Classes
Neil was approached by Shoreline Community College in 2008 with the idea of presenting a lecture about paranormal phenomena, after he was featured in a KING5-TV "Evening Magazine" story on paranormal investigation. Neil was delighted with the idea of presenting a non-sensationalistic approach to paranormal studies for a more academic audience, and the simple lecture proposal became a highly popular course on paranormal investigation and a layperson’s guide to parapsychology. This course is now offered at a variety of locations in the Puget Sound area (see below for schedule and registration information).Neil's Paranormal Studies course consists of a pair of four-week classes that are designed to be fun, factual, and to challenge common views of the paranormal. The course provides students with an introduction to the scientific study of psi phenomena, including current theories about ESP, psychokinesis, and the survival of bodily death; the nature of hauntings, apparitions, and poltergeists; the history of psychical research through the present day; an overview of consciousness studies; modern approaches to field investigation; and development of sound investigative protocols for fieldwork in psi research. Neil's approach does not promote a single viewpoint; rather, the course presents the information and findings in paranormal investigation which are unknown to most people.
In addition to academic perspectives, Neil shares his own theories and often humorous experiences gleaned from over fifteen years investigating spontaneous reports of hauntings, apparitions, and poltergeist activity. Both classes in the Paranormal Studies course include field trips to historic Puget Sound locations, where students can put the core concepts of the course into action in a formalized field investigation.
Neil's Paranormal Studies course is offered year-round at a variety of Puget Sound locations. Neil is also available for lecture presentations and other speaking engagements. Please contact him for more information.
