As I mentioned in my last blog (which was the first blog -- confusin' ain't it?), I do have other plans for this year.
What might be coming in this blog...
I've not really had a blog for a few years but felt like it was time. So 2025 -- and this blog -- is it. I'm not committing (yet) to posting on a regular basis, but rather as interesting new developments in Parapsychology and Consciousness Research come to my attention.
I'll also likely be a bit more "regular" by writing a blog based on an interesting question I am asked in my biweekly live YouTube Q&A, Ask Professor Paranormal.
I may post something more pop culture-related (movies, TV/streaming, comic books, etc.) especially when connected to the psychic/paranormal world -- but I just might write about those new books, movies, etc. that are interesting and exciting to me.
Folks who know me also generally know about my love (and knowledge) of good chocolate, so look for the occasional recommendation of something to try. Lately I've been buying my artisan chocolate bars from a great online site, Bar & Cocoa. Amazing selection and service.
I'm also happy to take suggestions (via the Contact form or askprofparanormal@gmail.com)
Speaking/Lecturing
Watch my Events page for upcoming in-person and online lectures and presentations. I don't typically find myself speaking at more than one (sometimes two) paranormal/ghost conferences, but it's likely I'll be asked sometime over the next few months. Same for online lectures, which are more common throughout the year.
The Rhine Research Center is celebrating the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Duke University Parapsychology Laboratory, which moved off-campus in 1965 and morphed into the organization that was eventually named in honor of the founders, J.B. and Louisa Rhine. I should be participating in some online events this year and typically find myself in Durham, NC, in November for something in person. Watch the Events page for all Rhine events (whether I'm included or not) -- or better yet, join the Rhine as a member.
Other publishing projects
I've recently had the idea for shorter, succinct books (appropriately priced) on a few topics, one of which would be based on my Rhine Education Center course on psychic development ("Developing Your Intuition"). It will include "experiments," exercises, and a game or two -- all based on what we've learned about ESP in Parapsychology and my own work with numerous psychics and mediums over the last 40+ years.
Another short book I'm considering for 2025 is one to provide a basic understanding of Parapsychology directed at the "paranormal community" (ghost hunters & paranormal investigators), so many of whom I've found haven't been exposed to how my field really connects with what they're doing.
I'm open to other ideas...
Audio & Video
Not committing to this, but I have ideas for a couple of audio and video projects of my own this year (or next). I'll let you know through this blog as things develop.
Professor Paranormal Psychic Entertainment
For those in the Bay Area, I'm hoping to be able to set up a couple (or more) public shows for my mentalism performance. Watch the events page (and I will definitely let folks on the mailing list know, of course).
That's all for now.
