The Marian Apparitions at Zeitoun with Travis Dumsday

Travis Dumsday is Chair of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Concordia University of Edmonton, Canada. He is author of several books, including Dispositionalism and the Metaphysics of Science, Alternative Conceptions of the Spiritual: Polytheism, Animism, and More in Contemporary Philosophy of Religion; and The Marian Apparitions at Zeitoun: An Evidential Inquiry.

Here he describes a series of intermittent apparitions associated with a Coptic church in a suburb of Cairo, Egypt, between 1968 and 1971, that were witnessed by over a million people. He evaluates a number of conventional explanations for the phenomena and find them all incapable of explaining the reported observations.

Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death. He is Co-Director of Parapsychology Education at the California Institute for Human Science.
