THAT’S DR. GHOSTBUSTER TO YOU

A university in the UK has set up a program to allow students to earn a degree in parapsychology. According to program director Dr. Tony Lawrence, this “controversial yet thought-provoking” two-year program will use scientific methods to investigate such matters as ghosts, extra-sensory perception, survival beyond death, and other paranormal subjects. Dr. Lawrence promises that the course will try to find the middle ground between science and religion, using “an honest, open systematic examination of the evidence for these exceptional human experiences”.
