...in the UK.It's the paranormal education and research charity as thinking of joining up? If so what have you heard about it?

Personally I had never heard of it before your posting here. I will ask around the groups I'm involved with and let you know what they say

here is the link about the organization www.assap.ac.uk/

I hope that was ok . I would suggest that if anyone joins that organization or any other they suggest buying an ad or banner on this site

Just trying to find out if it's legit first as the address is a Postbox number

seems to be, this is from Wikipedia,

The Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena (ASSAP) is a United Kingdom-based education and research charity, and professional body whose mission is to scientifically investigate alleged paranormal and anomalous phenomena.

ASSAP's refusal to accept populist explanations for ghosts and its focus on recording of experience rather than phenomena has garnered cautious praise from skeptics .



The ASSAP was founded on 10 June 1981 by Council members of the Society for Psychical Research who were modernisers [4]; its current president is Lionel Fanthorpe. The previous president was Michael Bentine who had a long term interest in the subject of the paranormal.

Founding members included well known authors Hilary Evans and Jenny Randles as well as Fortean Times editor Bob Rickard, Dr Vernon Harrison and Dr Hugh Pincott (previously secretary and treasurer of the Society for Psychical Research)

As of July 2008, its chairman was Dave Wood.

ASSAP are cool and that's not just because I'm from the UK as well. I once stumbled across a group of ASSAP investigators who were doing a vigil on Bluebell Hill in Kent, UK and they let me have a look at the research they had done prior to the investigation. It was very professional and thorough, obviously very dedicated and devoted to the cause.

Hope that helps

Aha!....thank you very much. Now I know they are legit! Yes Bluebell Hill. I grew up in Kent,this was a very common/well known ghost. Once in a while we'd get wind of 'another' person seeing her.....
