Re: Writing Us About Your Experience

The staff of the Division welcomes information about unusual or anomalous experiences that appear to challenge normal explanations.

Click here for a description of the scope of our research at The Division of Perceptual Studies. If you would like to submit a case that falls within our research focus, please email us with a detailed description of the experience.

Please Note the Following When Submitting an Account:

• We strongly prefer to have information about cases and personal accounts sent to us in writing via email.
• Please be aware that our small research staff will not be able to return personal phone calls related to your unusual experiences.
• Please do not send audio or video recordings with accounts, long manuscripts, or large e-files of any kind for us to review unless we specifically request them.
• Your message will be read and reviewed by our research staff, but due to a large volume of incoming emails, we regret that we are unable to respond to every correspondence we receive at this time.

We thank you in advance for honoring the above parameters when sharing your experience with us.

Please Note Regarding the Submission of Personal Accounts:  Persons submitting reports of unusual experiences should be willing to participate in research, which often involves filling out questionnaires and sometimes interviews.  Please be assured that your email will be held in strict confidence and only our qualified research staff will read your submission.
