Rob Palmer will be joining us to discuss the application of skepticism and critical thinking to paranormal beliefs. He will examine the evidence for several common paranormal beliefs frequently entertained by religious and non-religious folks, including ghosts, haunted houses, near death experiences, reincarnation, and demonic possession.
Rob is a skeptical activist who writes for Skeptical Inquirer as The Well-Known Skeptic. He writes about contemporary skeptical issues, and has interviewed conference speakers, scientists, TV personalities, and skeptical and atheist activists. Rob takes a special interest in combating the dangerous belief in psychics and mediums, and he educates the public about the harm that often befalls vulnerable victims who trust in people claiming these abilities.
