From the desk of Nan Zingrone, July 20th, 2021: It is with a broken heart that I am here to let those know who have not yet heard that Carlos passed away at the age of 66 on Friday, July 16th.
A few days after his last post on this blog, we were in the ER at the University of North Carolina hospital. Two tumors were discovered on, around, and below his temporal lobe. On the 15th of January, he had neurosurgery which successfully removed all but 3% of the tumors. He was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive cancer on the 2nd of February. Throughout the spring, Carlos endured radiation treatments, and three different regimes of chemotherapy, but the residue of the original tumors continued to grow. On the 21st of June he entered an at-home hospice program, and on July 16th, passed away peacefully in our home.
Throughout his battle with cancer we were both inspired and comforted by the kindness and caring of the staff, nurses, and doctors at UNC Hospital, UNC Home Health, and UNC Hospice, as well as the prayers, healing intentions, cards, letters, calls, and visits from friends, family, and colleagues. We were grateful for everyone who sought to help him recover, survive, and then who prayed for and facilitated his peaceful passing. We could not have been more blessed in that regard.
If you are on Facebook, seek out the Parapsychology Foundation Facebook page and elsewhere around the FB universe where there are tributes to his character and work, and comments that have been so comforting to all of us who knew and loved him. The personal emails of condolence I have received and the public comments I have read have helped me so much with the pain of his loss after 38 years of happiness with this extraordinary man.
If you are a reader of the blog but don’t know as much as you would like to about his life and work, there is a biographical entry recently published on Psi Encyclopedia. In the fall of 2020, Carlos worked with Michael Duggan who writes many of the biographies in that encyclopedia. Dr. James G. Matlock helped finalize the biography while Carlos was in hospice and after he passed. The hard work of Michael, Jim and others has resulted in a very informative entry with a selected list of his publications. Click here to read this entry.
The Parapsychology Foundation’s first announcement of Carlos’ death included a link to an interview that PF President, Lisette Coly, published on the PF YouTube channel. Click here to watch that interview. If you put “Carlos S Alvarado” or just “Alvarado” in the search button on the PF YouTube channel, you will find a long list of Carlos’ interviews and lectures. The interview that Lisette linked to was uploaded 4 years ago and is a wonderful look into Carlos’s passion in the various topics of the field.
Over the next few months, I will be asking many of our colleagues to reproduce or discuss their tributes to Carlos here. I will also work to provide information about the various efforts that are made to memorialize his life and work, and to preserve his legacy. I don’t know how soon I will be able to start this series of blogs because, for me, this is an immediate and searing loss, but rest assure, the material will appear.
Your own thoughts and comments on Carlos, his life and work, and the content of this blog is welcome. I end this note with one of my favorite photos of this brilliant and generous man who has left us all too soon.
I recently received the sad news that my friend, and well-known parapsychologist Erlendur Haraldsson, passed away. Here is a short biography of his background:
Erlendur Haraldsson
“Erlendur Haraldsson was born in Iceland in 1931. He studied philosophy at the University of Edinburgh (1955-1956) and the University of Freiburg (1956-1958), later studying psychology at Freiburg (1963-1966) and the University of Munich (1966-1969). In 1969-1970 he spent a year with Dr. J. B. Rhine at his Institute of Parapsychology in Durham, North Carolina, and in 1970-1971, he did an internship in clinical psychology at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville where he met Dr. Ian Stevenson, leading to a life-long association and the publication of joint papers. From 1971-1973 he worked with Dr. Karlis Osis at the American Society for Psychical Research in New York. He received a doctorate in psychology from the University of Freiburg in 1972, and became a lecturer and assistant professor at the University of Iceland in psychology in 1973; in 1989 he became a full professor, and in 1999, an emeritus professor. His research and publications have covered a wide range of religious and psychological topics, including mediums, reincarnation, and deathbed phenomena” (online here). More details about his life appear in an autobiography published in Icelandic. The parapsychological content of this book will be published in English around March by White Crow Books.
One thing that I always admired about Erlendur was his interest in many areas of parapsychology. Few people in the field have shown such wide interests, particularly when it comes to research. I always felt that his contributions to the investigation of mediumship and deathbed visions were very important, and reminded us of the issue of spontaneous cases and survival of death.
This is evident in his bibliography, which includes such areas as ESP experiments, deathbed visions and apparitions, recollection of previous lives, mediumship, Sathya Sai Baba, and other topics. A few examples of publications appear below.

