Guest: Tricia J. Robertson, President of the Scottish Society for Psychical Research (SSPR)
Tricia J Robertson has held many roles within the Scottish Society for Psychical Research including Treasurer, Vice President and President. As a former teacher of mathematics and physics, she brings a grounded and science-minded approach to afterlife evidence and parapsychology. She has worked with Parapsychologist, Professor Archie Roy on researching cases at the SPR, as well as teaching a class at the University of Glasgow entitled “An In-Depth Study of Psychical Research.” This course ran for six years examining- The paranormal- what is the evidence?’
She is author of three books:
‘Things You Can Do When You’re Dead’
‘More Things You Can Do When You’re Dead’
‘It’s Life and Death, but Not As You Know It’
Along with making television appearances, normally in documentaries, since 1990 she has also prepared and presented many papers to the SPR and other International Conferences..She is the co-author, with Professor Archie Roy, of three published papers on the study of information provided by mediums. These papers follow a five-year study of controlled experiments in conditions up to triple blind. The results of these studies are published in the JSPR April 2001, January 2004 and July 2004. Tricia was a founding member, and Hon Sec of PRISM, Psychical Research Involving Selected Mediums, 1994- 2008.
She has also completed a four/five year in-depth study of exceptional ostensible paranormal healing which started in 2006 and which produced some spectacular results. Some of these results would appear to indicate a form of psychic surgery. She also completed a report on a 6-year-old boy in Scotland, who, from when he could speak, remembers details of a previous life.
Apart from three published peer-reviewed papers in the JSPR, she has articles published in many journals including the journals of the Swedish and Norwegian Societies for Psychical Research.
Tricia is passionate about the best evidence gathered in various aspects of Psychical Research and does not suffer fools gladly who will not address specific points of evidence in any particular avenue.
While accepting that some people may be deluded in some aspects of experience, it is absolutely certain that there are genuine cases in nearly every aspect of paranormal claims whether they illustrate survival or not. But there is a wealth of evidence out there which leads to survival of consciousness undeniably being the best explanation for the phenomenon. That is, for those who really want to listen.
