    What is a UFO???withGreg Bishop

    July 1, 2022

    Here he maintains that he is interested in understanding UFO phenomena, not in “proving” that they are anything in particular.

    Psychopathologizing Psychic PhenomenawithPaul Leslie

    July 13, 2022

    Paul shares that the norm may be that most people, including mental health practitioners, have psychic and paranormal experiences.
