About ASSAP

ASSAP is a scientifically-orientated educational and research charity and learned society dedicated to a better understanding of anomalous phenomena. As well as education, we carry out investigations and research.

Anomalous phenomena divide broadly into four areas: psychic phenomena (ghosts, telepathy, mediumship, etc.), Fortean phenomena (cryptozoology, fish falling from the sky, etc.), Earth Mysteries (leys, archaeoastronomy, etc.) and UFOs. 

As part of our educational remit, this website includes lots of practical information such as:

• paranormal investigation hints
• equipment used on paranormal vigils
• an extensive section on paranormal photos
• articles on research and previous cases

Also, we undertake training for paranormal investigators.
