This is a thoroughly updated and revised edition of our highly acclaimed university textbook on the science of parapsychology. The objective of this book is to provide an introductory survey of parapsychologists' efforts to explore the authenticity and bases of anomalous, apparently paranormal phenomena. It outlines the origins of parapsychological research and critically reviews investigations of extrasensory perception, psychokinesis, poltergeist phenomena, near-death and out-of-body experiences, and the evaluation of parapsychology as a scientific enterprise.

Watt, Caroline was born on October 6, 1962 in Perth, Scotland. Daughter of David Forsyth and Dorothy Alice Dow.
Master of Arts in Psychology with honors, St. Andrews University, Scotland, 1984. Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology, University Edinburgh, Lothian, Scotland, 1993.
She has also been Perrot-Warrick Senior Researcher since 2010. She has coauthored the fifth edition of “An Introduction to Parapsychology,” which as of 2010 was the most frequently adopted text by those presenting academic courses on parapsychology and anomalistic psychology. In 2011, Watts with the neuroscientist Dean Mobbs published a skeptical paper on the near-death experience in the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences.
In regards to Sam Parnia"s near-death research, she stated, "The one ‘verifiable period of conscious awareness’ that Parnia was able to report did not relate to this objective test.
Rather, it was a patient giving a supposedly accurate report of events during his resuscitation. He didn’t identify the pictures, he described the defibrillator machine noise.
But that’s not very impressive since many people know what goes on in an emergency room setting from seeing recreations on television", Watson, South., & Wilson, L.,, Stevens, P., Greening, East., & O’Keeffe, C. &.
