PRACTICAL PARAPSYCHOLOGY Features & Highlights:
- Layperson discussions of research in parapsychology hear what the latest scientific studies reveal about all things paranormal, as well as learn “how to” principles for using social science in your own excursions into hauntings and high strangeness.
- Plain language debates and discussions on the latest theories, methods and findings, student resources, researcher interviews, and personal accounts regarding “all things high-strangeness.”
- Deep analysis of “paranormal topics in the news” — ghosts, UFOs, entities, bioenergy, cryptids, psychic abilities, and the world of conspiracies. We canvass the mass media for the latest stories and studies and help you separate “fact from fiction.”
- Collaborative segments with audience participation with at-home or in-field paranormal research projects and then discusses the findings and implications with professional parapsychologists.
- Coming attractions that give “sneak peeks” of forthcoming research publications in the Journal of Scientific Exploration.

Adversarial Collaboration on a Drake-S Equation for the Survival Question
An Essay by BRIAN LAYTHE and JAMES HOURAN
There is a sizable 39% gap between the added weight of reported evidence for an ‘afterlife’ minus the collective power of common skeptical explanations. This finding argues for continued research on different hypotheses for anomalous experiences that suggest postmortem survival of human consciousness.

This show is a laugh and a bitter insult to anyone who is serious about finding out what the truth is about when it comes to Parapsychology. Brian Laythe tries to be a stand-up comedian and shows no respect to his audience as evident in the way he dresses, keeps looking up into the sky, accompanied by the laughing sound track provided by Cindy Little. The only professional in the group is Jim Houran, who dresses, talks and walks the part. Brian Laythe is yet another example on how the "paranormal" and those professes to be a "parapsychologist" are not living up to the standards of professionalism sought by the inquiring public.
