The Association for the Study of Unexplained Phenomenon, Inc. A 501 (c) (3) Non-Profit, tax exempt Research and Educational Corporation, based in Texas with members worldwide. We are a member of the TAPS family and can be verified on the TAPS official website.
The ASUP offers free services, paranormal field investigations, support, and advice. We never charge a fee for any of our services. Membership is free, training is free, investigations are free, and always have been!
Please visit us at asup-inc.org to learn more about our organization with nearly 40 years of history.
For 2010 we have begun a "Spirit Communication" study including the new The P-SB7 Frequency Sweep Radio from DAS as seen on "Ghost Adventures" Halloween special. we are also testing several other communication techniques in this study and have partnered with Texas Christian University - Psychology Department in this study.
The ASUP was formed in New York City in 1973 by a group of journalists and academics who believed there had to be a better way to study things that go bump in the night. The founding members included Rick Moran a feature writer for CBS - Popular Magazine Group, Paul Hoffman of the New York Daily News, Peter Jordan, a psychology major with close ties to the Psychical Research Center at Duke University, Rita C. Allen, a graduate specialist in Information Science and Steve Kaplan, Ph.D., a curriculum specialist with the New York City Board of Education.
ASUP was enlisted by the Psychical Research Center in Durham NC to investigate claims in the book The Amityville Horror - A true story! sometime later, relying on their no-nonsense approach to documenting investigations in order to get to the bottom of that case. It was suggested by the author, Jay Anson, that demonic forces were confirmed at work by a PRF team. The ASUP was involved in that case for over two years, and Moran later did a lecture at Duke University supporting the use of both journalistic and police techniques in the investigation of all Unexplained Phenomenon , which changed the nature of field investigation forever. That suggestion was supported by a long time friend and researcher, D. Scott Rogo, who had originally supported the idea that field investigations would be better left in the hands of lettered academics.
Since that time, ASUP has done countless cases all over the continent and trained hundreds of investigators. Some of our most noteworthy cases include a study of the Mothman phenomenon and Bigfoot sightings as well as hundreds of lesser known cases. The group is currently being coordinated by Rick Moran, who calls the Dallas area home, although the group still makes house calls all over the United States and recently, Great Britain.
Our recent efforts include research in conjunction with Australian TV, The Travel Channel and The Learning Channel, doing one hour programs on past cases, as well as, radio talk shows including the TAPS radio program, Beyond Reality and countless magazines dealing with the world of the unseen. This web site is aimed at introducing both the seasoned professional and the general public to the history of the group, our training techniques and a plethora of material that might be helpful to fellow investigators, and includes a brief overview of our most noteworthy cases, our training procedures, equipment and basic membership information.
