Phone calls from the dead: history, controversies, and theories - Professor Cal Cooper
Advertisement
This evening we will take you on an exploration of alleged Phone Calls from the Dead. Often, they have been associated with the psychology of ‘After-Death Communication’ experiences, where reports occur of deceased individuals allegedly making contact. However, unusual reports of telephone calls from living individuals and perceived ‘extra-terrestrials’ have been documented too. Cal will be presenting examples of such cases, the history, controversies, psychological theories and more… ring, ring!
