The Skeptic is the UK’s only regular magazine to take a skeptical look at pseudoscience and claims of the paranormal. Founded in 1987 by Wendy Grossman, the magazine is now co-edited by Professor Chris French from the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit, Goldsmiths College, London, and Lindsay Kallis. It is a non-profit magazine published four times a year, available only by subscription. An invaluable resource for journalists, teachers, psychologists, and inquisitive people of all ages who yearn to discover the truth behind the many extraordinary claims of paranormal and unusual phenomena. Note that we are not connected with the similarly named (American) Skeptic Magazine or the (Australian) The Skeptic journal.
