Society for Psychical Research

The Society for Psychical Research (abbreviated SPR ) is an association for research into parapsychological phenomena. It was founded in London in 1882 and was the first of its kind.

Founding members were William F. Barrett, Edmund Gurney, Frederic WH Myers and George John Romanes, all associated with Trinity College (Cambridge). Barrett gave the suggestion as early as 1876 out of an interest in spiritualism. The results of the research are presented in the Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research and in Journal of the Society for Psychical Research released. The most well-known, but also most controversial, investigation to date was the so-called Hodgson Report from the years 1884/85.
