Paranormal research

The Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena (ASSAP) has been investigating the weird seriously (and the seriously weird) since 1981. Our main aims are paranormal research and education.

Anomalous phenomena include psychic phenomena (including ghosts, ESP), UFOs, Forteana and earth mysteries.

We specialise in:

We publish a newsletter, ASSAP News and a journal, Anomaly, as well as an online blog and facebook group. To attend investigator courses and receive the printed publications you need to join. ASSAP is a registered charity in the UK.
