Who are we?

The Ghost Club is the oldest organisation in the world associated with psychical research. It was founded in 1862 but has its roots in Cambridge University where, in 1855, fellows at Trinity College began to discuss ghosts and psychic phenomena.

Past members include Charles Dickens, Siegfried Sassoon, Harry Price, Donald Campbell, Peter Cushing, Peter Underwood, Maurice Grosse, Sir Shane Leslie and Eric Maple. More information can be found on the About Page.

Today the Ghost Club is a non-profit, social club run by an elected Council of volunteers and its purpose remains true to its roots; the Ghost Club offers open-minded, curious individuals the opportunity to debate, explore and investigate unexplained phenomena with like-minded people and record the results for posterity.

Membership

The Ghost Club is based in the UK but has members all over the world. If you are genuinely open-minded, curious, an interested sceptic, an academic or scientist with an interest in research, why not join our friendly community? As we are non-funded, voluntary and non-profit making, your fee funds the operation of the Club.
