A few years back, there was mention that a prominent parapsychology group had come out with a statement that they were no longer going to study “phenomena’.... As none had been found.
Rather they were going to study the reasons people believed in such things.

Anyone recall that, or perhaps the group involved?

I think you are referring to the American Society of Psychical Research.

It might have been PEAR. Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research. I actually had a little involvement with one of their experiments.

I'm pretty certain it was PEAR. I'll search for confirmation (or not) after breakfast.

The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research lab — or PEAR — is closing later this month, after 28 years of investigating how human thoughts can influence physical reality. Its findings were largely rejected by the scientific community. Robert Siegel talks with laboratory manager Brenda Dunne.
