Dr Alex Tanous was well known in the USA for his remarkable psychic gifts. He claimed to be able to leave his body at will and travel in the astral form, project light from his eyes, interact with ghosts, and made many remarkable predictions. Recently, the forgotten work of his field investigations into ghosts and hauntings with the late Dr Karlis Osis have been recovered and pieced back together as far as possible, demonstrating some remarkable first hand experiences – including the investigation of the Amityville House.
All this will be discussed and so much more. Including Steve Parsons and Callum Cooper’s new project on ‘sound and the paranormal’
Callum Cooper is a chartered psychologist based at the University of Northampton, within
its Centre for the Study of Anomalous Psychological Processes (CSAPP). There, he lectures on topics such a parapsychology, death and bereavement, sexual behaviour and positive psychology. He is a member of the Society for Psychical for Psychical Research (and on its Survival Research Committee) and a member of the Parapsychological Association. He is the author and editor of such books as: Telephone Calls from the Dead (Tricorn Books, 2012), Conversations with Ghosts (White Crow Books, 2013) and Paracoustics (White Crow Books, 2015).

In the 1990s Britain and America were shaken by allegations that Satanic cults were conducting horrific abuse on babies, children and teenagers, and that young women were “brood mares” for babies that were then killed in Satanic rituals.
Professor Emeritus Jean La Fontaine of LSE wrote Speak of the Devil: Tales of
Satanic Abuse in Contemporary England, which appeared to bring an end to the moral panic that had dominated the media – but which has sprung up again this year in north London.
Professor Chris French of the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit, Goldsmiths College, is a world expert on false memories – how and why people can be made to believe they have had entirely fictional experiences, including ritual sexual abuse.
Together they examine how such spurious stories are promulgated by a sensation-hungry media, and how sensible professionals, from social workers to police officers, can be taken in by them.
