What people are saying about us…

“Julie Beischel and her team have joined a unique group of scientists over the past century who have studied mediums. Beischel’s team has taken on the challenge in a serious and rigorous way, and the results of their efforts are intriguing.”

Dean Radin, PhD, Chief Scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS)

“At a time when there are precious few remaining research centers investigating non-local consciousness and its implications of survival, the Windbridge Research Center serves as a beacon for future discovery.”

Robert Ginsberg, Vice-President, Forever Family Foundation

"It has been only in the last 15 or so years that a few courageous scientists have risked showing any interest in studying mediumship and picking up where [the] esteemed researchers of yesteryear left off. Dr. Beischel is one of those few.”

Michael Tymn, author of The Afterlife Revealed

“Probably no one has done as much detailed scientific research as Dr. Beischel in such an original way. Her results are unquestionably authentic and her unique direction unparalleled.”

Samadhi Longo-Disse, M.Div, STM, PhD, Grief Counseling Professional

“Dr. Beischel’s novel approach to mediumship research involves treating mediums as human beings who are able to report reliably about their inner subjective experience while giving readings. This approach has provided the fatal blow to the remains of the so-called ‘superpsi’ hypothesis which has plagued mediumship research since the time of William James.”

Neal Grossman, PhD, author of The Spirit of Spinoza: Healing the Mind

“Beischel is to be congratulated for her dedication to understanding a type of human experience that, for largely ideological reasons, science as a whole has shunned.”

Robert McLuhan, author of Randi’s Prize

"They do the best mediumship research in the world."

Julia Mossbridge, PhD

“Beischel herself has played a major role in strengthening the methods used in this field and her research exemplifies her rigor and sophistication.”

Daryl Bem, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, Cornell University

“Dr. Julie Beischel is a courageous, innovative pioneer who has brought immense respectability to a controversial area. Her contribution is huge, because throughout human history the terror of death’s finality has caused more suffering than all the physical diseases combined.”

Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind
