The Parapsychology Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 1951 by the medium Eileen J. Garrett and Frances Payne Bolton, Ohio's first female representative in Congress.
[1][3] The organization also founded the Eileen J. Garrett Library, which eventually made its way to Greenport, Suffolk County, New York.
[2] The contents of library have since been moved to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and have become the Eileen J. Garrett Parapsychology Foundation collection.
[4] Garrett claimed to be a medium and founded the organization with the explicit purpose of scientifically proving the existence of the soul.
Lisette Coly, granddaughter of Garrett, is Foundation President.
