Your chance to help with a parapsychology study

**Skeptical**

I can't vouch for the legitimacy of this but I thought I would pass it along:

Lund University Parapsychology Study

Posted: 21 Apr 2008 10:26 AM CDT
Members of the Department of Psychology of Lund University are seeking volunteers (aged 18 or older) with paranormal investigation experience to participate in an internet study examining photographic anomalies.

Participants are required to have field experience in paranormal investigation to take part in the study.

Study participants will be asked to examine 100 photographs and complete three short questionnaires. The study takes approximately one hour to complete. All participants will be offered a report of the results when the research is completed.

Please contact annalisa@liminallabs.org if you are interested in volunteering your expertise.

There is a Lund University in Sweden. Again, I have no idea if this is legit so take care if you decide to participate.

Just a follow-up - I e-mailed the address provided above and have not received a response. If anyone else hears anything, please share.

I just heard back from these folks and the study does appear to be associated with Lund University in Sweden. They are looking for people with actual investigative experience in the area of hauntings - so I don't know that we'd all qualify. Still, it never hurts to contact them and let them know if you are interested.

They should contact the Koestler group who have a track record already.

The woman who contacted me said she would be back in touch with study materials but I haven't heard anything. Not sure what their time frame is for conducting the study. Seems to me they may be as interested in paranormal "investigators" as they are in the paranormal, so it may actually be a slightly different take on things.
