While considering the fundamental questions of nature and humanity’s place within the universe, many of the key thinkers of the late Victorian period found science or religion alone as inadequate individual tools with which to help with the answers. Some of these, who were often from the cultural elite, combined these existing domains with research into paranormal phenomena, which they found provided more comprehensive and cohesive theories. This talk looks at some of what took place at the time and asks what relevance there is for today’s paranormal researchers.

About Robert Radakovic

Dr Robert Radakovic

I am an ex-management accountant who left the corporate world over a decade ago to study for an MA in Western Esotericism, followed by a PhD which considered the interplay between Science, Religion, Philosophy and the Paranormal in the nineteenth century. I have had a lifelong interest in ghosts, UAP (UFOs) and psychic phenomena. I undertake independent research in each of these and I have been a council member of The Ghost Club (1862) since 2019.

I have presented a number of in-person and online talks to The Ghost Club (1862), the Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena (ASSAP), The Society for Psychical Research (SPR) and The Last Tuesday Society.
