line: Question)
Why did you write a parapsychology book?
When people find out what you do, a good few questions normally follow.
Some people think the paranormal is nonsense, others less so. It just seemed
clear to me that folk might like an easy-to-read and accessible book that
illuminates parapsychology and the paranormal.
Why did
you choose this 'novel / popular science' format?
Just so the book isn't too full-on. People can dip in and out of the
endnotes when they want to learn more about particular topic areas, whilst
(hopefully) enjoying the main part of the book as a stand-alone story.
How do you
become a parapsychologist?
Parapsychologists hail from a number of disciplines including physics,
philosophy and psychiatry (lots of 'P's it seems), but most have
psychology backgrounds (mainly experimental, but also clinical). There are a
couple of universities in the UK that teach parapsychology, both as courses
at the undergraduate level, and as postgraduate qualifications.
I did my doctorate at Edinburgh University's 'Koestler Parapsychology
Unit', which is part of the psychology department. Since it was founded in
1985, the KPU has turned out over two dozen PhD graduates, and been home to
scores of laboratory experiments.
Any lecture tours planned? What about in the USA?
I think we'll have to see how well the book does first.
I really loved The Hidden Whisper. Fantastic! The book
would make a great movie - any chance we'll see Luke Jackson starring on the
Big Screen?
Thank you for your kind words. The Big Screen? Maybe one
day...
In the book, you discuss Zener Cards.
Do you have any pictures of what they actually look like?
I've placed some sample Zener Cards on my blog
here.
A pack of Zener cards would contain five of each card type; twenty-five in
total.
I've seen Ghostbusters. Do you live in a Firehouse and
drive a Cadillac ambulance as well?
Errr..... no.
Summarize your book in 10 words or less.
A bit of Scooby-Doo, Columbo, and popular science.
