We aim to host events that teach and equip you to be more confident with a Christian approach to the subjects of the paranormal and parapsychology and to understand more about the paranormal beliefs held by the writers of the biblical texts from a contextual perspective.
We also work in conjunction with various external agencies that have similar interests. These groups will occasionally host events that might interest our readers. Information for these events will be published below, together with links to the appropriate page for the organisation. Ghosts, Ghouls and God, however, are not responsible for the content of these events, and it is up to the individual to judge the appropriateness of them.
Why not sign up to our newsletter to receive updates regarding events in Christian parapsychology and the paranormal in the Bible and Christianity?

What does it mean for a Christian to be psychical and spiritual? The word ‘psychic’ is based in the Greek ‘psyche’ or ‘soul’. It’s a word that has often been misunderstood and even ‘demonized’ by some Christians. Some have forgotten the roots of our 2000 year-old faith tradition and this outpouring from a life of prayer.
