First published as a bulletin in 1963, Theta has been the official journal of the Psychical Research Foundation, providing a forum for research and discussion on all types of phenomena related to the survival of personality or consciousness after death, including apparitional experiences, mediumistic communications, reincarnation memories, and reported cases of hauntings and poltergeists. Also covered within the scope of the journal were studies of altered states of consciousness which may suggest an extension of the mind beyond the physical body, such as out-of-body experiences and deep meditative states.

This page contains links to complete archival issues of Theta that are available for download in Adobe PDF format. (Please pardon the markings which appear in the margin of some of the issues; these had been made by a previous owner of the issue.) Other issues will be added as they become available.
