New book published for parapsychologist Cal Cooper

​University of Northampton lecturer and PhD candidate, Cal Cooper, has recently edited his third book on paranormal activity.

Paracoustics: Sound and the Paranormal was published on Monday 1 June and was the idea of Steve Parson, as his PhD explores infrasound and the parapsychological effects it can have on the human mind and body.  Several years ago he began developing ideas with Cal on a book which would cover a variety of aspects of sound and its relationship to paranormal experiences.

Having taken a couple years to piece together, the book caters for psychology and more so parapsychology students, and is also of wide public interest given the variety of topics within its pages.  The books covers the physics of sound, the psychology of sound, infrasound, noisy ghosts, noisy spirits, a brief history of electronic voice phenomena and the psychology of it, strange telephone calls, shamanic use of music, deathbed music and an analysis of poltergeist raps. Contributions to the book involve noted researchers with expertise in psychology, physics, anthropology, electronics, music, and forensic criminal investigation.”

Cal commented: “The book is a useful and in-depth field manual for anyone who is interested in the role of sound in our daily lives, its relationship to paranormal events, the history of such research, and how to set up experiments for yourself.”

The book is available on Amazon in three formats.  Cal’s previous books on the topic of parapsychology includeTelephone Calls from the Dead and Conversations with Ghosts.
