    Stacy used the archives, housed in the manuscript
    department of Perkins Library at Duke University, to
    good advantage illustrating not only the rise of
    scientific parapsychology in the United States but also
    all the various types of phenomena parapsychologists
    are likely to study. Her blog series not only supports
    the sales of her wonderful book but also presents lots of
    information both historical and modern on the
    scientific study of psychic phenomena. Stacy updates
    the blog series frequently.

    JJ Lumsden's Hidden Whispers Blog

    JJ Lumsden got his PhD at the University of Edinburgh
    a little later than did Carlos Alvarado and Nancy
    Zingrone.  While most of us who studied at Edinburgh
    under the auspices of the Koestler Unit of
    Parapsychology have gone on to teach and/or do
    research in psychology and parapsychology, JJ is
    pursuing his dream to make  a living as a writer.  His
    first novel, Hidden Whispers is a very good read and is
    available for The AZIRE Bookstore by clicking on the

    turns of phrase (although it is a little disconcerting
    when the Biker Guy  in the book apologizes for having
    had a lie in -- a phrase never used in the States except
    by transplanted Brits. Those of us who've lived in the
    UK and/or watch a lot of BBC America know that's an
    apology for sleeping late!).
    America know that's an apology for sleeping late!).


    The blog  which is just as fun and informative as Hidden
    Whispers, both supports the book and provides lots of
    great information about work in the field today
    including interviews with working faculty pursuing the
    study of the psychology of belief and experience.

    Dean Radin's Entangled Mind Blog

    Dean Radin  is the premier  scientist in  academic
    parapsychology today. Senior Scientist at the Institute
    of Noetic Sciences, Dean has written a number of books
    on the topic and hundreds of academic  articles
    published in peer-reviewd journals.

    This blog supports the publication of his most recent
    book, Entangled Mind, and provides a wealth of
    information about his theories and experiments but
    also the books he reads, the websites he endorses, and
    the conferences he attends. An extremely useful way
    into the field for students and teachers alike.

    Michael Prescott's Blog, "Occasional Thoughts on
    Matters of Life and Death"

    Michael Prescott's blog is not a parapsychology blog per
    se, but it ranges widely over a lot of topics relevant to
    those of us interested in the scientific study of psychic
    phenomena and in the psychology of belief and
    experience. Prescott frequently touches on
    parapsychology, on survival after death, and on books
    and ideas  from the field and releveant to the field. His
    is a blog that is well worth the time spent browsing the
    archives.

    Charles T. Tart's Blog

    Charlie Tart, a psychologist of some note, has written
    some of the foundational books in altered states of
    consiciousness, transpersonal psychology and
    parapsychology. After a long career at the University of
    California at Davis, he's now emeritus there and also a
    faculty member at the Institute for Transpersonal
    Psychology in California. He blogs on several topics so
    his blog home page has buttons on "Transpersonal,"
    "Parapsychology", "Consciousness" and "Why" and
    another for his writings that don't fit under the topic
    headings and is called simply, "Uncategorized."

    He's not only a delightful guy but an extremely
    readable writer! This is another blog that pays you back
    many times over for any time you spend mining the
    archives.
