure.

And yet, it may not all be as “fringe” as you might think.

Here are 11 universities that have paranormal studies that they either conducted once or run regularly in their labs. 

1. University of Arizona

2. Stanford University

The Department of Psychology at the University of Arizona owns both the VERITAS and SOPHIA research projects. They are designed to explore the possibility that human consciousness transcends death. VERITAS looked at the existence of the personality beyond death as well as mediumship

Stanford was the first academic institution in the United States to study extrasensory perception (ESP) and psychokinesis (PK).
