Fact or Fake?
November 6, 2015 12:00 AM
Santa Monica, California – Santa Monica Public Library is pleased to welcome veteran investigator James Underdown for Fact or Fake? Science Looks at Paranormal Phenomena on Saturday, November 14, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. in Main Library’s MLK, Jr. Auditorium, 601 Santa Monica Blvd.
Paranormal tales and beliefs are common in our culture. TV shows feature psychics speaking to the dead, hairy humanoids in the woods, ghost hunts, and visitors from space. Are any of these stories true? And if they aren’t true, why are so many people convinced these phenomena exist? In this program James Underdown explains why people believe paranormal claims and shows the audience how other paranormal stories are faked. Bring your cameras for live demonstrations.
James Underdown has spent over 14 years investigating and testing extraordinary claims. He is the Executive Director of the Center for Inquiry-Los Angeles, and the founder of the Independent Investigations Group (www.IIGHQ.org).
