(Consultant to "House at the End of the Drive")Dr. Barry Taff, an internationally recognized para-psychologist and expert on the paranormal, has done a preliminary investigation into paranormal events at the home of producer David Oman. A formal investigation, using the most sophisticated equipment available, will begin shortly. Through his efforts, producer Oman hopes to get to the bottom of the events that have transpired for the past three years.
Dr. Taff, who holds a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineering, worked as a research associate at UCLA’s former parapsychology laboratory from 1969 through 1978. During his 36-year career, Dr. Taff has investigated more than 4,000 cases of ghosts, hauntings, poltergeists, and he has conducted extensive studies in telepathy and precognition which led to the development of the original protocols and methodologies for what was later coined "remote-viewing." He also was himself investigated as a psychic subject in 1969, the results of which, entitled "A Laboratory Investigation of Telepathy: The Study of a Psychic," were published in Behavioral Neuropsychiatry, Vol 6, Nos. 1-12, April-December 1974-March 1975.
One of the cases Dr. Taff investigated in 1974 gained international fame as the book and motion picture, The Entity, starring Barbara Hershey which was released by 20th Century Fox in 1983. Dr. Taff has appeared on numerous TV and radio programs, including CBS News, KNBC News, KABC News, Strange Universe, Unsolved Mysteries, The Joan River’s Show, A Current Affair, Hard Copy, Sightings, Judge for Yourself, The Extraordinary, The Montel Williams Show, The Wil Shriner Show, The Suzanne Somers Show, NBC’s The Other Side (as a recurring guest), Haunted History, Mysteries and Scandals, ABC’s World’s Scariest Ghosts Caught on Tape, and, most recently, the Sci Fi Channel’s An Unknown Encounter & California’s Most Haunted (highest rated shows in Sci Fi Channel’s history, for which Dr. Taff served as creative consultant and technical advisor.
He has consulted for government, business and law enforcement, including the Central Intelligence Agency, Office of Naval Intelligence, National Security Agency, Defense Language Institute, Defense Intelligence Agency, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the FBI, Interpol, LAPD, California Highway Patrol, Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Department and the Westminster Police Department. He has also served as a technical advisor or script doctor on the films Logan’s Run, Demon Seed, Altered States, Poltergeist and The Entity.
Dr. Taff has written numerous articles for magazines and journals, and has been featured in many books on paranormal subjects, ranging from precognition to UFOs. He is also the co-inventor of six medical patents that are currently being developed for the market.
