Record summary
Founded in 1947 by Eileen J. Garrett and Frances Payne Bolton, the Parapsychology Foundation supported conferences, publications, and investigations of mediumship and related phenomena. Garrett herself was a prominent trance medium whose work attracted researchers, including William G. Roll and other parapsychologists. This lead matters because it connects séance traditions, professionalized research, and transnational networks. The evidential status of individual sittings varies substantially, and the foundation’s institutional role should not be confused with proof of survival or clairvoyance.
