Paul Beard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Beard (October 14, 1904 - June 9, 2002) was an author and was the president of the College of Psychic Studies[1] based in London, England for sixteen years.
The organization was devoted to finding in spiritualism evidence of life after death. During his tenure as a member and president Beard wrote an article that was published in Spiritual Frontiers in 1970 on "How to Guard Against Possession." During this research he experimented extensively with using an ouija board. He later strongly cautioned people never to use, study or write about ouija boards.
Beard has written a trilogy of books analyzing the evidence for and against the survival of the human soul after death. He has made a lifetime study of psychical research. He was also a member of the Society for Psychical Research.
