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, UFOs, Forteana and earth mysteries.

We specialise in:

investigating hauntings and ghost cases
training paranormal investigators
researching all anomalous, paranormal and xenonormal phenomena

We publish a newsletter, ASSAP News and a journal, Anomaly, as well as an online blog and facebook group. This website contains an extensive resource of reference material on paranormal research. ASSAP is a registered charity in the UK.
