The Ghost Club Society

One of the original psychical research organizations. It was founded in 1862 by individuals interested in ghost phenomena. Its membership (by invitation only) has included prominent psychical researchers, as well as actors, actresses, authors, and poets. Today the club, which has been superseded as a research organization, holds an annual dinner at which members relate personal experiences concerned with ghosts. Membership is not limited to believers in ghostly phenomena. Address: The Hon. Secretary, Mr. Trevor Kenward, Pine Trees, 26 Dewlands Rd., Verwood, Dorset, BH31 6PL England.
