Tyrrell joined the Society for Psychical Research in 1908 and in 1923 completely devoted himself to the subject, here he conducted experiments into precognition and telepathy and became very interested in spiritualism. He seemed sceptical about ghost's and he believed them to be telepathic and only existed in regions of human personality and outside the field of normal consciousness.
Tyrrell was also one of the first investigators to introduce topics of a supernatural nature into mainstream psychology. He wrote books about science and psychical phenomena, well known books including, 'The personality of man' (1946) Apparitions (1953) which was often classified as a classic theoretical study of psychical research.view less
