Learn about the Paranormal!

Learn about the science -- and pseudoscience -- of paranormal investigating. Learn what skeptical inquiry is and how it's used in the quest for paranormal phenomena. Explore the universal cultural attitudes about ghosts. Real-life skeptical investigators from a San Diego-based TAPS Family group will talk about their experiences and present anomalous findings from their own case files—some that are "real" and others that are just really funny. Learn about the tools used to gather data in allegedly haunted locations, the importance of applying critical thinking skills to properly analyze data, and the valuable resources found at your public library to begin your own search for the truth about ghostly phenomena.
