About Me


Your Famous Last Words Will Be:
"So, you're a cannibal." What Will Your Famous Last Words Be?

Hi, I'm Remie, founder of Skeptical Analysis of the Paranormal Society (SAPS). If you haven't met us before, please be sure to check out our wonderful web site at: http://www.skepticalanalysis.com
Lately, we've been taking a close look at mediums and the search for missing persons, the exorcism ritual, and have started our own SAPS challenge. If you think you may possess psychic powers, please visit the site and give the challenge a go.
In January, one of our members will attend The Amazing Meeting, hosted by the James Randi Educational Foundation. There, we'll be taking photos, getting interviews, and generally sit around surrounded by skepticism. Check the site frequently for updates!
Feel free to e-mail any time at [email protected]
