Zeitschrif für Anomalistik Band 20 (2020), S. 312–355 Psychical Research in Greece The 1935 European lectures of Angelos Tanagras Fotini Pallikari 1 Abstract – Te Greek Society for Psychical Research (GSPR), which fourished for 35 years in the 20th century, is currently not well recognized within parapsychology circles, either in its name or in its activities. Possible reasons may be its relatively short life almost entirely driven by the con- tinuous eforts of one person, its co-founder and only president Dr. Angelos Evangelidis Tanagras (1875–1971). Te current article pays a tribute to the many contributions of the Greek Society for Psychical Research to the international parapsychology, triggered by a recently recovered old manu- script, the typed German text of the renowned lectures that Tanagras delivered in Europe in year 1935. Tanagras had showed a flm of Cleio performing telekinesis on a compass needle and had discussed the psychical research activities of the GSPR. He included in the lecture his theory of psychobolia, of which a summary is presented here. Te content of these lectures is presented in the form of excerpts building the basis for the examination of the past research activities of GSPR. In a second part of the article, the mysterious case of the telekinetic medium Cleio will be further investigated, and fnally the possible reasons why the GSPR has not survived until our current time are examined.
