This part of the Open Mind Site features a selection of Web links covering different aspects of psychical research. We have made an effort to seep through the mass of resources available on the Web - most of which are in fact very damaging for the credibility of psychical research - and select only very good resources. Obviously, this list is in no way exhaustive. We hope you will find this interesting.
