Centre for Inquiry: Benjamin Radford

Join the Calgary branch of the Centre for Inquiry for two local events this October:



"Reflections on a Decade of Paranormal Investigation"

Thursday, Oct 21st, 7:30 p.m., University of Calgary Campus, Room CHC 119

Radford will draw from dozens of case studies over a decade of personal investigations as he discusses the nature of "unexplained mysteries" such as ghosts, Bigfoot, crop circles, and psychic powers. What does science say about the evidence of these topics? What is the nature of the unexplained? Why is there still a debate about these issues?
Cost: $7 (Free for Friends of the Centre, $4 for full time students) Workshop Participants: Free


"The Real X-Files: A Scientific Paranormal Investigations Workshop"

Saturday, Oct 23rd, 3:30 p.m., University of Calgary Campus, Room ICT 114

In this unique intensive workshop Radford will explain the step by step process he has employed in over a decade of investigations, including thinking critically, evaluating unusual claims, interviewing witnesses, and conducting field experiments. Rather than attempting to prove or disprove the existence of these phenomena, attendees will learn Radford's methods of employing science and evidence.
Cost: $25 ($10 for Friend of the Centre, $20 for full time students)
