Charles Honorton

Charles Honorton (1946 - November 4, 1992) was a U.S. parapsychologist. From his early childhood, his interests were centered on the mind, consciousness and its potentials. As a teenager, he corresponded with Dr J. B. Rhine and, while he was still a high school student, he traveled from his home in Minnesota to Durham, North Carolina to spend his summer months at the Parapsychology Laboratory of Duke University.

Honorton collaborated with Dr Stanley Krippner and Dr Montague Ullman at Maimonides Medical Center (Brooklyn, New York) in the "dream telepathy" experiments. Honorton later became the Director of the Division of Parapsychology and Psychophysics at Maimonides. In 1979, he founded the Psychophysical Research Laboratories (PRL) in Princeton, New Jersey. In 1991, he went to the University of Edinburgh (Edinburgh, Scotland) to pursue a Ph.D. degree. He died of heart failure on November 4, 1992. He left an extensive collection of publications of his years in parapsychological research.
