WHO WE ARE

The Scottish Society for Psychical Research, is a registered Scottish educational charity. It was founded in 1987 by the late Prof Archie Roy, an Emeritus Professor of Astronomy at Glasgow University.

The Society is the largest organisation in Scotland dedicated to investigating the Paranormal.

We have a monthly lecture programme which runs from September to May: on the 3rd Thursday of the Month at The Glasgow Theosophical Society (Theosophy House) at 7.30 pm.

Our Investigation Group Meetings have started up again & take place on the second Sunday of every month at the Glasgow Theosophical Society, 17 Queens Crescent (downstairs in the Eagle Lodge) from 2 to 4pm. (Members Only).

All are welcome to attend and we pride ourselves on being a friendly group.

The Society itself holds no corporate view on the reality or nature of ‘the paranormal’ and we welcome believers, sceptics and critical thinkers alike.

Members who attend our public Lectures and talks pay no entrance fee but may be asked to contribute a small amount for Investigator Meetings.     

Visitors pay £5 for Lectures/Talks and cannot attend Investigator Meetings.
