Institute for Parafunormal Studies

The original authority in responsible parafunormal inquiry.

The Institute for Parafunormal Studies is an independent academic body dedicated to the responsible investigation of unusual, amusing, and statistically inconvenient phenomena.

Founded in 2026, IFPS exists to bring order, documentation, and properly formatted footnotes to a field long dominated by rumors, dice, ghosts, and people pointing at things in basements.

Veritas Per Ridiculum
