The Skeptic is the UK’s only regular magazine to take a sceptical look at pseudoscience and claims of the paranormal. Founded in 1987 by Wendy Grossman, the magazine is now edited by Professor Chris French and Lindsay Kallis from the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit, Goldsmiths, University of London.
It is a non-profit magazine published four times a year, available to buy single issues or a yearly subscription online or by post. We hope the magazine is an invaluable resource for journalists, teachers, psychologists, and inquisitive people of all ages who yearn to discover the truth behind the many extraordinary claims of paranormal and unusual phenomena. Note that we are not connected with the similarly named (American) Skeptic Magazine or the (Australian) The Skeptic journal.
In 2005 The Skeptic received an Independent Press Awards nomination from
The Utne Reader (read our press release).
At the request of The British Library, as of 2008, The Skeptic website is archived on the UK Web Archiving Consortium’s project to “concentrate on sites of cultural, historical and political importance.” More information on the Consortium can be found at their homepage: www.webarchive.org.uk
