Alan Gauld Alan Gauld (born 1932) is a British parapsychologist, psychologist and writer most well known for his research on the history of hypnotism. ==Biography==
Gauld was born in Portland, Dorset. In the late 1950s he attended Harvard University. He obtained an M.S. in 1958 and a PhD in 1962 from Emmanuel College. He taught psychology at Nottingham University and was the President of the Society for Psychical Research from 1989 to 1992.〔("Biography of Alan Gauld" ). 6 Sep. 2015.〕〔("Alan Gauld" ). Encyclopedia of Occultism and Parapsychology. 2001. Encyclopedia.com. 6 Sep. 2015.〕 Gauld has generally been skeptical of physical mediumship. He has claimed that ectoplasm materializations seem to "smack very strongly of fraud and conjuring", such as made from cheesecloth or net curtain. He states however that he believes there is genuine evidence for movement of objects during séances including the phenomena produced with the medium Daniel Dunglas Home.〔Iverson, Jeffrey. (1992). ''In Search of the Dead''. HarperCollins. p. 140. ISBN 978-0062505064〕 This is in opposition to other researchers who have declared that Home was fraudulent.〔See for example Booth, John. (1986). ''Psychic Paradoxes''. Prometheus Books. p. 168. ISBN 0-87975-358-7. Christopher, Milbourne. (1970). ''ESP, Seers & Psychics''. Thomas Y. Crowell Co. pp. 174-187. ISBN 978-0-690-26815-7. Pearsall, Ronald. (1972). ''The Table-Rappers''. Book Club Associates. pp. 95-96. ISBN 978-0750936842. Wiley, Barry H. (2012). ''The Thought Reader Craze: Victorian Science at the Enchanted Boundary''. McFarland. p. 36. ISBN 978-0786464708〕 He has criticized the Scole experiment, a series of séances that members of the Society for Psychical Research investigated. During one of the séances there was "spontaneous appearance of images on film", though Gauld discovered that the locked box was "easily opened in the dark, which allowed for easy substitution of film rolls."〔("The Scole Experiment" ).
