The paranormal fascinates all, believers and skeptics alike. But where the former should have no trouble at all finding news about phenomena, the latter usually have a hard time seperating fact from fiction for lack of trustworthy sources.

Luckily, the CSICOP (Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims Of the Paranormal) is an organisation encouraging the critical investigation of paranormal and fringe-science claims. They publish a semi-quarterly magazine, the Skeptical Inquirer, telling you what the scientific community knows about claims of the paranormal, as opposed to the sensationalism often presented by press, television and movies.

Besides the magazine, they also have a more frequent publiciation, the Skeptical Briefs, with many interesting articles available online.

Topics covered in both the Inquirer and the Briefs vary broadly from UFO's to Psychics and from crooked statistics to skewed 'scientific' paradigms.
