Rogo served as a consulting editor for ''Fate Magazine'' for which he wrote a regular column; he advocated greater involvement by both researchers and skeptics in parapsychological research. Rogo was open minded on the question of survival of consciousness after death, he wrote that he was "favourable to the survival notion" he was however skeptical about some of the phenomena involved in psychical research as he believed they could be psychological experiences.〔(Thoughts on Survival of Consciousness by D. Scott Rogo )〕 He is most well known for his book written with Raymond Bayless titled ''Phone Calls From The Dead'' (1979) in which they describe an alleged paranormal phenomenon in which people report that they receive simple, brief, and usually single-occurrence telephone calls from spirits of deceased relatives, friends, or strangers.〔(Phone Calls from the Dead by Jim Hale )〕 In his book ''The Haunted Universe'' (1977) Rogo hypothesized that strange phenomena such as flying saucers and Bigfoot are really psychic projections that are produced by the minds of the observers themselves.〔Rogo, D.