Although I first saw Erlendur at the 1979 convention of the Parapsychological Association held at Moraga, California, I met him in the early 1980s when I was working at the University of Virginia as a research assistant for Ian Stevenson. Stevenson assigned me to help Erlendur finish his book about Sathya Sai Baba. Erlendur asked me to find cases in the spiritualistic and psychical research literature of phenomena similar to those produced by this person. In later years he returned and I continued having long talks with him. I learned much from him (I was new in the field) and once he told me he saw me as a colleague, not as an assistant. This is one of the most satisfying moments of my early career in psychical research.

In later years, when he visited us again in Charlottesville, I continued having many conversations with him, and he stayed with me and with my wife, Nancy Zingrone, and used one of my cars. He also stayed with us briefly in Virginia Beach.
I greatly enjoyed his book Indridi Indridason the Icelandic Physical Medium (written with Loftur R. Gissurarson, 2015). I felt honored that he asked me to write an introduction to the book, and also felt he acknowledged my interest in the old psychic literature.
Although he conducted much research showing that psychic phenomena were related to psychological variables in the laboratory, I feel that Erlendur contributed greatly to expand the importance of seeing the phenomena outside of the confining experimental walls. Without rejecting laboratory work, he reminded us of personal experiences, the phenomena of mediums, and of the richness and implications of powerful experiences such as deathbed visions and apparitions, and later, recollections of previous lives.
Erlendur stated he was affected by figures in the field such as J.B. Rhine, Karlis Osis, and Ian Stevenson. I think many of us, myself included, were also positively affected by Erlendur, both personally and professionally.
First of all, my best wishes for the Christmas season and the new year.
This has been a relatively good year. Among other things, I have enjoyed hearing from some of you who have posted comments to the blog or have written to me personally. Keep writing!
As before, I have posted about recently published articles and books, such as the following:
As in previous years, I have written about my own publications. The last one is about Charles Richet: A Nobel Prize Winning Scientist’s Exploration of Psychic Phenomena, a collection of my previously published essays about Charles Richet’s interest in psychic phenomena (My Book about Charles Richet and Psychic Phenomena. December 8 ).
Another year has gone by. This one has been mainly good, not counting the recent loss of a friend. May I wish all of you a Merry Christmas (or, if you do not celebrate Christmas, a good end of 2017)?
Like in previous years, I have summarized for my readers various important publications related to parapsychology. These include:
One more year has gone by, and this one, I think, really fast. May I wish all of you a (belated) Merry Christmas (or, if you do not celebrate Christmas, a good end of 2017)?
Many good things, and some sad ones, have touched my life during this year. The latter includes the devastation of my country, Puerto Rico, by a hurricane. May the “Isla del Encanto” recover with the passage of time.
Among the good things I can mention my daily life, and my parapsychology work. This past year I received from the Parapsychological Association the 2017 Outstanding Career Award. I was not able to receive the award in person at the last convention of the Association held in Athens, Greece, but I sent a short acceptance speech that was read in absentia by Etzel Cardeña. Among other things, I said: “I guess some of you may think that, because the career award is conferred to senior members of the PA, I am on my way to the retirement home. Do not fear. I still have all my hair and it is not white yet. I keep myself busy writing various articles . . . . I also plan to continue with new work, especially now that I have been inspired even more by this PA award.”
As you know my blogs have continued over this past year classified under the following topics: Conferences and Other Events, Digital Resources, Education, Organizations and Groups, People in Parapsychology, Phenomena, Recent Publications, Voices from the Past, and Writing History. I particularly enjoy posting about recently published articles because this shows the dynamic work that characterizes modern parapsychology. Examples include:
I have also prepared various bibliographies hoping to use the blog for educational purposes. I do not expect any of you to read these in detail, but I hope you will remember they are in the blog if you need them or that you may tell students and others who may benefit from them that they are available. What can I say, the honor is to help, or to compile?
As most of you know, separate from my blog I publish papers about various aspects of parapsychology, mainly historical ones. I published some in 2017 that appeared in journals, and in the Society for Psychical Research’s Psi Encyclopedia. I mentioned most of these in the blog (e.g., click here, here, and here).

Another year has gone by, and very fast. Merry Christmas to all my readers.
I am glad to say that the number of followers of my blog has grown during 2016. This means that my blogs are not as boring as I thought they were.
As before, my blogs are classified under the following topics: Conferences and Other Events, Digital Resources, Education, Organizations and Groups, People in Parapsychology, Phenomena, Recent Publications, Voices from the Past, and Writing History. A few, such as the current one, are posted under Uncategorized.
Alvarado (in deep thought thinking about the next blog)
One of my favorite series of blogs is People in Parapsychology. During 2016 I posted various interviews with workers in parapsychology such as:
Other series of blogs are Author interviews, Recent Articles About the Histories of Spiritualism and Psychical Research, and Historical Notes About Out-of-Body Experiences. The latter has included postings about the writings of Hector Durville, Robert Dale Owen, and Eugène Osty.
