Welcome to ASSAP
ASSAP is a charity and learned membership association founded in 1981 to investigate, research, and educate on anomalous phenomena — from examining hauntings and UFO/UAPs to Psi, cryptids, and beyond.
We combine scientific rigour with open-minded curiosity, supporting both professional researchers and passionate enthusiasts.
Education is key to our work, we carry out paranormal investigations and train members to become Accredited Investigators with our AAI and ARI programs.
We produce publications and content to inform, enlighten and to help us navigate the knowledge of the anomalous.
