Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena

The Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena (ASSAP) is a UK-based education and research charity,〔(Charity Commission website )〕 dedicated to scientifically investigate alleged paranormal and anomalous phenomena, with a view to approaching the subject in its entirety rather than looking into the psychology of individual phenomenon. The charity also incorporates various smaller groups, providing support during investigations. Paranormal Awakening and the Midlands Ghost Research Society belong to this category. They also hold training days for would-be investigators and provide research grants.
The charity also has sub-committees such as the Circles Research Program, who investigate crop circles. On average they hold 1,000 investigations a year.
ASSAP's refusal to accept populist explanations for ghosts and its focus on recording of experience rather than phenomena has garnered cautious praise from skeptics.〔(Parnormal Investigator ) ''The Skeptics Dictionary''〕 The first part of their investigative process, which is used to detect obvious fraud, is kept a secret from the public.
==History==
The ASSAP was founded on 10 June 1981 by Council members of the Society for Psychical Research who were modernisers;〔Fraser, J. (2010) ''Ghost Hunting: A Survivors Guide''〕 its current president is Lionel Fanthorpe. The previous president was Michael Bentine who had a long-term interest in the subject of the paranormal.〔(Obituary for Michael Bentine ), ''The Independent''〕
Founding members included well-known authors Hilary Evans and Jenny Randles as well as Fortean Times editor Bob Rickard, Dr Vernon Harrison and Dr Hugh Pincott (previously secretary and treasurer of the Society for Psychical Research) 〔〔Hope, V. & Townsend, M. (1999) ''The Paranormal Investigator's Handbook''.〕
