		The American Society for Psychical Research is the oldest psychical research organization in the United States.

		Research was initially aimed at six areas: telepathy, mesmerism and similar phenomena, mediums, apparitions, physical phenomena associated with sÃ©ances and, finally, the history of all these phenomena.
		Later, an American branch of the Society was formed as the American Society for Psychical Research (ASPR), becoming an affiliate of the original SPR in 1890.
		American writers sometimes incorrectly call the SPR the British Society for Psychical Research (BSPR), to distinguish it from the American SPR, but the modifer should not be added.

		In 1942 I began a part-time job at Harvard (seven years after my doctorate there), saw a seminar on psychical research was offered, and listened in to find what could be said for this bizarre topic.
		To my regret, I could never think of a method that was both rigorous and practical for research on the most exciting possibilities suggested by ESP and PK: problems of the basic characteristics of consciousness or of the self.

	ISS: What is Psychical Research? G. N. M. Tyrrell
		The difficulty of distinguishing psychical research from several things which it is not is increased by the fact that the term is often applied to work which treats the subject in a loose and irresponsible manner.
		All this is not psychical research: but the public unfortunately has acquired the idea that it is, and thinks of the subject as a vague borderland to the marvellous; not as a branch of science.
		Prominent among these are the American Society for Psychical Research, founded as a daughter society of the British one in 1884; the Boston Society for Psychic Research; the Institut Metapsychique International in Paris, which came under the able management of Dr. Eugene Osty.

		The venerable Society was to manufacture yet another one of its embarrassing and toxic scandals -- to the utter horror of all, even to those particular individuals who brought it down on the Society.