Other blogs have been about particular books. Some, such as Hereward Carrington’s Eusapia Palladino and Her Phenomena, are about publications from the old days of psychical research. But others are about recently published books, such as Transcendent Mind, by Imants Barušs and Julia Mossbridge.
I also write scholarly articles, many of which are generously supported by grants from the Society for Psychical Research. These have been mainly articles about various aspects of the history of psychical research. Some blogs posted in 2016 about this work include:
It has given me great satisfaction to write for the above mentioned Psi Encyclopedia, an online project ably edited by Robert McLuhan. Several of my articles have been posted in the Encyclopedia during 2016. To date I have only posted one blog about this work. This is about Sylvan J. Muldoon and Hereward Carrington’s The Phenomena of Astral Projection.
As for the 2017, I plan to continue along the lines that I have followed during 2016, hoping to continue to inform my readers about serious developments in parapsychology around the world and about the history of the field.
Once again, my best wishes for the Holiday Season.

Spotty (left) and Pinky (right). Master proofreaders.
Many other topics are covered. In the blogs classified as Voices from the Past I talk about books and articles from the old psychical research literature. There are also topics I discuss under the labels Phenomena, Digital Resources, and Education.
Overall it has been a good year. In addition to various published papers in academic journals, my wife Nancy and I have had the pleasure of working with the Parapsychology Foundation, from which some onlineevents will come soon in 2016 (stay tuned).
On a personal note, we moved to a new apartment and adopted two cats. Life permitting I will continue this blog in 2016 bringing you more information, and some of my opinions, about various aspects of parapsychology.
2014 has been an interesting year for me, a year of uncertainty, and a year of change, but also a year of good things. My thanks to those who have made possible my living in North Carolina and my work. This includes my wife and colleague Nancy L. Zingrone, and others I can truly describe as good friends and benefactors, who I will only identify as E., E., J., N. & J., and B.
In this, my last blog in 2014, I will not only say something about the blog during this year, but also about my work in parapsychology. I will start with the blog.
According to an end-of-year report I recently received from WordPress.com, where my blog lives. I posted 69 blogs in 2014 (114 since 2013), and had about 34,000 views. Not including this one, I have uploaded 453 photos this past year. The blog with the most views in 2014 was the recent Parapsychology Massively Open Online Course (MOOC).
Most of the blogs are about recent publications, mainly articles, and some books. But I also write about people in parapsychology, digital resources, education, and various events such as conferences.
I have been particularly pleased with my People in Parapsychology interviews. These not only provide information for the general public about the work of particular parapsychologists, but also convey much about their beginnings and motivations, something of particular
As in previous years I have continued to do one of the things I love the most, writing and publishing scholarly articles about the history of psychical research. Here is a list of my papers about past developments, and past figures, all of which appeared in 2014:
(Second author, with E. Cardeña). Anomalous self and identity experiences. In E. Cardeña. S.J. Lynn, & S. Krippner (Eds.), Varieties of Anomalous Experiences (2nd ed., 175-212). Washington, DC: American Psychological Association.
But I have also worked on other topics, such as papers about out-of-body experiences and shared-death experiences that I hope will appear in 2015. One of the OBE papers is about those experiences that take place while the person’s physical body is physically active in some way.
I have new papers about historical topics that will continue to appear in 2015. Two of them were accepted by the Journal of Scientific Exploration. One is about the nineteenth-century work of John Purdon in which pulse rates were presented as evidence of telepathy. The other is an overview of the first volume of three influential journals: the Revue Spirite (1858), the Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research (1882-83), and the Journal of Parapsychology (1937). I am also working on papers presenting excerpts of the writing of old researchers and theorists. Some of these are about ideas of vital and nervous forces projected from the body of mediums to produce physical phenomena by authors such as Oliver Lodge, Gustave Geley, Joseph Maxwell, and Edward C. Rogers, among others.

More recently Nancy and I have been organizing online events that bring together many different speakers, something that has not been done at this scale. The first one was a conference that focused on parapsychology and psychology, while the second is an open and free online course, coming in January and February, that will cover different areas of the field and include discussion forums, assignments aimed towards obtaining a certificate of completion, and some introductory lectures from us. The really important part of the course will be the over 20 guest speakers, among them: Steve Braude, Richard Broughton, Etzel Cardeña, Kathy
Dr. Stephen E. Braude
Dalton, Fatima R. Machado, Joe McMoneagle, Everton de Oliveira Maraldi, Sonali Marwaha, Ed May, Roger Nelson, Alejandro Parra, Dean Radin, and Chris Roe. As of this morning we had 533 learners and 11 speakers signed up in the online classroom. Enrollment is still expanding, usually at the speed of about a half dozen new learners everyday.
