Who are the PRAB?

 

The Paranormal Research Association of Boston is a team of scientific paranormal researchers coming from all walks of life. We are dedicated to the research of all claimed paranormal experiences with a three fold mission.

 

1. Above all, to help people who are suffering from paranormal experiences in their residences / places of work

2. To further our, and as a consequence the public at large, understanding of paranormal activity through logical, verifiable scientific means.

3. Through presentations, classes and our published research papers, to give the public an understanding of both paranormal activity and the methods we use to locate and test paranormal activity.

 

We use both tried and tested methods along with cutting edge technology / theory, developed in-house and from the community, to further our knowledge and research techniques. In turn this enhances the service we give to our clients.

We do not now, and will never charge any business or person for our services. We remain not-for-profit and privately funded by our members.

The PRAB was formed in 2008 when the founder of the Paranormal Research Association of Ireland, one of Ireland's top associations, moved to the US. We remain in close contact with the PRAI, and our other national and international affiliates. This again enhances the service we can provide, as we have access to a massive, worldwide knowledge sharing network.

Public Lecture: "The Science of Paranormal Research"
in the Brookline Adult and Community Education Center

Lead Investigator Ian Murphy hosts the hit lecture, The Science of Paranormal Research

The Science of Paranormal Research is designed to educate members of the public in the basics of scientific paranormal research. It offers people interested in paranormal research the opportunity to experience the scientific aspect of research of this very interesting subject

 

The presentation has been given over 5 years in 2 continents, with updates as new theory and practice come into play. The audience is also exposed to the equipment used in paranormal research. It encompasses the use of, and theories behind, the equipment we use.

When asked why he is giving this one off lecture, Ian Murphy explains:

"When we started in Ireland, the notion of a research association using scientific methods to research something as controversial as ghosts etc, was unheard of. People frankly didn't understand what we did.

These days, as talking about strange things that have happened to you is becoming more and more acceptable, we have decided to re-visit this forum.

I have updated this presentation for 2010, and while it has some elements that are still in place from the 2005 presentation, it is mainly new material. The reason behind this is we continuously refine our research methods, research and implement new techniques, experiments and equipment. In 5 years, I'm sure I'll be saying the same about this 2010 presentation!"
