About Nandor Fodor
Nandor Fodor was a British and American parapsychologist, psychoanalyst, author and journalist of Hungarian origin. Fodor pioneered the theory that poltergeists are external manifestations of conflicts within the subconscious mind rather than autonomous entities with minds of their own. The spiritualist Arthur Findlay, who founded the institute, did not approve of his research and resigned. The psychologist Robert Baker and the skeptical investigator Joe Nickell wrote that, in most cases, Fodor discovered ghosts are "pure inventions of the hauntee's subconscious" and praised Fodor's book The Haunted Mind as vastly entertaining.
