This is the official organization of researchers and academics involved in the field of Parapsychology. There are several levels of membership to allow students, those who are not directly working in the field, and members of the general public to join.

The Rhine has a huge media library – videos of lectures by researchers, psychics, and others presented over the last few years. There are a few that are free, but you are encouraged to join, not only to gain access to the media library and get discounts on webcasts of new lectures and discounts on classes and other things, but mainly to help support the work of the Rhine. The Rhine Education Center (www.rhineedu.org) offers online courses throughout the year (Loyd Auerbach is one of the instructors).
The Rhine publishes the Journal of Parapsychology.
The SPR is the oldest psychical research/parapsychology organization. Lots of good info here for free, especially the Psi Encyclopedia (https://psi-encyclopedia.spr.ac.uk/) – an ever-growing resource on psychic abilities and research. The SPR publishes a journal (Journal of the Society for Psychical Research) and magazine (The Magazine) for general readers.
Run by Dr. Ed May, physicist and former director of the Star Gate program, LFR provides exceptional background on past and current research in Remote Viewing, Precognition, and more.

PDN is a truly rising star in the world of good information about the paranormal and the unexplained.

Coming in early 2023 is a magazine, PARAWIZE.

UVA Division of Perceptual Studies YouTube channel (note the appearance of John Cleese as interviewer in a number of videos):
Of course, there are more good websites from other reputable organizations and sources of information (though FYI, Wikipedia is NOT one of them), as well as websites of many of my colleagues in and around Parapsychology & Psychical Research. Contact me if you want more via email at profparanormal@gmail.com and follow me on Twitter @profparanormal
Below is a list of Twitter accounts to follow for news and gossip of the Paranormal and Parapsychology that I find credible (in no particular order). Naturally, given what’s going on with Twitter these days since the takeover by Elon Musk, there’s no guarantee all of these folks/groups will stick around on the platform (or that Twitter will even survive).
