Windbridge Research Center

The Windbridge Research Center in Tucson, Arizona studies dying, death and what comes next, and is best known for its rigorous scientific research with mediums. Under director Dr Julie Beischel, Windbridge developed quadruple-blind experimental protocols for testing mediums, controlling for fraud and sensory leakage so that the question of what mediums actually do could be studied seriously rather than dismissed or assumed.

The center's work is organized around accessible research and education: its site answers the field's central questions directly, from what mediums are and how scientists study them, to why mediumship research matters for the bereaved, to whether all mediums are frauds and how experiments control for fraud. Windbridge publishes its findings for scientists, clinicians, practitioners and the curious, each with a dedicated research path.

Its stated aim is easing suffering around dying, death and what comes next, and its research on grief and after-death communication carries that into practice, informing clinicians who work with the bereaved. The center runs on donations, publishes free educational content, and remains the reference point for controlled mediumship research. The institution's stated mission: Easing suffering around dying, death, and what comes next.