Dr. Edwin May
Dr. Fatima R. Machado
Dr. Dean Radin
Nancy and I hope to continue to organize more online educational activities during the coming year. We plan to offer online lectures about specific areas of parapsychology as well as offer another conference and provide consulting services for others in the field who are also planning online courses, conferences and events.
Dr. Stanley Krippner
Regarding changes, Nancy and I have reorganized our organization, The AZIRE, to be more active in online educational and other projects. We have formed an Advisory Board consisting of: Dr. Dean Radin (Institute of Noetic Sciences), Dr. Stanley Krippner (Saybrook University), Dr. Charles T. Tart (University of California-Davis, Emeritus, and Sofia University), Dr. Christine Simmonds-Moore (University of West Georgia), Eberhard Bauer (Institüt de Grenzgebiete der Psychologie und Psychohygiene), Dr. Chris Roe (University of Northampton), and Dr. Erlendur Haraldsson (University of Iceland, Emeritus).
Dr. Erlendur Haraldsson
Dr. Renaud Evrard
Our first project was the coordination of online presentations in the virtual conference “Parapsychology and Psychology: Research and Theory.” Nancy and I did the first presentation: “Parapsychology and Psychology: An Overview.” The rest of the presentations were: “How Psi Works: The First Sight Theory” (James Carpenter, PhD), “Clinical Dimensions of Psychic Experiences” (Renaud Evrard, PhD, University of Strasbourg, France), “Cognitive and Emotional Empathy in Relation to Five Paranormal/Anomalous Experiences’ (Alejandro Parra, PhD, Universidad Abierta Interamericana & Instituto de Psicología Paranormal, Argentina; “We Are All Psychics, but (Often) We Do Not Know How To” (Patrizio Tressoldi, PhD, University of Padova, Italy); “ESP and
Dr. Patrizio Tressoldi
Altered States of Consciousness” (Chris Roe, PhD, University of Northampton, England); and “ESP and Synesthesia” (Christine Simmonds-Moore, PhD, University of West Georgia). In addition there were several poster (slide) presentations. The recordings of the presentations will be made available on our new YouTube Channel, Parapsychology Online, which is available here. In fact, we are also uploading recordings from the free online course that starts January 5th to our YouTube Channel as well as continuing Nancy’s “Primer” series on educational resources in parapsychology and uploading other content as well. Our new joint blog, Parapsychology Online, and Facebook page of the same name, are also part of our new educational activities.
Some of you may have noticed that the affiliation after my name in these blogs has changed. The last seven blogs have appeared under my new affiliation, the Parapsychology Foundation. I used to work for the Foundation some years back and I am glad to have the opportunity to do so again. Together with Nancy I hope to help the Foundation develop its programs during 2015, something I will keep you posted of in future blogs. I am also posting more frequently blogs to the Parapsychology Foundation’s blog page.
This “end of the year report” is incomplete but I hope it will be of interest, at least to some of you. I realize that my blogs are not for everyone. I focus on scholarly and scientific material, and several are bibliographical in nature. But I hope that at least some of the information I put out is useful and interesting to some. With a few exceptions the purpose of my blogs is to spread information about parapsychology (research, bibliography, history), and I only provide criticism in a few of them (no one is perfect).
My thanks to those of you who have been following what I write, and my best wishes for the coming year.
This is my 100th post. Where did all that time go?
My purpose here has been to present information about people, events, and publications related to parapsychology. This includes contemporary and historical developments, as well as scientific, scholarly, and various other perspectives. One thing I have particularly enjoyed doing is passing on links and descriptions of resources, such as virtual libraries and sites with links to articles. In addition, I have used the blog to inform all of you about my published articles (for an overview of some of them click here).
My posts have appeared under the following headings, which are arranged by frequency:
Recent Publications (News about articles and books)
People in Parapsychology (Interviews and obituaries)
Digital Resources (Virtual libraries and sites with links),
Conferences and Other Events (News about conventions and lectures)
Education (Resources and issues about education in parapsychology)
Writing History (Conceptual issues in writing about history)
Organizations and Groups (News about groups)
Voices from the Past (Observations and ideas from the old literature)
I plan to continue posting along the same lines and hope to have more author interviews such as the one featured here.
My thanks to all of you who have followed my blogs, and especially to those who have written comments. Thanks are also due to those of you who have taken the time and put much effort in answering my interview questions. I am also grateful to those of you who have posted my blog to various pages and forums, especially to Lori Derr, Judith Gadd, Tom Ruffles, Caroline Watt, and Nancy L. Zingrone. My blog is regularly featured on the SPR Facebook page and in Compelling Evidence for the Afterlife).
