Program Description

Event Details

Join us for "Curious About Cryptids," a presentation with Daniel A. Reed from the West Virginia Skeptics Society. We will delve into the evidence attributed to cryptids and explore how people approach the evidentiary claims about them. We will also be looking at how investigators of cryptids (and the paranormal in general) can use a skeptical mindset to help strengthen their research methods to hopefully improve the overall quality of their investigations. Don't miss this look into the world of cryptids and the critical thinking tools used to investigate them!

Daniel A. Reed is the founder of the West Virginia Skeptics Society, an organization dedicated to promoting scientific skepticism and critical thinking.  An author and lecturer, he has written on topics related to cryptids and the paranormal. His articles have been featured in the Skeptical Inquirer Magazine for Science and Reason, and he has appeared on podcasts such as The Skeptic Zone and Strange Encounters. Additionally, he has made guest appearances on YouTube shows like The Skeptical Help Bar.
